That is strange... not normal. Bummer. You really shouldn't be able to compress a Moton very easily at all. The nitrogen pressure is pretty substantial.

 

Are you absolutely sure that they're all set the same?

 

Yes, I set them, changed them, reset them, changed them, reset them in hopes I was wrong and that nothing was wrong with the shock. With my limited knowledge I knew something wasn't right.

Who should I consider sending these off too? I'd like to get them back quickly but my understanding is it could take a while.

 

I'd send them to PSI like 80% of the rest of the people on here do. I heard they normally take about 4 weeks. Dont send them to SRP, James has had my shocks 6 weeks and as of last week he said "I'm waiting on parts." So if you want them back quickly I'd send them to PSI. I had a friend tell me that he dropped his konis off to Lee Grimes on his lunch and before he got to mcdonalds and got done eatting his burger Lee called and said they were done and he could go pick them up. So if Lee can rebuild 4 shocks and dyno them in under a hour I have no freaking clue how it takes weeks apon weeks to rebuild shocks. It's bullshit when I send someone shocks that cost over $7,000 new and plan to spend $1800ish for a rebuild and the person takes 6+ weeks to rebuild them and doesn't answer the phone 99% of the time you call. You would think making $1800 for a couple hours of work people would be modivated to get them done and have amazing customer support. My shocks will be sent to PSI for now on.

Sorry to hear about your shock! I know your pain!

 

Thanks, thats very good to know. Sorry to hear about your situation, hopefully you can get it situated soon. With any luck I won't have to deal with the same sort of thing.

 

You know, sometimes it takes time to get parts. I'm sure there is no shortage of parts to fix a Koni Yellow. Now, with a JRZ or Moton, there may be an actual shortage and at least a year ago, you might have to wait for parts to come from Denmark if you had to have a new body or something for your Motons. FWIW, I've always had my Montons serviced in under 4 days by Moton when they were here in Atlanta. Now that Moton has been sold, I'm not sure if the MCS guys here will service them or not.

 

Unfortunately they don't have parts, I asked Lex last week and he told me send them to James at SRP, but after looking at this thread I'm sending mine to PSI. As much as I would like to get my shocks back by April, I understand it's hard to bank on a quick turnaround especially if you haven't sent them out for service by the end of Dec.

 

Awe, that's too bad that Lex and crew aren't servicing Motons. Hopefully, they are too busy with MCS orders.

 

When swapping out springs I had issues removing one of the SoS gold tophats from the Motons I purchased last year. The previous owner must have scratched them up because I had to use a 3-jaw bearing puller to remove the tophat and upper spring perch due to corrosion. I took a flapper disc to it to remove the corrosion and then used anti-seize on that one as well as the other 3. Glad there wasn't any corrosion on yours though.

 

You may also be able to send them to Moton-USA/AST-USA in Plano. Might be worth calling them.
