Help, shock spacers/washers, 09 Stumpy FSR and RP23

weeksy59

Right lads, one of the boys blew the fluid out of the propedal adjuster on his RP2 (maybe a 23, but i digress).

So, sent it off for TFTuning to sort out, which they've now done.

However, he seems to have misplaced/lost one of the mounting washers.

Sadly, i can't get the bloody pic off my phone, so can't post it. But from what i can gather they go over the mounting
bushes to give a decent fit/seal.

Anyone got one of these?

Cheers.

Contact MOJO with the shock info and make and model/year of bike and they can do the kits.

Also have a read of viewtopic.php?f=40043&t=12792339

Thank you. I belive he has them. The washers are more to fit at the end of them spacers to give a neat fit into the spacer on one side and frame mount on other.

good link though

You probably mean the washers for the needle bearing on the lower bushing? I might have some knocking around... otherwise try Betd, they can sell you just the washers I expect.

I'll try and get an answer to that But i get the impression he has 4, top and bottom. He's heading to Newbury tomorrow to dealer to see if they have one... but if they don't we can't ride Sund.

IIRC, I think the stumpy has a standard double top hat on the top, and a needle roller bottom, so probably doesn't need 4, only the two on the bottom (unless he's also short the top hats!)

I'm guessing the little black jobbies on this



or this lol

They're more complex that the ones on a stumpy. It's basically the white bits on this?

benpinnick

You'll be lucky to find them by the way. Rare as rocking horse poo. Youd be best off ordering a new bush and axle kit. if he's only missing one off the bottom, it should be ok to run it without! Theyre not that structural. Just pack around the gap with grease to stop crud getting to the rollers. I'd avoid to many rides like this though. The needle rollers don't like grit and dirt.

I had a look in the garage, I have 4 of the 2mm rubbery sort, not quite the FSR ones, but will probably do fine. Cant guarantee they'd fit as they are in theory .5mm too big, but I reckon they'd be fine. Also, as they are Betd ones, its possible that the inner diameter is different, but again I think its likely to be OK.

No chance to post them before Sunday, but if your ride happened to be in the Swinley vicinity, you'd be welcome to drop by (if you can be here and gone before 11:30).

Hi Ben.... Will let you know later how he gets on in Newbury at Spec dealer. Funnily enough the ride is in Swinley yes.

Top man, thanks.
