Jeremy ... HELP!!!

Jeremy,

I've got a '01 250SX that once again has blown out where the shaft meets the clevis. KTM updated the clevis and shaft the last time it happened (almost a year ago) and yesterday it blew again. Do you see this often? Have any clue as to the cause? I'm not really a super rider or anything, but I hit some fairly large jumps (60 ~ 75 footers) and like to pound whoops and such. If I send both ends to you for a revalve can you replace the clevis while your at it, or do I need to get that fixed first? I was planning on shipping my suspension to you in about a month anyway (I'm moving and was going to send it while I didn't have time to ride), but I'm not sure what to do with it now.

Sincere Thanks,

Treekiller (I think I should change it to ShockKiller)

thanks Marcus,

Forgot about the mix forum-work thing. My original intent was to ask if he knew of a fix or cause for this to happen. I guess I got carried away. The clevis they put on last time was suspposed to be a newer version that had been re-engineered to prevent this. My shock's been serviced twice, all by KTM. The last time I sent it to an MX-Tech affiliate and he informed me the clevis was bum. At the time the parts were backordered from KTM and WP, and he (or mayber me, I can't remember) thought maybe my dealer could put more pressure on KTM for parts. I just hope if Jeremy can't service KTM doesn't take 3 months like the last time. I'll just buy a new shock before I wait like that. The only reason I did last time is they told me "oh, we'll have the parts next week ...", over and over). I love the bike, but if they jack me around on parts like that again I'll have to trade it for something with better availability. I don't want to buy a jap bike, but I can't afford two bikes to keep up.
