The rear shock is gone, oil is leaking everywhere from the top of the shock. Can this be repaired? The local dealer said I have to buy a hole new shock @ $1250 plus labour!!!!!

Is there an easy fix? and do they break often?I only have 1600mi on the atv

 

what type quad? Is this on the wolverine?

 

2002 Prarie 650 with 1650mi

 

I dont know about a fix, but before I spent $1250 on a new stocker I would upgrade to an elka for around $800 or find someone parting one out on ebay.

 

some of the aftermarket V Force shocks will fit ( I think the ones with remote ressies )... there is a guy on the "other" Kawi forum that rebuilds the front struts... I'm sure he could do the rear for a fraction of the replacement cost... Works now offers replacement front struts that are tuned for your weight & riding style... not sure, but would suspect they offer a rear shock as well, & I know the Works struts are less money than the O.E. replacents, so I'd suspect the rear shock is as well...

 

Yeah in the "other" kawi forum in the classifieds section someone is selling a set.
