Can you rebuild a rear shock?

Is it possible to rebuild a rear shock on a kz?

I would like to put a heavier weight oil in them, but didn't know if it was possible.

Nathan...I posted this same question several months ago for my bike(s) and got zero answers. I'll be be watching to see if you have better luck.

I think only certain kinds of shocks can be rebuilt, but I wanted to see if anybody else had some additional insights...:blink:

Yes, you can rebuild shocks although Im not 100% I think that the stock kawasaki shocks are welded? I have a set of Mullholland shocks on my 650 and Ive had them apart although the Aluminium seal holders stripped :blush: when I removed them and I had to make up a stainless set on the lathe, worked out ok as I was able to machine the nut/holder to take a hydraulic ram shaft seal.
Ther is a mob here in Brisbane Australia that rebuild even welded shock, must be a bit of a mission though.
