Rear shock

Plump Kibbles · 11-12-2020, 03:15 PM

Does anyone have a Nitrogen filled rear shock?? Was going to pick up a shock pump; but now I'm not sure due to 1: the Nitrogen, and 2: the pressure. I'm not sure how to go about checking the pressure either - as to not let any out in the process.

Does anyone else have Nitrogen??

I was going to play around to see if I can get the compression a little softer. I'm noticing on a pretty bumpy surface I'm a little spring-boardy. I did get the spring tension where it's noticeably better for now though.

Sorry for all the threads everyone - I know that gets kind of annoying, from me. But, none of my bike matches the Hawks - and of course I cannot find another person with my bike so.. and the manual doesn't even have technical data - has torque specs. But not anything for PSI for rear shock. I don't have clickers on either front or rear suspension as well. Front forks do a have an air bleeder to relieve build up, if any. I'll pop it up on my stand and release the bleeders about every 100mi.

That's a PDF of my manual, just found a copy through google - I have the XB-88 but the DLX version, which isn't mentioned in the book (turn signals, mirrors, light kit).

Anyway - thanks in advance for any advice!
