Rear Rebound Knob Replacement Question

• Rear Rebound Knob Replacement Question
  Posted by Dezsled on 27 Nov, 2012 22:05
• The rebound adjuster knob fell off my rear shock sometime ago. I took a look at the parts break down, but mine has a red rubber part where the mounting screw would go into...or so I thought. Anyone know if the knob can be replaced without going to a shock rebuilder?

• You can try Ronnies Mail Order. His site has the microfiche and able to order the random parts and fasteners. All parts are OEM. Hope this helps.

• yes you can replace those 2 parts without taking the shock apart.  there should be a little threaded piece sticking out of the shock, with a flat on it. 
  
  there is no red rubber part there on the stock shocks.  so something else is missing.  post a picture.

• Well I didn't lose mine but I was looking too. For a aluminum knob anodized blue, I was thinking of sending mine to mx tech or race tech and seeing if they could tell me what would fit?

  There's that red rubber part, right where the screw should be going. Is a part missing?

  I really hate not being able to edit mah post, mitch!
  
  I take that back.  They are not the same as in the pictures on part sites.  There is no where for the knob to screw into.  Just a flat head.  I bought a couple because my rezzy one was gone too.

• take out that rubber piece, no oil will come out.  there should be a threaded hole there.  and the outside screw should have 2 flats for a knob.
  
  heres some pictures of the adjustment knobs on the 500.  last pic is the 2 parts new from suzuki, knob and screw, and the part numbers.   
  
  87 shock has 2 knobs, one on the rezzie and one on the shock.  88-90 shocks have a slot for the adjuster on the shock, and a knob on the rezzie.
