This is the best shock rebuild video I've found. I like that you're showing that a bunch of specialty tools aren't required.

Thank you. That was the purpose was to show a regular guy how to do it in their garage ❤

Hey Mr Travis. Don’t know if you still look at comments 8 years later But, I just wanted to thank you for your efforts in making these videos. They’ve been a great help for my son and I. 😊 Thanks!

REALLY! ALL I can say is THANK YOU for a demonstration well done. I am greatful for your expertise and willingness to share. YOU ROCK!!! I'm mechanically inclinded, but your video helped me to understand the nuances involved in the rebuild. Again... THANK YOU!

@tbtracing Thank you for the great vids. I think theres something to be said about shops showing people how to do this work themselves. It shows professionalism, a honest business model and people that just want you to get out there and ride!!! Much love!!

straight forward and most people can do this up to the point of adding nitrogen....That's where the shop comes in...great video

Thanks a ton, great job. The shop wants $160 if I bring them the shock to do it :-) I got this now after watching your outstanding tutorial. And nice shop area too, everything at arms reach and clean and organized as it should be. Thanks again Sir!

When stroking the shock to fill it with oil, should the shock push out on its own or should I have to do it manually by hand?

Is the bladder fully void of air when you bleed the shock this way or do you leave some air in it to prevent full collapse. Thanks so much.

@This0is0pointless10 жыл бұрын
great video, seems more involved then the fork rebuild i just did on my bike, is it possible to change the oil and the seal without releasing the nitrogen charge?
@michail19636 жыл бұрын
This is Pointless sure if you want the oil to burst all around the room and your bladder to explode under 10 bar pressure
@joslinnick2 ай бұрын
Does the KYB shock not require a vacuum pump to extract air from the oil reservoir like the WP shocks?
@tbtracing13082 ай бұрын
The WP doesn’t require a vacuum pump :-) all shocks can be built this way

All of the gas charge is contained inside the bladder and this gas never touches the oil or any metallic surfaces, Air is 80% nitrogen. I find it difficult to believe that a pure nitrogen charge has any significant or noticeable advantage over charging it with DRY compressed air. PV = nRT.
@alanporter95563 жыл бұрын
Nitrogen doesn't expand as it heats up. Using air can cause a bladder rupture at minimum, and in the worst case, an explosion.

You seem very knowledgeable but would be good if camera was closer so we could see better. And dumping shock fluid down the sink is not cool

I do not want to sound clever but this is not a damper rebuld! It is a damperoil change or a simple service! What about checking the damperhead oil seal and bearing whatabout checking the shims for cracks? When i do dampers i check the length of the spring and the settings giving the damper back with the same settings as i got it. You do not fill some air/nitrogen in the bladder when you fill the oil? You look very professional thue.

Actually that's one of the strongest return strokes that I've seen (at 17:12), plus it sounded really good (no rice crispy air sound). I think he's got a pretty good bleed procedure going.
