    one more question...

    my shock it's not licking and works well. Only the bumper disapppear. Destroyed by the years

    Do you think it's possible to take apart the feet of the shock without depressurizing it, just to replace the bumper?

    obrigado

    Yes. You just need do unscrew shock bottom clevis (use heat to broke loctite and aluminium clamps to protect the shock stem)

    It good practice change rebound bolt o rings due heat you used

    Cut car bumper or buy new one from splat shop (gasgas bumper is sheaper than shercos)

    Ciao cascao, thank's for sharing your knowledge with your nice video. 

    I' m gonna service the Sachs shock of my gg txt 280 2000 and I would like to know how many cm the air/gas piston separator should enter in the schock absorber body.

    i can't see the measurement you made on your video. 

    Cheers from Italy .

    Thanks 

    do not know how many they use from factory.

    On shocks I reassembled used the rule below:

    Meassure shock shaft lenght that goes inside shock body (estimated pu bumper half compressed) and increase a little (10mm)

  3. Can't see the matting surface on your photos.

    With a sharpie pen, paint all conical axle surface. Put flywheel on place hold it while you spin the motor.

    Paint should be removed / scrached on entirely surface showing good contact.

    If not, use some abrasive paste (car popet valve grinding paste) or improvise with small sandpaper betweed both surfaces.

    Turn virabrequim while hold flywheel  untill you have good contact patern.

  4. Newer ST's don't have pipe drain hole like first models. 

    Oil can acumulate inside pipe if you ride for long periods slow. If after that, you ride it hard (uphill open trothle for long periods) it can ignite "gum oil" inside pipe and get very hot with a lot smoke. I think this hapened with me when bike melted rear fender.

    i take it if you can't get michelin x lights or X11 and dunlop D803, you've tried Prielli MT43, IRC, and even Mitas ?

    No. Only Michelin.

    But have friends who tried pirelli (crap) and mitas (better).

    Will give trialmaxx a try.

    FWIW i was told by the Motul rep ages ago that full synthetic in a trials bike doesnt burn away in the silencer because the motor doesnt get hot enough like a moto crosser or race bike so they recommended semi synthetic. Actually they recommended their "scooter oil". I've used semi synthetic ever since with no problem but i am sure many will disagree. Always a horny subject this with so many different "recommendations". As long as the user is happy then thats as good a result as you can hope for. 

    Look at "flash point" at oil specs and choose lower ones to avoid oil spoonge at pipe

    Motul 510 is going OK for me. Maybe will test the 710 someday.
