Thought I’d upload some photos of shock rebuilds for skidoo model. This applied to 2008-2024 for the most part. That said these are the KYB HPG shock or better. I have included exper and c-36 rear.
Overall these shocks are really good I feel. Steel piston and piston head. Ice scrapper is better than a elka in my opinion. 36mm body diameter for all models except KYB-40, which is 44mm. There is a comparison of a 2008 summit x shock to a expert model shock
Problems from factory is there only 70-80% full of fluid. Charge pressures vary from 200-250psi. Fluid is complete garbage and is clapped out at 1000-1500km for a intermediate rider. Advanced/aggressive rider would be a lot less. Whooped out trails, a lot less. Notice the picture of the piston with burnt fluid adhearing to it, not ideal.
A simple brake down, fresh quality fluid, and good charge is what these really need and there good for 2 seasons of aggressive rider in general.
If anyone needs some help with rebuilding, let me know.
