Temporary Fix again with Shock being sent from the US
Hey guys,
Thanks for all of the support....I found a guy here in Huaraz who could take the shock apart (akin to the Lima situation). So my rear end has stopped flopping around but I am not sure how long this one will last so I am having a shock sent down to one of my forward destinations in Quito or Medellin.
I think may have figured out why my shock failed.....no one here has the pressurised nitrogen so they are not filling the shock. As I understand it there is only shock oil in my shock right now. Anyone know if this sounds right? My thought is that when I took the bike on the dirt track and played with her over the bumps I blew out my seals. This was just a thought. The back end does not have any spring back when pushed down. It just sort of sits there but it no longer bottoms out. The questions me be better asked in the teck section.
Thanks for all of the help and any suggestions on shipping into Quito or Medellin with regards to customs will be helpful. I am going to ask dualstar and klr650.com if they can put a lower price on the invoice so i do not get nailed on import taxes.
We will ride out of Huaraz tomorrow on our way to Casma directly over the hill....no canon de pato for us on this trip but I will for sure make it back down here to play some more!
Hadjh
