Default Re: How about a little Shock Building discussion !

The kit destructions show that the pistion should be set about half-way in after bleeding the oil out of the top, is this about right? is this also an adjustment...
anyone :-)
Redbullfixx,

I really like the R2 (or Yok style) kit shocks and have found them very easy to build and get rid of the air bubbles usually on the first attempt.

Anyway, what I did was push the shock shaft almost all the way to the end of it's length and then insert the bleed screw and make sure that it is tight but do not overtighten it. Then pull the shock shaft back to it's original position and cycle it a few times to ensure that the bleeding process was done correctly.

Mike
