🔧 DR350S Rebuild - ep.18 Rear shock rebuild

Sorry for one month break in posting videos, but we both had a lot of work (new work place) and almost no free time :( I hope it is ok now and we can spend a lot of time for DR and videos now :)
This time we are going to rebuild DR rear shock :)
Process of rebuilding motorcycle rear shock should be also similar in any kind of motorcycle.

Thank you very much. I was always told not to do this. This should be made by experts. Now I will try on my own - I have a spare one to exercise ;-)

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

I think old and simple shocks are much easier to service :) Modern ones, with fully adjustment may not be so simple to service. Luckily we own only old bikes :D

in adding for internal check : there's valves attaching to the piston, these ones got to be checked out, & sometimes replaced. - in the front fork it's the same

Marta, here are great videos and wonderful work!! Very useful and well explained. Congratulations and many thanks.

[@abusaad6562]

Great work, hats off. Abdullah, Pakistan

[@gruntabro1]

Great video you know your stuff ! I’ve rebuild this type of shock and you did it correctly……..but Omg 😳 DONT charge your shock with air ! Bad! Use nitrogen as it’s inert ie it won’t increase in pressure as the shock heats up . Keep up the good work , also a 1989- 1992 RM250 shock will fit and work great with the DR350 , a great way to improve off-road performance cheers 🥂

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Now we have nitrogen charging station so this problem is solved :) Anyway we used just air with shock absorbers for some time (with AT750, XR400 and DR350) without any problems. But the correct way to pump is it with nitrogen :) Thanks for the tip about RM250 shock.

[@RogeyRD250DX]

Well really Marta doesn't know her stuff.( Sorry Marta) Correctly stated -you should never pressurise with AIR. Technically it IS a gas but the hint should be where the manual states GAS not AIR ! I dont think the tyre pressures, seen below would say inflate with Gas and assume people will take that as meaning air.

[@RogeyRD250DX]

Have just seen your 5 months ago reply Dawid & Marta. Yes I've seen others put a little air in but not 140 odd pounds. Air is more dense, I think,so that wouid be way higher pressure than would be safe. There could be a chance of explosion when the shock heats up.(pressire increase dramatically) More likely in hot weather. You could be encouraging others to do the same -resulting in injury or worse. Maybe an update or text added over the video would be wise. Otherwise I enjoy your videos with interest as I have a lovely DR350 SE-x 1999 year. Thanks for reading my concerns here. Regards, Rogey Roger.

[@skualpascal6684]

with air you oxydize oil and parts touching it, but worst is that when getting hot an rear absorber shock (front fork too, but it gets more air flow to cool it) becomes very hot very quick because of hi rate of pumping up and down : so the air volume /pressure dramatically INCREASE :(((

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaa4151]

Go on to Thumper talk, using air instead of Nitrogen has been beat to death, many people have had no issues using air, dont forget the DR350 shock is not a high quality item, & its on a trail bike,,,,, if you were racing a rip snorting race bike flat out you might worry about the gas, but for anything else air is fine.

[@stevetkocz]

Wow thank you for such a detailed guide 👍🏻 I've just got myself a DR350 so will using your guides a lot 😃

You are welcome! Let's hope you will not using it so often, DR350 is pretty solid bike :D

[@arturwictor5412]

You always should diy this experts will damage your shock mostly. Greate video. Shame is not full rebuild where you can mess things up. But with care can be done where most experts don't care. Good luck.

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

When you do something for yourself and you make it wrong, then there is only one person to blame :D So probably you will care more during work. When you send shock to service it is just "another job to do" :)

You are the best . Thanks so much for the video . İt is the same system in my katana . İ was confused about what to do ...

Hi guys! Can you tell me if after putting in the retaining ring inside the main shock when you start pumping to get the air out of the oil does it sometimes push in all the way for some reason it's not locking into place

Ordered kit - GREAT SITE!

[@Sigean11130]

Hi, I don't know if you can help, but at the bottom of the steel fork tubes, inside the tube, there are some aluminuim parts that are free to rotate. Are these "captive" or can they be removed (and if so, how?)?

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

This one kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3ykqJ5pocaAn6s at 4min 00sec (damping rod spacer) or whole damping rod?

[@Sigean11130]

Thanks for the reply, but if you look carefully into the end of the fork tube where the spacer fits, it actually fits inside an aluminium collar which appears to be secured inside the fork tube end. It is the collar assembly that I wish to remove as I intend having my fork tubes replated with hard chrome. I do not know if the collar assembly can be removed - did you remove this part?

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Sorry, we didn't remove this part and I have no idea how to remove it :(

[@arrowtradinginc.3346]

Do I have to complete disassembly the shock to replace the stop bump?

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Hi! Last time we fully rebuilded this shock absorber (seal head oring, compression adjuster orings, oil seal, slide bushing, bump stop, new oil, nitrogen). We installed bump stop when piston was disassembled. For example in Africa Twin 750 you may unscrew bottom mount (stem) and nut (you need heat gun to unscrew nut, it is locked with thread locking fluid). Then you can replace bump stop without complete disassembly.

[@Janchez]

Helpful video, thank you👍

[@johnlandy9662]

Top video! Do you have a link to the repair kit (seals, bushes and "o" rings) Want to have a go at this!

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Sorry, but I have no link. Orings are easy to buy, so it is no problem. The biggest problem is with sealing head - but you can buy AllBalls sealing head kit 40-50$. You need only to know shock body ID and shock shaft OD (14mm in DR350S 1993).

142 psi air or nitrogen for your shock absorber?

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Last time we used air. Now we use nitrogen, but I think there is no big difference :)

[@glenbawndog]

@@DawidMartasMotoAdventures I believe air has moisture content and may cause corrosion. I need to do this with my shock absorber on my dr250r, might just use air. Has the air pressure remained constant or have u had any problems with it ?

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Luckily there are only aluminum parts so I won't corrode :) In Africa Twin 750 there is steel reservoir cap, but there was no sigh on corrosion after 3 years. Of course original cap is zinc plated. Moisture inside air cause bigger thermal expansion (dry air have almost same thermal expanse as pure nitrogen), but I never noticed any difference during normal ridding. Maybe professional riders are able to see difference :)

@@DawidMartasMotoAdventures thanks for ur quick reply. I think i will try air. Easier and cheaper! What viscosity and how much oil did u put on the shock?

Cześć! Proszę Cię o pomoc 😁 czy to, że moja Suzuki jak na nią usiądę nisko stoi jest winą zepsutego amortyzatora, czy sprężyny? Obecnie sprężyna skręcona na max, zawieszenie na soft

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Chyba może być to sprężyna. Może jest za miękka albo już się "uklepała". W serwisówce pisze ile sprężyna powinna mieć dlugości jak leży na stole lub po jakims obciażeniem - nie pamiętam. Generalnie sprężyna odpowiada za to ile zawieszenie się ugnie na wyboju/pod kierownikiem. Jak jest za miękka to na byle wyboju zawieszenie dobije, a jak za twarda to pełny skok zawieszenia nigdy nie będzie w pełni dostępny. Olej głównie tłumi drgania aby nie bujało, regulacja soft/hard pozwala troche regulować, ale jak spreżyna jest zła to żadna regulacja tego nie nadgoni :D.

Tutaj jest super, że ta membrana gumowa jest wkładana w tą stronę.
