2008 Atomik Blitz 250 review

[wikid horse]

my rear shock has died (it blew a seal and dropped all it's oil) does anyone know of a decent replacement that isn't atomik?

Good luck trying to get one that fits. Mine had the same problem not long ago, rang atomik and they said they werent gettting them in stock for about 6 weeks. If your looking for a replacement china brand one, theres a shop on ebay thats sells em, but they link to it a bit differently so it needs modification. If you want the name of that shop, PM me and ill tell ya when i get home from work. Cant check it atm.

What length is it? eye to eye?

I'm pretty sure dnm make one that is close im not to sure would have to double check and wayne from memory the shock was 380mm

Read the review... The shock off a Yamaha YZ-250F will fit (same length), but requires modification of the exhaust to clear the reservoir

Also, from page 2: "a 96 Suzuki RMX 250 shock will also fit, but also needs work to the exhaust to fit..."

That's all the work I'm putting in for ya

Why does it need front shocks (forks)? Surely they could be brought back to life with a service...

Yeah im gonna give Hoey a call this week Tom has them rebuilt by them but they were not keen on rebuilding china shocks, ill give them a call and see what they say, its $240 for a new pair.

I was looking on the atomik website and they have everything i need on there are are very cheap also, just a lil worried about quality, my mate has a 2011 blitz and i have to say the quality is rubbisah compared to the 2008 model ill get some pics of its current state =)

 

[Sneezy]

pic of it a few months ago =)

 

[Sneezy]

Ok well i have priced up all the parts to get this running, and it gonna be over $600, suggestions? should i fix it? or just retire it and leave it be?

 

[Sneezy]

all good, the wife said we can use the tax cash to fix it up wooot =)

Hi guys,

I have the 2010 atomik blitz and wanted to check if its the same as the 08 with the yz shock and linkage will bolt on??

Thanks

 

[Sneezy]

From looking at what Tom did with the blitz the rear shock doea not bolt on. From the looks of it he welded another bracket on there I'll take pics tomorrow mate

 

[fenno]

Cheers mate,

Ill check in tomorrow to look at the pics

 

[Sneezy]

Thumps blitz is now retired, yellow plastics are back on and its a nice ornament in the shed =)

[Sneezy]
