Honda CRF300F/250F Vonkat Rear Shock - V1 Edition

Honda CRF300F/250F Lightweight 2-way Adjustable Aluminum Rear Shock
The Vonkat El Jefe 250F shock

ATTENTION - We have qty 1 of this particular shock available.  This is a brand-new shock from Vonkat, but it is the older V1 edition.  The main differences compared with it and the newer V2 versions we offer now are that the spring diameter is larger on this one, which means it cannot be used in combination with our Corona linkage in the HIGH setting.  It will work fine in the other 2 settings though (STD and also LOW).  For most customers, especially those that do not even run our Corona linkage, this will not be an issue - but needs to be clearly pointed out.  We are offering this one shock at a discount, and once it is gone - its gone!  No returns or refunds on this item - all sales are final.  Be assured it is a new shock in all regards in the factory packaging.

This shock is sprung for 170lb to 220lb riders, and through some creative engineering it adds slightly more rear wheel travel than stock while still maintaining the original Honda seat height.

Features:
6061-T6 heat treated and hard coat anodized aluminum shock body
Over 1lb lighter than stock!
Japanese NOK high-quality oil seals
Fuchs brand, premium grade German suspension fluid
Oversized 18mm shock shaft
Longer stroke than stock with no increase in seat height
Internal Floating Piston (IFP) separates the gas/oil to eliminate cavitation
18 clicks of available rebound dampening adjustment
Fully adjustable spring preload via fine threaded aluminum ring and locker
High quality coated spring, rated for a 170lb to 220lb rider
Fully rebuildable
Custom engraved preload spanner wrench included
Designed and Mfg by Vonkat - with USA based, full tech and service support

This shock is amazing!!  Tons and tons of benefits, all for a very reasonable price! 

Offers dramatically improved performance and handling of your bike, plusher response over rough terrain, much better rebound control, increased traction, and holds the bike up higher in its stroke for correct geometry and chassis attitude.

Try it, you will feel the benefits, and your butt will thank you!

Pair this shock with our heavy-duty fork springs for a complete suspension performance package and amazing handling!

Important! - Rebound adjustment is accomplished by turning the brass-colored flat head screw at the bottom of the shock near where it mounts to the suspension linkage.  There are 18 clicks of adjustment available.  The screw should be turned lightly, forcing it past the useable range of adjustment is not recommended.  We recommend starting the rebound adjuster at about 10 clicks out from fully seated position (in) and fine tune from there.  For spring preload to adjust rider sag on this shock for the 250F - you should be running a total of about 3 inches of sag, as compared with having the bike on a stand with the rear wheel unsupported.  Also, do not attempt to turn the screw at the top of the shock that is held in place by a blue locknut.  This is for charging the shock with Nitrogen gas during professional servicing only.

Note: Our Rear Shock Lengthening Clevis is not compatible with this shock (or any other aftermarket shock). 

Note: This V1 shock is NOT compatible with our Corona Lightweight Adjustable Ride Height Linkage in the HIGH position.  It will work fine and is approved for use on the Corona linkage only when run in the LOW or STD positions. 

This shock is fully also compatible with our Bremer Lightweight Billet Shock Linkage.
