[QUOTE="Labradorcoaster, post: 167677, member: 1606"] Yup... My sentiments also, called a dealer who quoted a replacement price of 1,300.00$ Can. but she was very helpful and gave me the adress of a suspension/shock shop in Quebec that quoted me a rebuild price of approx. 250$. when I mentioned the low hours on the bike he asked me if the bike was stored in cold temperatures. when I told him that I had been out this winter in -25 C he told me this was the most likely cause of the shock failure. Super cold/thick oil caused the premature failure of the oil seal. They do replace the OEM seal with a higher quality seal. But... does this mean that I risk blowing a seal if I use my bike in cold temps. Had a blast this winter as the snow and Ice expands my playground considerably. Interesting that bike shocks are not designed for these temps, but other shocks are... [/QUOTE]
