Hey guys i bottomed out my suspention and the reservoir to the rear suspention's bolt got knocked lose and a lot of oil shot outta it....what do i need to do to fix it??? do i need a special tool to pressurize the oil in there?? or can i just dump oil in the banjo fitting and bleed out the air somehow??? need help fast i think my dad might try somethin and mess things up....also if i want to get more pressure in shock u cant do that with air compressor right?? cus that has water in the air and that would mess things up.....HELP FAST!!!!!!!!!! thx guys!!!!!!!!

 

For one you need shock oil and two, shocks are charged with nitrogen ~175 psi not compressed air. I don't think it matters what you dad does, cause the only way to fix it correctly is have a professional do the work. You can get a shock rebuilt for 100 bucks, and often get one revalved for 175.

 

Well....wut he thinks is that we can get the oil into the reservoir by bleeding it into there....but im tryin to tell him that the oil is compressed in there...is that right??? and the nitro in the shock HAS TO BE NITRO because of air havin water in it...is that not wrong also????? Ill show him that post and TRY to talk him into it....the reason he doesnt wanna take it in tho is because weve had some bad xperiences with ALL of the ATV dealer/repair shops....even the ones that rnt dealers and ONLY repair.....they r all dicks and cant find ne thing else....thx

 

The schrader valve on the shock resivoir is strictly for nitrogen, you can't add oil there because the rezzie acts as a seperator of the oil and nitrogen. If the shock didn't have a remote resevior then it might be plausible.

 

You need someone that specializes in mx/atv suspension, regular mechanics don't rebuild shocks. It has to be disassembled, seals and oil replaced and recharged.

 

Ok...about how much do u think that would cost?? i know that first guy that posted said about $100 does that sound about rite to every1??? thats about how much i would be willing to pay....also how would i find a local suspension xpert??? would it be in tha fone book or should i ask around?!?!?!?...thx for all of your help guys....i alwayz come here first when i have a prob/question about quads....

 

You won't know how much it will cost until they pull it apart and find out what's wrong with it. $100 bucks is about right if everything is ok inside, if the shaft is scratched it could be twice that. I've heard mxtech is a good shop, but I had Elka rebuild mine.

 

alright soo....ru sayin like im gonna have to send it in to someone???? i wont just find like somoene local that can do it???
