Hi there I have rebuilt many rear shocks. The main thing is be sure to get the gas charge from a reputable source. The on line Rocky Mountain videos are good. The results are always good. If you dont recharge the gas the adjusters dont work. P.S I have recharged using air which works but is not a long-term solution.@@TheBmx1331

Good video! A couple things I'd like to suggest is replacing the bumper, backing out the clickers, not sure if the book calls for 7 weight but I normally use 2.5 on most dirt bike shocks, and putting the bladder on first, then pumping with air after circlip is installed before putting on the seal head to avoid cavitation and air bubbles.

I’ve got an old 89, with what looks like a similar set up. Mine calls for nitrogen not air, did yours and you just used air instead? Trying to do all this myself and not pay a shop to do it. It being so old it’s fun rebuilding but I am trying to save money where I can and shops cost a lot lol.

I think you did amazing on this build. To me compared to other dirt bikes I've had, seems more complicated with extra parts all over it. Like the goofy compression release. And it's over built. The airbox compared to a mx bike is so heavy it seems structural. Are you adding a key or battery? I could use guidance how to wire for street use

Use a pick and a small screw driver. Place the pick on the edge opposite of the opening in the circlip and put pressure toward the opening this should give you enough space to tilt the circlip vertically then just pull it out.
