Just followed this to change on my 2013 explorer. Did you have any issues getting the 90mm pin through the new lower mounting bracket. Seams very tight did you have to hit it through
Thanks Richard yes mine came out easy from the original shock but can't seam to get it back through on the new Hagon shock. I'll give them a call Monday morning
@@zaphod01269 all done in two and a half hours. The only issue I had was a) fitting the top shock bolt in before I'd got the drag link in the right place, and b) refitting the link pipe due to the seal getting a bit out of shape. I'm really glad I watched the video, I'd have been scratching my head as to how to get that little cannister out without taking out the battery. 👍
Hi Nice video How did you calculate the spring rate? I'm having a similar problem when im 2 up touring but as mine is an xca I want to keep the semi active been told no dramas gettin a new spring fitted and was guessing I want an extra 30k of capacity in the spring as the factory is ok with 2 but luggage kills it. Any advice would be much appreciated.
I haven’t tried it yet as I’m in Wales and locked down but I am sure that by having free greased bearings it’s bound to make a difference. I’ll do a follow up post when I’m allowed out to play.
@@richardtaylor9483 Took it out yesterday and all i can say is WOW. Its much more planted and stronger in the corners all this time i thought it was the seat being uncomfortable.The bike is taking the bumps now instead of my arse.
@@zaphod01269 Getting one!! Thanks for the review mate,much appreciated! There are a few different brands here in Holland,Hyperpro being a good one.Cheers 👍
Hi. I'm ordering a Hagon unit. Do you think the one with the hydraulic adjuster is worth buying rather than the one that requires the tool to adjust preload? Secondly, does it give your bike a noticably more comfortable ride than the stock unit? Thanks
Waiting for my new shock to arrive, and was considering installing it myself. Will definitely be doing it now. Great video.
Thank you ,im not a natural with the camera but im learning.Great to get positive comments.

@@TisAid4Rizoo Great, i hope it rides nice for you,i noticed the difference straight away.
Much better, feels proper 'planted' when cranked over.
Hi! Your video inspired me to try and replace the shock myself. Thanks! What is the torque to tighten the nuts back on?
Hola amigo , cuanto pagaste por el amortiguador ???
Where did you find the torque specs?
Hello my friend i have changed the damper now i have found a screw locking device where does it belong?Andreas from Germany😎

i told hagon my size and weight and wife and luggage and they put correct spring on.
Are you running the stock front seat? I have a 2019 with the "comfort" seat and my backside is not happy. Any suggestions? Thank you.
im running a touratech seat its the only one that worked for me
So you say the bearings and seals were difficult to remove? Did you require some kind of puller? Any tricks?
i used a socket a vice and hammer
Hi, just wondering if you still have the old shock and would you be interested in selling it?
i hadnt thought of selling it as i was keeping it as a spare,what would you offer if i was to sell?
@@zaphod01269 £150?
@@zaphod01269 was there a price you had in mind?
Does it make a difference if you ride solo?

@@zaphod01269 Look forward to it mate,hope it happens for you people soon.
