Ever want to know.....

What an XR100 rear shock looks like when cut open?
I did, so I cut one open. I will be putting it back together too.

 

Almost identical to KW car shock.
Put stiffer spring on the top of that shim, or more preload

 

You can see the small spring at the bottom? That is a cone shaped one. That is the compression valve. I might have to get a shim that will go under it. Ha/

 

No, that is check valve. Compression is still in the tube.

 

You are right. I forgot about the base valve. Haven't torn into that part yet.

 

Think forks, it is same basic thing.

 

now what are you going to do with it?

 

This was the sacrificial lamb. Now I know how to set it up to be able change oil in them.

 

Mine is different from that the bottom mount was threaded on.

 

Really? All of them I have ever seen were welded. That is interesting

A severe case of bad-ass-ness

 

Believe it or not that is a teachers and that was a class engineering project. They also build electric cars and off-road motorcycle powered stuff. He rides with us on the mini bikes I have yet to see that bike in person yet.

 

There is a company out of Wisconsin (I think) that makes efi kits and efi and turbo kits for small engines.
