woops sounds like you broke it

turbo help me more out

I assume you mean the low-speed compression adjustment. You've removed it from it's position internally. Take your shock into a professional shop and have it rebuilt. It should only cost you about $150-180 or so pending you don't need any parts. good luck...

Go to a decent suspension place and get it set up for your weight and riding style while they have it apart - best thing you'll ever do.

Terry Hays in NSW comes highly recommended:

I use Krooz Tune here in Melbourne and they have been great. They rebuild a shock for about $200.

Excellent. Regardless, it's gonna need a rebuild to replace that part. Bummer.

That price sounds pretty good actually. I can't get less than AU$200 down here in Melbourne.

You might as well go for it. Whatever you get done will be cheaper than a new shock unless you can find one on ebay. Those sort of things are rare in Oz though unless you want to source from the US.

Noticed this 450X shock on ebay.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA-CRF450-CRF-450-CRF450X-X-SHOCK_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a552Q7c39Q3a1Q7c66Q3a1Q7c65Q3a12Q7c240Q3a1318QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem160272860918QQitemZ160272860918
