I am doing my pre-season maint. on my Viper S. ( 1 season old, 1350 miles).
The shocks in the skid seem to be good and firm, as much as you can tell in 50 degree weather, but I decided to have a closer look, and now I am confused. Let me explain. I thought that one of the rears was an Ohlins while the other was a KYB. This past weekend at the milwaukee show one of the shock service guys told me that they were both rebuildable KYBs.
All I could see from laying on the ground was the warning sticker that they are under high pressure...No KYB sticker, and I could not feel the valve for recharging the gas anywhere on either shock, so I do not know if these are rebuildable or not.
So....Anyone, especially Viper S owners, do you know what these things are? Rebuildable? I'm guessing after one season I should be o.k., but I'd like to know what the shocks are. I have checked the Yamaha site parts book and manual, no clues at all.
What's the deal?
Thanks 2datrl
