Very good video! I swear I was watching myself 20 years ago haha. I like the knowledge demonstrated. Without this info you really don't know what you're doing with these. I'm about to buy some gen 2's. Any advice?

So on my 2003 Honda cr80rb I was out riding and towards the end of the ride the shocks got really really soft, so me being stupid I thought the valve stem was a bleeder valve but it felt like it was sucking in air once I had pushed the valve in it felt stiff again but the next time I took the bike out it felt like there was no dampening at all there is no negative or positive pressure in the nitrogen reservoir so I'm wondering if I have both a nitrogen and oil problem.
@maultechatv7494 ай бұрын
The purpose of the nitrogen is to create a pressure on the oil in the shock body. With out this as the shock travels through its up and down motion it will create a air pocket around the piston and valving resulting in a loss of dampening. Most offroad motorcycles need to have 150-175psi of nitrogen in the nitrogen chamber. If it feels like a pogo stick you have air trapped in with the oil. It needs pulled apart bleed properly and refilled with proper amount of nitrogen. Thanks

The EVOL chamber makes the air spring LESS progressive by in effect making the air chamber BIGGER when engaged.

@drewcox2422 Жыл бұрын
Good a little more firm than stock. Which was needed for this application. More aggressive riding style. Also the added travel is very nice. It soaked up that much more of the bump.

also... what exactly is a "hand dyno"
@alexbunyan59732 жыл бұрын
HAHAH. there are so many variables that come into play... 1. i have no idea what setting that shock is on. 2. what weight of oil. 3. They are designed with spring tension in consideration. 4. A spring takes the brunt of an impact, the shock controls the natural forces created by a compressed coil and makes it manageable. 5. This video literally proves nothing other than you turned a can crusher into a can crusher with a (strut)(dampening device) (.... screen door piston... minds well be). NO PEP let alone any brand would move as freely as the pep without some sort of internal damage " valves", extremely light weight oil, no oil. quit throwing trash misinformation

Brake dive is significantly improved. The feel is more form than stock, especially for the first 1000 miles or so. They are much more consistent than the stock set up, and have substantially better road feel than stock.

@@davidwilley4524 no sir the Fox springs were 100% good to go, it absolutely was NOT different lengths. The shop I worked with couldn’t have done a worse job. Took them 3 days to remove and replace my front suspension. I had a scheduled appointment, my bike hit there lift 10 minutes after I pulled up. I know this shop on a personal basis. 3 days to install forks(I had to assist….a lot), 20 minutes into the service my ST front fender was dropped and the paint was destroyed, and that was right after I gave the guys in the shop some local catfish to fry. I always try to butter up the tech that is working on my bike. Got to make it feel more personal to ensure a good service, but it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve had $2,000 worth of free services in 2024 due to shops causing damages. Local Harley dealer damaged my rear wheel installing a new tire. How does that chopped front fender on the ST get dropped, I can hold it with 1 finger, & it was the first step for this service. (Remove front fender, set aside & reinstall once service is completed). Even still, I was very nice about the whole thing, and recommended that I pay full price for the service. Which I did, then I basically had to beg them to fix the paint on the fender. This shop is for the white collars of the motorcycle community, haven’t left a review about my experience, wanted to see if they would make up for anything. Let’s just say I used to go in the owners office just to chat, now I don’t step foot near that place.

my sons xr 250 feels to have no dampening in the rear shock. you can just feel the spring and bounce it.....so im guessing that resembles the same problem in the latter part of this video....oil leaked out due to bad seal most likely correct? Is this something I can rebuild myself, or does it have to be sent to someone for repairs>
