    No.

    just put on a replacement shock, replace it at 100 or 125k.

    I've never seen shocks last more than about 4-6 months. Then again the bush roads beat the tar out of everything lol.

    The price of top quality shocks on a quad or dirt bike is highway robbery. 2000+ for fronts and 1000-1500 for a rear shock. Gotta pay to play

    6 paccar shocks were just over $300 iirc, easy enough to Toss on while changing/rotating tires

    Thats if you can find them. It took me a long time to track down a set of paccar Shocks a few months ago.

    Must be nice. Mine started leaking while on the road. I went to 3 dealers and 1 napa and only come up with 5 Shocks and that was over a 3 week period. Ended up ordering the last rear I needed online and had it shipped to the house when I got home.
