k8 Vee rebound screw?

[Tris]

hi just looking for advice please.
On the bottom of the rear shock there's an adjuster screw with  s/h on it. at first the screw seemed stuck so I gave it a turn and it freed off. the problem is it just spins and spins either way. any ideas please?

That's the rebound screw for oil flow to your shock.

[Tris]

Is it supposed to just turn freely for ever?

[SuzukiSte]

no turn anti clock wise all the way to S then back up to H it should not keep turning all the way round hope this helps.

[Tris]

Balls looks like that’s broken then. Does anyone know where I could get the shock repaired in the uk?

[Loz]

If you're going to get one done you should have the other serviced at the same time, especially if they have not been serviced before.
It will also save you a lot of money if you can remove the forks from the bike.

[Tris]

Will do cheers for that. Any recommendations on where to take them?

[Loz]

Being from down south no real idea of any where up north other than KAIS, but they specialise in race bike suspension, but may still service normal suspension.

[SuzukiSte]

@loz he means the rear shock not the forks.

[Loz]

  I really must learn to pay attention 

Still cheaper if you can remove it, and if them forks havent been serviced they will be over due a fresh batch of oil in them.

Thanks Alby I will have a look

The screw is tapered and works on a rod that runs the length of the shock shaft and controls oil flow/damping.
The lower hoof of the shock is removeable but the screw is captive so I can't readily be accessed/repaired. As luck would have it, I 'may' have the lower hoof complete with screw in my vstrom box of bits - you are welcome to it for cost of post .- it will need to be accurately measured before & after disassembly otherwise the base damping settings will be wrong.
