CH601XL 2003 bungee shock replacement help instructions

Post by klinkllarpt »

I bought the new bungee, but I am a little intimidated by how to take the front landing gear off to replace bungee. I need some video or instructions. I’ve seen a couple but they are rather incomplete on the details. 🤔

Did you try the Zenith Forum? And are you talking about the regular bungee or what Zenith has as a replacement with the disks? My mechanic and I changed out the bungee once but when it came time to replace that one I went with the Viking steel spring replacement. Works great and you never have to change it. Also did not require removal of the struct just cutting off the top.
