Pivot Works Shock Rebuild Kit

High quality perfect fit better than OEM i would definitely recommend this for any machine

I was intimidated initially to break open my rear shock to rebuild it. This kit gave me the confidence to do so and I was surprised how incredibly easy it is. The parts in this kit fit like OEM components. The result was a complete refresh of my suspension that I felt instantly.
The only item I had to farm out was the nitrogen-charging of the shock - my local shop charged a nominal fee to do this.
I would highly recommend anyone that is at least halfway competent in dirt bike maintenance to not hesitate in rebuilding their rear shock at home.

Kit was very nice, except mine had been opened before I got it and the o-rings had been removed. Had to out source the o-rings. Made an easy job difficult.

Convenient kit with all you need. And value for money

I was worried at first rebuilding my shock but this kit fit perfect and was easy to install

I have not serviced my shock since I've owned my bike (3yrs) and noticed the shock seal was leaking so I figured it was time to rebuild my shock. I took the whole thing apart cleaned everything up to get ready to put back together, opened up the seal head package and took a look at it an knew right away something was not right, the dust seal was crooked. I though ok maybe they didnt seat it all the way. Upon closer inspection it looks like the seal driver they used was a little off kilter and drove the seal on at an angle. Now I'm waiting for a replacement. disappointed because I've used Pivot Works before with great success! Now I'm a little hesitant to buy Pivot Works again, hopefully they step up their quality control.

It is a complete rebuild kit.

Glad I bought this rebuild kit. My bike feels so much better in all conditions and speeds. Comes with everything I needed

I had a difficult time with this order as the kit did not come with the needed piston bushings. The cap nut didn't fit the shaft and the web site mentioned bladder as included but was not the case. I did try to work out with the customer service team but three emails and a phone call. Then follow up emails to sales and ever the RMA alias did not provide any response. I know RMATV is better then this.

Stretching that teflon piston ring into place sure was fun! It would have helped to have some tapered pipes! But I did her. That rubber stopper just wasn't cuttin it for me so I didn't use it I just bought an OEM one.

Would definitely recommend

Has a polyurethane bumper instead of the soft rubber. The bumper was too hard and was inferior to the OEM so i threw the Pivot Works one away. Pivot came with a European wing style nut not the original style making it difficult/ impossible to stamp the nut. Piston band looked OEM quality but stretched too much when putting it on; however, this may have been my fault because I didnt have the specialty piston band tool that was none existent in the US - ended up going with a MX tech low friction unit. The retainer disk (or whatever it's called) appeared quality, as was the bladder; they were the only things I could use in this kit. This kit also didnt come with the dampening adjuster Orings, so it's incomplete and the only reason my rear rebuild is taking a week.

All seals and parts needed for complete shock rebuild. Had a question and customer service was great about helping me.
Only reason for 3 stars on durability and performance is because at time of this review the shock hasn’t been tested on bike

Everything was there except for the other (42.5X2.0) o-ring for the piston. That's really something that shouldn't be overlooked.

-m-2006 HONDA CRF250R--

Everything is included as for the parts inside minus oil and nitrogen very simple after watching the video on rocky mountain atv

This kit had everything I needed to rebuild my shock. It's nice to be able to buy kits like this

Great quality parts and relatively easy to install - I used the comprehensive Rocky Mountain ATV shock rebuild video as a guide.
The piston ring was difficult to install and the new shaft nut is dissimilar and unusual to the stock one; leading me to simply reuse the stock nut.
Overall, a great product with all the parts to get the job done to restore factory plushness and consistent feel.

Once again an excellent product. All bushings and seals that were needed are included in kit. Ease of install. One year after rebuild, still no leaks

nice complete kit. the bumper looks kind of cheap but it does the job I guess. time will tell. would be nice if the bushing was a clip on style. for most people getting the bushing on the piston would be a pain. for the money it's a good kit

Everything worked great, but the videos were indispensable to get this built correctly.

-m-2005 YAMAHA YZ250--

Excellent product. All the bits you need, none that you don't. Far easier to buy kit than individual parts.

-m-2002 YAMAHA YZ250--

It is great to be able to get all the quality parts in one package. The shock came up a treat and was sweat to ride.

-m-2002 YAMAHA YZ125--

Everything was the right size and fit very well.

I recently rebuilt my suspension and I used this kit for my rear shock and it feels amazing.

It's nice to get the kit not miss a part buying individual parts, fit as good or better than OEM

I rebuilt my front and rear suspension with pivot works kits as well as my linkage, swingarm, and steering. Awesome products at good prices.

Kit was missing main O-ring on seal unit, Pivot works acknowledged they had quality control issues with the older packaging (not sure why mine was older) and are supposedly sending out a replacement; although overnight would have been nice since I had to wait a week to get the package and now another 5 days to get the missing part. Also the valve "band" seal was not the same as my re-valved seal so I couldn't use it or the two o-rings underneath it.

Put about 12 hours on my bike since the rebuilding the shock with this kit, so far it seems alright. Could have used some form of instructions with the kit however.
