Thanks you guys! This was exactly what I was looking for.

Very Helpful, and thorough.

Definitely will help me in the future

Its like rebuilding a Traxxas Big Bore Oil filled shocks. Or some AE RC10T gold shocks.

A DRC Zeta bleed cup makes this job less messy and results in a near perfect bleed

Would it be alright to fill it up from where the shock bladder goes

Buen video felicitaciones una pregunta cuántos psi de nitrogeno llava el shock kayaba?

Dammit man. Forgot the bump stop

Just found that the screw in the compression adjuster is snapped off clean on a bike im building, if i just need to replace the compression adjuster how hard would that be? Im sure I’d have to rebleed the shock but idk the step if there’s already oil in the shock

Depends on how that was snapped off. If someone tried to screw it in too far... then the needle valve is buggered and will probably never work well. If it was screwed out too far, maybe the needle part is ok, you'd still need to look at a diagram and see if it has some kind of stopper/clip/pin to remove. Either way, you'll probably need to drill it carefully and use an easy out (the smallest one you can get) If it was damaged from sliding while dropped, it may be ok to just replace, or it may leak due to the hole being wallowed. It's hard to say much without opening it up and seeing what's wrong.

For the Nitrogen pressure in the rear shock, would the bike manual indicate this, or would I get it from a shock manufacturer? Regards from S Africa Clive

The OEM service manual for you bike should tell you. Some aftermarket manuals won't specify, so in that case you might have to look elsewhere. -Charles

Will the oil on the shock be the same as the oil on the forks

You'll want to check your bikes service manual but most likely your fork and rear shock will at least require different weight oils.

hi , question here. are the oil the same as fork oil? can we just use fork oil? also what will happen if we go with air instead of nitrogen?

Air is more combustible than nitrogen and fork oil is different from shock oil

@@Nisotovski no you cannot you air. If you don’t have a shop near by to fill it with nitrogen call an HVAC and ask them if they will do it for you. But call a dealer, look online and or use a manual that gives you how much nitrogen you should put in it and give that to whoever can fill it for you.

Yes it gets dirty rather quick actually and dirty oil does not work as well and also wears parts out quicker .

Yes, It breaks down over time during use, so just like any other oil, you'll want to change it out periodically. -Charles
