Hi Campagman

Yep, i think all Stelvisti should do that every year or every two years.
I was not aware of these needle bearings, but they will get a lot of mud
over the years.

Louis, Fantastic! :D
The leak I am having on my “still under warranty” shock is emanating from inside/behind the knob, I noted that part of the shock removal was to pull that knob. Wondering if this leak is something that can be easily fixed, or would one have to dig deeper?

I wouln't think there would be any actual shock fluid at that point. I have to think it is just lube for the shock preload gears. Maybe easy to fix.
 
Thanks Louis, great stuff. Have you thought about doing a complete workshop manual? :D If only Haynes did them as good as this! :)

Hi fatal

Sorry, but no. I do not have thoughts to make a complete workshop manual. They already exists.
Even a Stelvio partslist exists as well. I own a 2009 NTX and also my friend has a 2009 NTX and last wednesday
we both swapped our rearshocks and i made some pictures of it.
Lot of information i had read on this forum but i didn't found a procedure how to do swap it in the easy way.
For example, in the workshop manual is written that you have to remove the rear fork to swap the shock (that would be a disaster due to special tools i don't have) and in a topic from Tassie Mike i read that it was quit easy to do and also he mentioned the lowest bold lenght and the space between that bold and that little wishbone thingy.
With all those information, my pictures and the practical swap-expirience i was able to make the procedure.

Have fun...........Louis

Hi pnguzzi

My problem with the shock was, that is was to weak for 2 up with luggage.
Here in this part of Europe it is modern to make a lot of different doorsteps/thresholds in the roadsurface and i touched them to often with the centre-stand and same during off-road riding.

So, my old shock did not leak and i have no clue if it is possible that it will leak inside/behind that knob.
Could it be an internal leak which will squeese out the oil nearby the knob ???
