Bump stop

[08IRS]

Is the bump stop on a OEM rear shock user replaceable or do I need to send the shock off to be serviced.

Thanks,
George

I have never seen them for sale and could never figure out how to get to it. I do see they are available from the Pro's. Chances are if you need to replace it you need the whole 9 yards. Myself I like the aftermarket setup when I can afford it. That way everything is new and will last the rest of my riding lifetime

I am working on my front suspension now but don't have the coin to throw at a new rear shock.  Working on it but not quite there.  I have two rear shocks and considered sending one off to be serviced but I am not sure if there are worth putting the money into or not.

Yes you can replace the bottom-out bumper, but it requires disassembling the shock I believe.

I actually got mine changed to a softer bumper on my PEP rear, you can notice a pretty big difference when squeezing them. We'll see how it feels when riding

Any direction on the disassembly?

Tbone is right, you have to dissassemble the shock.

the easiest way to explain it would be for you to watch a youtube video on how to dissassemble. You will have to do a full dissassembly. Let the nitrogen out of the shock, remove the bladder from the reservoir, remove the dust seal and cap, remove the snap ring that holds the shaft assembly on, pull the shaft assembly out, grind the threads off of the top of the shaft (if it has never been revalved before), then remove the shaft nut, then the valve stack and piston, then you can remove and replace the bump stop. It's basically the last step in a complete revalve.

After reviewing this, I am not sure I have the time to do this right now.  Probably better to just send it off.  I was hoping there was an easy way to replace the part without tearing the entire shock down.  Bummer...

Its hard to beat Evans prices.

if the bumpers are beat out Im sure the shock will need service also.usualy leaking shock oil helps destroy the bumpers

[08IRS]

I have two rear shocks.  One is near perfect, no leaks just no bumper, the other is leaking, no bumper and in need of a good service.   I may give them a call.

As already said it does have to come apart to change bumpers ,but it is not a hard thing to do . it will need to charged with nitrogen when done .If you want some help just say so
