Great videos! I like how you go really slowly and show every step. Thanks so much.
Thanks! Glad to hear its been helpful.
Very interesting way to change the oil, next shock oil change i'll try this method. Cheers.
Yes Sir! I been doing it like this for years now. I seem to get a better bleed and also less wasted fluid. Also saves time.
Thanks for all the great content. Bought a 2023 YZ250X and your videos have been very useful. Love the YZ... plenty of power and the bikes are affordable compared to the European ones.
Your welcome. Congrats on the 23 YZ250x! Awesome bikes for sure!
Measure spring length before removal then put back together simply wind it down to that length..that's what I do anyway
yes that works too. However during fine tuning I can feel the difference of even a 1/16th of a turn on the spinners. Since I get OCD with it down to the last little bit of fine tuning I try my best to get it as close as I can so I can just service and go back on the track.
Awesome videos you put out , thanks for all the great information
Thanks and your welcome! Appreciate ya!
Off topic but i got my bike rebuilt i was the guy with the 5th gear issue. Bike runs great and 5th doesn't hop now. I believe part of my issue was that one of the primary gear shaft bearings wasn't seated by like an 1/8th of an inch. But i installed all new gears and pinion gears plus reinstalled all transmission bearings. im glad it went so well
So she is finally doing good in all gears! Thats good news
I know who owns that bike!! Good dude for sure!
Yes sir! He's still putting in 2 hours on any track day.
Sounds like he's about to try a FTR too
@@UpAllNight91 that is awesome!!
Right on. Looking forward to having you out there soon too!
@@UpAllNight91 I can't wait!!
Another perfect tutorial video. I do have a question on the nitrogen side, will I get a proper pressure reading without loosening the spring? Or is the spring adding extra pressure to the nitrogen? Thanks again, have a great weekend.👍👍🙂
Thanks, its been a great weekend so far, hope your having a good weekend too. You can check and add nitrogen while the spring in on. You can even check while the shock and spring inls on the bike as long as the bike is on a stand, suspension fully extended. But do not check unless you have the ability to add, because about 5psi is lost by checking. So you will need to add some nitrogen back in.
@@UpAllNight91 👍👍

You really need to take a moment to include your dog if hes a back drop. Do a Wassup with the dog. its a shop dog so we aint scared if hes dirty.
Yup will do. dirty, but healthy and happy shop dogs lol
I put the first 35hrs on that shock. Haha
Should have kept the smoker lol
Can you make a video on how to remove the shock Clevis and how to put it back on? It seems like the clevis has to go back on a certain way so your clicker rod operates properly. Thank you.
Hello. I will next time one comes through that needs to be removed. You are right, they can be tricky and mess up the rebound clicker if done wrong. I will also check with my brother and see if he has a junk shock he wants to donate to science lol
Awsome thank you
@@UpAllNight91 If you're interested i have a shock shaft and clevis that i accidently mushroomed the clicker shaft on that's how i know there must be a certain way to re-install the clevis lol. if you want to fix it for me and make a video about it ill send it to you. because there is not one video out there showing how to do this.
@@justinwisterman55 I dont know if I would be able to fix it, I mean you can mail it and I can try but now that its been removed the best way to get it right would be to have another shock like it to compare it too. When removing the clevis on a shock what I do is measure how far screwed down the clevis is (measuring the whole shaft from the bottom of the clevis to the top of the shaft) and also count how many rebound clicks are available before I remove the clevis. When putting it back together make sure the rebound needle is adjusted out of the way and then screw the clevis back on and lock it in to the same spot it was before removing. The clevis and shock shaft will measure the same and it will have the same amount of rebound clicks when its done right.
@@UpAllNight91 ahhh I see ok sounds good thanks for the reply. Hopefully you have one come in and are able to make a video because there isn’t anything out there showing how to do it.
loosing pressure when you connect pressure gauge
Yes correct. Loose when connection, but doesnt when disconnecting.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. One question, if I am upping my spring rate on a 23 kx450x, are there any other things I should do to the shock while I have it off the bike
You welcome! If the shock is due for a fluid change service then thats all good time to do it. Otherwise just swap the spring and set the sag, she should be good. I have been able to slide the shock up and out of the KX by removing the muffler, unbolting the subframe, pulling the throttle body off the intake boot on the head and just shifting the subframe back a little and twist it to the left of the bike a little Leaving, all wires connected between the subframe and bike. Unbolt the shock and slide up and out while twisting the shock a little.
@UpAllNight91 thanks man! Merry Christmas!
@@uahoe You too!
@@UpAllNight91 just got it off, no problems at all! Again, thanks so much!
@@uahoe Thats awesome news! Thanks for the update
