So I went to Hokie's place so they could work on it and come to find out the guy that lowered it over torqued a LOT!
![]() Thanks so much again Hokie! |

another person who didn't actually follow the torque specs in the service manual, eh?

More than just overtorqued - likely done with a healthy impact wrench. She said the PO installed the links.
It didn't appear corroded at all, but locked to the point I think it likely would have sheared or stripped the threads before loosening, and I definitely wouldn't trust it for re-use. We'll track down a bolt & have it on hand to swap tomorrow or Tue evening. ![]() Jenna - the hardware you need is #9 & 11 shown here. http://www.mrcycles.com/fiche_sectio...008&fveh=19002 I made a mistake when I wrote down the bolt info. It's actually M12x1.25 x 100mm long, and grade 9.8 or 10.9 I'll see what I can find 1st thing in the morning. Last edited by Kerry_129; 10-04-2009 at 10:31 PM.. |

I think I actually have that bolt somewhere, but it would take years to find. I have another shock as well.
Make sure you inspect the shock threads carefully, if something is torqued that bad, it's going to damage the threads if you snap it. If worse comes to worse and you damage the threading, I can hook you up on a good deal on another stock shock, cause I know I have one and I know where it is. Thats the bad thing about putting threading on the equipment itself. I have a big issue at work I am dealing with where the threading on a motor got damaged from the torqued value provided by the vendor and the motors are ripping themselves off the equipment. This motor is a lot more powerful than a SV though.

Fortunately it's just the bottom linkage bolt/nut which sandwiches the dogbones & needle-bearing sleeve. I'll inspect the sleeve, of course, but they're hardened/ground so I doubt they 'mushroomed' at all. I have an identical flanged nut which I cannibalized off a HawkGT project-bike, but the bolt was only 80mm. Good looking out though!
