How do you rebuild a KTM shock? 

Love the vids Morgan, I look forward to watching them every night!

Cool video! DRC Hardware sells a cool bleeder cup makes bleeding super EZ. Probably be worth it for someone like you who does this all the time!

If you just pressurized the bladder with line pressure you can do all you bleeding from the seal head side. When your done you can remove the nitrogen and install the seal head. Let oil over flow. The seal head will displace the oil and push the piston where it needs to be. Then pressurize. Or you can get a shock vacuum pump/bleeder.

I feel like I spy the fancy tool for that behind you while your saying that! 😄

Ma man!!!🤘🤘 Totally doing that this week.... Need to do a AER fork vid to!!!👊👊👊

Thanks Morgan!

🛑 Use a zip tie to hold the cap out of the way boss 👍🏻

You skipped over reinstalling the compression adjuster, how do you install it without getting air into the system?

Can i bleed my ktm 125 sx 2021 rear xact shock the same way as u do in this video?

Need help here, can we replace bump without messing the nitrogen. Or change oil without touching the nitrogen side. Appreciate it, excellent work man.

Thank you for your very helpful videos much appreciated. I want to lower my Ktm 1090r without effecting the shock stroke length by fitting a reduced length bottom rod end.Firstly can you please advise if such an item can be purchased and secondly can you please advise disassembly and reassembly procedure without damaging the bottom rebound adjuster mechanism. Thanking you in advance . Sam

Love your videos, good work. Can you give part number for those rubber air valves? Would they work for most shocks?

hey Morgan i'm in need of one of these, can u send me a link or part # that i can get one assap?

Sweet vid.... My Ricor shock for my KLR died over winter & cant find any rebuild kits for it / dealer wants to sell me a factory shock.....

My rear shock (12187L6701) on the TM- the foam buffer has degraded due to high humidity where I cam located - is this easy to replace - shock appears to be operating fine and no visual problems other than the buffer

It might be a silly question but how do you set the 10mm piston in the reservoir?

Hmm...at 11:30, before you flipped it over, I noticed the oil was topped off, but it didn't spill. What's the magic?

😊Hi I want to replace only the bump stop,does it possible to change by dismantling rebound side pivot set without removing the damper seals, Kindly suggest me a best way. Thanks

Could you make a video on setting the piston height

Isn’t Brady an okie? Are you in Colorado amigo? Right on

Morgan, I am going to add the SDI bladder when I service my shock. At what point of the service would you replace the canister/bladder? Mainly I am curious for bleeding purposes.

Were you finding the 18mm shock seal please give me the link..thanks

Great video, do you know for this shock if the compression clickers are backed out all the way “soft” and the rebound being turned in all the way “hard” would the shaft not rebound out after being compressed? Or should the shaft still rebound out even though the rebound clickers are turned in all the way? Thank you

Do you know any method of purging the shock absorber without having to use a vacuum device, it would be of great help, I await your clarification, greetings.

At 13:17 you said you set the piston height to 10mm. That was cut out of the video though. How did you do that? I can’t find any other videos that have a factory shock. They all seem to have a bladder kit in them.

Hello, I have a question. What would happen if i put normal Air in the Shock "container". Air conists to 80% out of nitrogen so i'm asking myself if it would be possible? Would it cause problems?

You really need some one to hold that cam to show better what your doing 😂

Looking forward to watch more learning videos Morgan. Where did you buy the bladder bolt with rubber gasket?

Great video as always. What kinda of container and fluid are you using to clean parts?

What oil do you put in the shock? Is it 2.5w or 5w?

Where do you get that bolt you used to fill the nitrogen ?

How many Ml of 3w maxima you put ?

Hey on my 2001 KTM 300EXC my KTM dealer installed a 1 inch longer bump stop during rebuild telling me it has compression characteristics that equal the shorter OEM bump stop that is no longer available . I am thinking of trimming it to the stock bump stop length as hard to believe . Ever seen this ? Wondering if I should trim especially since about to ride some fast , deep sand whoops and dont want less rear wheel travel .

Why did you suggest adding a bladder? Curious about the SDI kit for my TE300i

Y not use the bolt on the back to bleed ?? Am about to do mine and am wondering whats the best way

At the end you refill it with nitrogen? Where can i get that or let it refill?😅 Thanks✌🏼

Piston height is 10mm down from the bleed hole? And do you set it with the shock shaft extended all the way or pushed in? Thanks Morgan

Is there anything different with this shock vs the Super Duke R? Looks similar to my friend’s that has lost all damping controls.

Will the Nitrogen Needle type work on a 2011 XC-W?

Are you using Maxima 3w oil in this shocks? Thanks.

How do you get the bushing out and the new one installed that you're talking about at 4:55??

How different is the process for a 200 EXC 2000?

how did you set the piston height at 10mm

I have one problem need your advice. Before that, I own Duke 390 2017 (new model). My problem regarding fork, one side fork had leaking and I do servicing and change new seal both sides. New fork oil used Fuchs Silkolene RSF5, and filled 450ml. The problem is, after finish install all and test ride and do hard front breaking.. the fork go down as normal but didn't rebound as normal before. Only rebound around 10 to 20 mm. Only can rebound more when I open throttle / accelerate more. After I ride more than 4500km, that fork still same. At entering corering I fill hard that fork, some time have small jerk at fornt. After that I change new oil but after that still same. Method 1st replace, that fork was dismantle all part inside (rebuild), cleaning and install back together with new seal. The oil filling from the top capping. 2nd just pour out the old oil from top capping and filling back from top capping. Also 450ml with same brand and spec. So I don't know what the real problem. Wrong method during filling the oil or what. Really need your help to advice me. Thank you

Man, you skipped the part I needed to see about the little aluminum cover at the bottom of the shock body with the holes in it. My buddy’s bike had that cover pop off and fluid’s dripping out. I can’t see a snap ring/circlip in there at all.

name or code of the bolt with nitrogen refill hole?

Hey Morgan. How are you removing the bushing inside the seal head?

The advised bleeding process is just awfull...use a shock bleeder

hey Morgan i'm in need of one of these, can u send me a link or part # that i can get one assap?
