I re doing my rear shocks on my 2002 srx 700. Here is my question. Should I just revalve this pair of viper shocks I have or take the shaft out of them and put them in my srx shocks like Bruce does from Pioneer?
Thanks
Thanks
if your on a budget, install the srx valve stacks in the viper shocks, use the srx center spring instead of the viper spring. it should be rattle loose for preload. use the bearings from the ends of the srx shock body and shaft and install them in the center viper shock. there are directions for this in my skid article.
I used this very setup in my viper for about a month, worked good.
if you can, get some longer transfer rods and mount them in the rear holes, allows the skid to travel more.
also flip the front brackets at the least for the front to level out the sled a little.

Ok, so do you know by chance what all Bruce from Pioneer does when he does this?
Greatly improve the ride of your sled without affecting the handling! We take your rear shocks, install new shafts, re-valve them, and change the center shock spring. When we’re done you have the same amount of rear travel as the SX-R & SXViper. The major difference is this kit is designed with more “set-in” on the rear, keeping the rear ride height at nearly stock level when sitting on the sled. The increased travel allows us to keep the spring rates lower, while the longer travel gives the shocks more time to react. This combination gives you a better (plusher) slow speed ride, improves the ability to go through the bumps at higher speed, and increases weight transfer. Send us both of your rear shocks and we install new factory parts. We send them back with all of the necessary parts and instructions for easy installation. Specify year, model, rider weight, and riding style when sending shocks in. After-market control rods are not necessary when installing this kit.
