Title: Lubricating K750 Shock & Shock Adjustment Cable
Post by: Syzygy on February 05, 2010, 07:08:38 AM
Hello all,

Saturday's wrenching is coming up quick, but before I get the K750 shock on I'd like to make sure it's properly lubricated and responsive.  First is, the adjustment cable doesn't seem to want to move.  I'm figuring slapping it with some WD40 to work the rust out is a good idea, but should I run something through the actual cabling?

Finally, is there anything I should get on the actual shock and plunger to keep it in good working order?

Buddha, I know you had a look at this shock before you sent it to me; any ideas on how to get the adjustment cable tweaked?

Peace,
Syz

The cable isn't jammed in that ... I tested it for that. It may need assisting at the dial if it is hard to move.
Show me a pic, I need to remember what shock.
Cool.

Oh dude, post that other side with the cable open ... I think I loosened the cable stays ... post the top side.
Cool.
