Is the R1 still worth running? i'm looking at leochan's R1 in the for sale forum. what's different from the R1 to the R2? I'd buy the r2 or r3 but it seems no one wants my xray...

When filling the shock body, how far up in the body do you fill??

When inserting the assembled cartridge I see that the piston is up against the cartridge, but how far do you screw the cartridge in as shown in step 4 of the instructions before moving on to step 5

When the shaft is depressed into the body in step 5, I see that its depressed a little more than halfway and there is some bleed off at the oring before moving on th step 6.
Then it looks like you lossen the bleeder screw and depress the shaft almost to the threads..

Once the bleeds stops, tighten it back. You should get a smooth dampening effect when you push the shaft.
Most of the time the bleed screw will bleed eventually even if you tighten it up afterwards.
Either you go for different shocks like TRF, you can replace the black plastic cap with Yokomo SD aluminium cap that comes with a semi transparent rubber diaphragm. Leak proof and it will save you time redoing the schocks in the future.
Just my experience, hope this helps.

72 spur gear for me with between a 26 and 31 pinion depending on which brand 19turn. Running 72 gives you a little room to run lower pinions (mod!) while allowing you to gear up for stock without a spur gear change.
