I know you did this two years ago, but thanks very much. You’re the first person I’ve ever see show me nitrogen and how are you apply?

@huskynick7562 2 года назад

Every repair shop I’ve been to has had something negative to say about the previous shops I’ve been to…where I am it’s a small community of reliable repair shops and I try to support the ones I trust the most, but lately I’ve been tackling even the most daunting jobs which I’d never consider in the past by first educating myself through people like Morgan and the content they put out…we’ll done! If I were in your area I’d be a customer for sure…

@highlandcycles 2 года назад

Thank you so much.

@Grant3758 2 года назад

Oh hell yeah. I have this bike and just rebuild my forks with gold valves and was intimidated in doing the shocks and here we are. Thanks man!

@highlandcycles 2 года назад

Awesome

@randytidwell5836 Год назад

you are absolutely right about the foaming and i seen the video you are talking about, lol. thats one reason the shock needs to be under pressure to keep it from foaming and why you cant run shock oil in forks. you do some really great videos.

Thanks man

Kicking the ass Morgan. Nice work. DIY all the way.

@petermoss4824 Год назад

i like this one ..... filling from the compression port ..... i'm about to try it .... there are alotta vids on this, and most of them are from monkeezzz ...... the race tech thing of doing it upside down looks good, but this still is better, u can't argue w/physics ..... will report back

@Danman1972 2 года назад

You might mention that before you take the shock off you can measure the length its set at. That when you can match it putting it back on to get the sag correct or at least really close.

@highlandcycles 2 года назад

Great point.

@cnosigamer 2 года назад

I love tech videos just like this one

@highlandcycles 2 года назад

@brantmcfarland517 2 года назад

You made it look ez. When I worked in the bike shop’s we just never did anything like that. I personally don’t keep a bike long enough to where one out. lol. I did buy an XR500R way back in the day that had a bad rear shock and I just bought a new one from progressive suspension. In fact I’m in the process of trading in my 2020 DRZ 400 with only 4K on it for a new Husqvarna 701 Enduro right now so in April I be on a husqvarna. Lol thanks for sharing my friend.

I built my vacuum bleeder for probably less than $150 its a very simple and effective tool

@highlandcycles 2 года назад

I am thinking about doing that but I really don’t feel the need too much.

@barswapmedia 2 года назад

@highlandcycles I'm always surprised how much air comes out of oil when you put it under vacuum because of dissolved air inside the oil that you can't see.

@bradenbart9309 Год назад

That foam is nitrogen mixed with the oil as the rubber bladder is micro pours. Reason why service schedule is short with bladders compared to stock piston so they say.

@derrickredlin 3 месяца назад

It's absolutely true. Bladder res works for about 2-3 months before substantial gas leakage. Piston shock works for about 12-15 months. 433% increase in service life. Replace and grease a new o-ring, install it properly, friction is virtually undetectable, and you just gained a year of proper damping performance

@phantomsky8592 Год назад

So, im in the process of doing this with a stock WP shock with the piston still. So, when I first started bleeding it with the cup I had a ton of big bubbles come out and the piston would skip a little when I would start the down stroke. No biggie I thought...its my first time trying this so I figured I just didnt do the first steps very well and kept pumping. After about a half hour of pumping eventually everything seemed smooth and no more bubbles where coming out but when I took the shock out of the vice and tipped it straight up it seemed like it may have sucked a air pocket in through the cup and I would have to start the whole process over. I think im on my 3rd attempt now... not sure if im doing something wrong or if I just have a ton of air hiding in it somewhere still.

@highlandcycles Год назад

Not sure.

@phantomsky8592 Год назад

@@highlandcycles Found out you can suck in air past the seal head if you push the shaft really hard with no nitrogen pressure in the canister. Bikes all back together now and feeling fresh.

@billwiernicki3364 5 месяцев назад

I noticed in a more recent vid you pre filled the shock body first and did not fill through the high speed . Is one way perferred over the other ?

@highlandcycles 5 месяцев назад

I like filling the body first. The other way works too. I feel like you have to bleed less when you do the body first.

@offroadrepairman 2 года назад

I built a vacuum pump tool using a cheep ac vac pump.

@davidvincent1101 Год назад

Hey Morgan thanks for the vids. Where can I buy the oil seal and dust cover ? Thanks

@highlandcycles Год назад

Check out SDI

@davidvincent1101 Год назад

Thanks for the information Morgan. Hope your having a great weekend

@zlatomirkolev9762 Год назад

Hello, What type of seal are you using, is it regular V seal and also What material NBR or Viton?

@highlandcycles Год назад

We use either stock KYB (which fit the WP or the Viton ones from SDI

@stevenmcilwrath5371 2 года назад

Is it still possible to bleed a wp shock this way that hasn't had a bladder kit fitted? I've always been under the impression the standard shock with the piston needed the bleed machine?

@highlandcycles 2 года назад

Yes you can bleed a stock one this way. You just have to set the piston height afterwards

@elkku2934 9 месяцев назад

Hey, do you know where can i get that thing on the needle so i can pump it with a normal pump?

@highlandcycles 9 месяцев назад

We built that from normal fittings

@paulsladinski1236 2 года назад

Got a stupid question..when shock is mounted..tighten to spec ..should there be any play or more like side to side wiggle in top hem joint/ bearing ? I have absolutely no up and down..but shock up top has wiggle..like it is tight and not clunky...but floating..if that make sense??

@hawiehawhaw Год назад

Air has to come in somehow to create foam right? Is it possible a leaky bladder causes the oil to foam up? Or does this happen on stock shocks too? If so would the air most likely get sucked in through a bad shock seal?

@highlandcycles Год назад

It can be a few different things. Bladders will let nitrogen through slowly but so will the o rings on a piston style. The moral of the story (that I should have mentioned in the video) is that you need to service your suspension more often.

@husaislander4838 2 года назад

Have you tried the orange locite? It holds like red but breaks like blue

@highlandcycles 2 года назад

No. Will have to look into it.

@freetaylor72 2 года назад

Hey how much do you charge to rebuild a rear shock

@highlandcycles 2 года назад

1.5 hrs plus parts. We are 90/hr

@painsrides3616 2 года назад

Even though I do as most of my own work, I don't have the facilities or equipment to deal with suspension. Luckily we have a local guy that does suspension service as a side business.... He's got a vacuum bleeder, a parts cleaner and N2 in the shop.

@highlandcycles 2 года назад

Perfect

@200xcBruce 2 года назад

OOOOps may want to remove other tuners stickers before disassembling LOL oh well.

@highlandcycles 2 года назад

Hahaha might have been on purpose

@200xcBruce 2 года назад

Maybe show orientation of the seals closely, not all know which way they should be installed. None of the dealers here will charge a shock unless they worked on it. imagine it is a liability or a money grab thing.

@highlandcycles 2 года назад

Good idea. It’s a money thing and pride thing.

@ryanp9084 2 года назад

The seal head moves in and out some when cycling the shock during bleeding, is this normal?

@highlandcycles 2 года назад

Yes. As long as you finish with the shaft all the way out and fill the cup it will be good.

@ivanrybkin9384 2 года назад

it looks that when you were bleeding it through the pot at an angle, the bolt hole was not the Most Upper pain t in the system and air pocket could have stayed in the reservoir above bladder.

@highlandcycles 2 года назад

It seems that way but the only place it can hide is up in that little spot. By forcing the piston in and out a bunch and hard, you force that out.

@ivanrybkin9384 2 года назад

@@highlandcycles ok, I believe you, as otherwise these trapped bubbles would quickly deteriorate shock performance
