The shop at batu caves is selling RM1800 full set and need to pre order for 2 weeks. Oh FYI, Koni shocks is not direct replacement. you will need to use back the current absorber housing, operate it and insert the koni strut into it.

Sifu Normality78,

Maybe not all shox are "insert replaceable", I think. The standard ones that I use now are gas type, I think. They're sealed; meaning there's no nut to be opened to remove the struts inside wor. I think probably only those oil types or really ori ones can be replaced with new inserts la.

The shop's called Hokomoto, if I'm not mistaken. I think they're quite expensive & takes too long to arrive.

Sorry, Normality78. It's just a friendly way of greeting people. Pls don't take it so seriously. Just like when people call others "Tauke", doesn't mean that they must the boss, right ? My apologies again:embaressed_smile:, for missing out the word "operate". Hehehe. Sorry, sorry.:embarassed::embarassed:

Pls let us know when you find out more about it, k. Thanks very much.:regular_smile:

Thanks for the link, bro but in order for the inserts to be changed, the old housing must have the gland nut type & thread in the housing itself for the gland nut to be tighten, so that the inserts could sit inside the shox housing, right ?

I don't think we could just operate as we wish bcoz some housing for gas type of shox, does not have the gland nut one wor. It has some sort of metal cap just that just seals it. I've just changed my rear shox, Tokico brand. That's when I saw the housing with the seal, instead of the gland nut type.:hmmmm2:

er... so far 2 of my fren done it before but i personally did not. i felt very stupid to buy a reputable absorber at not cheap price and yet we got to "operate" it to be in order to fix it.

anyway Koni did emphasis that it can only be use on stock kayaba absorber only meaning i think only kayaba absorber can be operate in such a way

 

[nappx]

normality..

you already singaporean ka...my rear asb also bleeding and already lost lot of blood la i think..need to buried until get the new stock please let me know the price for front and rear..

thank

 

[nappx]

Yup, I agree with you, bro. So troublesome, no wonder they're not so popular. On the other hand, we don't have much choice, do we ? I mean for those who wants shox that're slightly harder than standard ones. Those local made ones lack reputation la, no confidence in them.

Any suggestion from you, bro ? I mean S'pore must have many choices available, unlike here, right ? & should be cheaper too ?

 

[normality78]

nop dun have. koni dun have. this is according to the tech support by koni US/UK. i emailed thm and all respond the same. Even the most basic red edition also need to operate.

mine one bleed until my tyre also kena scratch la. now im enquiry at Kayaba Singapore and Tokico Singapore, see can i get fully ori absorber frm japan.

I just bought a pair of Tokico, made in Japan for the rear, bro but only standard shox; meaning not sports type la. So Japan Tokico is available here but only standard spec ones.
