    I'm about to do this on my 05 yz250 shock that I'm ashamed to say has never been serviced 😬. I used to be a mechanic so I can usually figure things out pretty well but your videos are definitely good to watch to see how another mechanic goes about different procedures. Especially when the factory manual says not serviceable.

    Do you know if you can replace a needle style reservoir cap with the schrader valve style? My ‘21 yz 450 fx has the puncture type. Figured I’d ask before I order a part.
    Also, are all the parts usually pretty standard? Like the piston band and O-rings behind it? I’ve been rebuilding suspension for a while and might start offering it to people in my area, would be nice to build up a stock of stuff to get things in and out quick.

      Not sure if anyone has that (schrader swap) part but it would be good. I like that better than the needle style. As far as the other stuff. You only need about 3 different setups to cover almost every shock.

      Thanks a lot! I’ve been looking and looking around and no one sells just those seal and oring components. I hate to throughout a perfectly good seal head just to get another one. When I can keep the 3 I have and rebuild them for one of my 5 YZs.

    If I don't have nitrogen then what is the alternative?

      Raw air will work ok. Just expands more when hot

      I have done it both ways and they both work just fine as long as you’re careful and make sure that it seats flush. On this channel I try to show folks how they can do it with the tools they probably have in their garage if possible
