Author Message   Drdorsey Posted on Wednesday, July 07, 2010 - 08:24 am:        What is up with the schrader valve on the Showa monoshock? Are you ever supposed to check/adjust the pressure? Couldn’t find anything about it in the shop manual.   Jdugger Posted on Wednesday, July 07, 2010 - 08:36 am:        Most cartridge shocks are charged with nitrogen. A suspension guy will know what to do with that.   Drdorsey Posted on Thursday, July 08, 2010 - 01:55 pm:        Well...I am my suspension guy. LOL What pressure should I expect, not that I have any nitrogen. It seems to me that shock pressuer would be the first place to start when tuning in the suspension in that a change in shock pressure would affect all other adjustments. Kind of like tyre pressure.   Blk09r Posted on Thursday, July 08, 2010 - 03:19 pm:        It's been a while since I rebuilt a shock, but I believe the shock is under pressure to reduce the size of any air bubbles that might be inside. Pressure is not used as a tuning tool. Then again, I could be wrong.
