Mr Ohlins did not smile on me today
Or I know I'm fat but damn......
So I'm out riding today on Latigo Cyn and came up on a local who decided to take off.... Well no problem now I have someone to set the speed for me.... roll the bike into the next corner and suddenly it feel like I'm riding a pogo stick....
Pull over and check things and I have no damping in the rear
So nursed the bike home figuring I blew a seal..... but noooo when I pulled the shock I found this:
Guess I'm giving Dan a call in the morning.......

On my penske, it somehow sunk down to compressed. Almost fell over off the now too long side stand. Rode it home like that. Suspension guy said he never saw it before. Internals totally failed. Glad you are ok. I saw one fail in turn 1 of a race and cause a horrific crash.

Talked with Dan this morning and the problem was that the lower spherical bearing seized which caused my issues....... Shock is in the mail and should be back pretty soon

Yeah send it in to get it rebuilt..... I was getting things set up to do that as the shock felt a little stiff but just had not got it done yet..... Well at least now I have an excuse to see if a ride height adjuster can be retrofitted

Dang it, you nailed me again!!! You're almost a bad as those cops around here that keep stopping me....... stops but no tickets and that's a good thing.

Besides, Honda never, ever makes any part that brakes or couldn't be improved upon. Oh, except for that little CCT thing. And maybe the r/r. Or choke cable housings.
lol, I couldn't resist . I would buy this (my Honda) product again and would recommend it to a friend.
