Just found this vid after I had already started taking my shock apart. You said to check the action of the shock after the spring is removed. I just checked and had no rebound. I already let the air out of the shock though, so does that make a difference? What could be wrong?

I’ve got a horror story which led me to this video. I did it just as you described there but either got hydraulic lock or the valving wasn’t opening at all. A YZ 85 shock that was pretty frozen would only move a couple inches. Nearly a liter of oil ended up on me, the ceiling, a shelf with electronics, and my garage floor.

I recently landed flat and cased a jump a few times because it was my first time hitting bigger jumps. I had my compression adjuster all most on the stiffest setting because I like stiffer suspension, but the next day I noticed that my shock felt like the compression adjuster was set to the softest setting but when I checked, it was still set to the stiffest setting. The compression adjuster still clicks when I turn it and it feels completely normal but no matter what setting I put it on, it does nothing. Before this the stiffest setting would only sag like 10%, but now it sags about 30%, as if it’s set to softest setting. Rebound also feels completely normal. Can anyone tell me what’s wrong and how can I fix it?

No vacuum bleeder? You never mentioned to check the piston ring. Otherwise a very good teaching video personally i like to hone the damperbody and the piston very gentle.

I was just told by a Penske tech that a shock with an external gas canister will not rebound once compressed, but a shock that gas inside the body will rebound.

Followed these steps and got it regased but they said it had alot of air still in the oil ! .BUT some shocks have bleed screws and other adapters to bleed it 100% unfortunately they don't tell you in this video .

DO NOT HAMMER DOWN BLADDER!! Use a socket or seal head driver to push it down. Also you missed 2 bushings that needed to be replaced.

The guides are downright great! I have a great request. I have a 2008 R1200 (0303) with a Showa rear shock with preload adjustment knob on the damper, no reservoir. I have a gasket and bushing overhaul kit purchased. The shock absorber has been removed. Please advise on how to revitalise such a shock absorber. Please give me a quick tip on how to remove the adjuster with knob and the spring. I think I can handle the rest. A video is of course welcome. The manufacturer claims that this is not repairable, and digging through YT has not resulted. This is a shock I have. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNB0rbJ4z8fcY6c.html

mistake dont do that if you do not know how to service it just get it to someone who knows how to handle these shocks, or just sell of the bike. the rear shock holds majority of the weight of the dirt bike engine chassis subframe etc. and no one will ever buy broken dirt bikes especially in places broken in the engine or chassis
