Kanguro rear shock

Post by Morini047 »

Does anyone have a manual for the paioli rear shock absorber for the Kanguro... or at least the oil capacity?

Actually Norbert, some did come with Paioli fitted. Also some had a remote reservoir and some didn't! As far as I know they were not designed to be serviceable and my only attempt at repairing one was a failure. With my limited skills and facilities I couldn't work out a way of securing the top seal after I'd opened the unit up.
I have heard some people say they have managed to repair them and some suspension specialists too, but each one said they wouldn't bother again for cost and practical reasons.
The majority of people wanting to ride them end up fitting new units from the likes of YSS or Hagon etc. I found the YSS to be the better option, personally.
