Gas charged shocks also create some lift. More than expected.
This is correct. There is 300 lbs of pressure in that shock. It holds alot of the load.
Yours would have been out-of-control if the gas was gone. Too light and skis in the air. I don't think it was your problem unless it was the fron skid shock.
Guy who bought said the shock had to be replaced.
How many shocks have you rebuilt?
That's all that matters. Doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.
Just as I thought. I've already posted the correct pressure. I'll leave it at that.
Is your Harley fast too?
. . Definately more power than this 55 year old needs.. Coming off a 2018 165 G4, full helium kit, full dyno port exhaust, sled head clutching and a few other goodies that sled ran flawless. All I can say is this new turbo is dialed. The ride is smoother, it is just as easy to put on edge as the t motion sled. I am shocked on how seamless the power comes on, no lag at all. The only things I could criticize right now is the engagement is too high and when going down hill the hold back is not strong enough, going to have to get some SHR clutching. I think with us older guys getting the extra power of this will make us more tired until we get use to it. I love this thing!!!
That milwaukee eight 107 definitely sends it down the road.
My gauges won't measure the existing pressure in a shock, as I lose over 30% when I connect the gauge. I can only guess at what the pressure was based on what my gauge shows. I can only accurately measure the amount of nitrogen that I install in a shock. In a skidoo shock, it's 300 lbs.
