Title: Replacing Shock Bumpstop - Diassemble Shock?
Post by: fullmoonguru on July 23, 2015, 09:49:59 AM

Just bought a kx100 for my kid and the bump stop is shot.  I'm wondering if the bottom of the shock comes off, or if we have to pull it all apart (then I might as well rebuild, then I need nitrogen...)

Yep, Foxx is right, you will need to disassemble to replace the bump stop.
Put in a new seal head while you there and call it good for a while..
