Very cool and low mess 👍👍👍👍

[@unclematt7223]

Do you use this method with bladders as well? Or just follow your bladder video?

[@mastermototecnica]

Is this tank a faucet water filter? could teach how to manufacture such a tool.

[@daleduke3934]

Thanks!!!

[@blarpieman]

Brad, do you have exact piston heights for both linkage and xplor pds shocks handy (The length from the bottom to the base of the piston) and torque spec for shock bolt. Thanks! Great video.

[@dianabady594]

I've just built a vacuum bleeder and seem to be having an issue with the vacuum pump,could you possibly let me know the features of it?Thank you

[@lorenzogioielli1086]

I just received your shock bleeder and it looks to be a very nice tool. It looks like in this video that the vacuum line is hooked up on the left side of the bleeder but mine has the air compressor quick connection on that side. Has there been a change since this video was made. Thanks.

[@dezertXer]

Lorenzo Gioielli you can swap them if you like, it does not make a difference which goes to which side.

[@lorenzogioielli1086]

dezertXer ok thanks.

KTMLEw here...I started with resi piston bottomed ^toward adjuster^ and bolt in. This traps some air UNDER piston so you get positive flow across comp adjuster. Every time you push oil in the resi piston moves/resists. THAT helps keep the oil from foaming. I also would like to know how/why the huck valve could have any influence on shaft movement? Seems to me something is binding. I did set my piston height same way though.

[@dezertXer]

I'm not sure about the huck valve, may or may not be the culprit. the shock huck has a female cup thing that mounts at the top of the shock body and may have some impact or their aftermarket shaft. Not really sure. Doesn't matter though, some TTX shock do the same thing. I like the idea of bottoming out the piston down then capping it off to keep it down while bleeding. Letting the piston move while bleeding slows the shaft movements also since now both pistons are moving at once. I will have to make a new video and make sure my shaft moves. Nothing gets by you guys!

[@Dave-xe4tf]

Do you still make these?

[@Brucecoetzee]

HI Sir. I have a ktm duke 390 with the wp monoshock oil leakage? could you please upload a video on how to repair one of those? If not thanks anyway.

[@moto367]

At 3:30, when you pulled your second vacuum, shouldn't the shock shaft compressed into the shock body?

[@dezertXer]

yes, normally they do. this shock has a huck valve in and sticks. I didn't notice this while I was filming. But it really doesn't matter. As long as you finish it off by hand and rid the shock of bubbles it's good to go.

[@GixxerDaveNeo]

Is not the last step to add nitrogen to the shock? Great video though, thanks!

[@bradspaugh9827]

GixxerDaveNeo yes you need to add nitrogen. I didnt show it in the video but yes it has to be done before using the shock.

[@kevintraynor7953]

hi brad i sent payment for a shock bleeder kit and 2 other items on the 12/11/17 just wondering if you could confirm many thanks

[@dezertXer]

kevin traynor you can email me at [e-mail] but yes I have your order. Thanks!
