[QUOTE="ws6transam, post: 1331777, member: 65064"] Tech Care called me up after I sent in my shock for a revalve and rebuild, and they told me that the shaft on my shock was too pitted to use; that it would likely destroy the new seals leaving me with a leaky shock. Yamaha makes no new shafts, but they are available from KYB for between $100 and $200. Rather than pay to have a new shaft installed in an eighteen year old shock design, would it instead be worth it to upgrade to a used shock from a newer motorcycle, such as a WR450F or a KTM? It might cost a hundred or two more than the shaft route, but servicing might be easier in the future, as well. Does anyone here have any insight or experience in doing this? [/QUOTE]
