[QUOTE="JH53210, post: 690219, member: 48645"] Hi, A month ago when I was completely ignorant about the suspension on my '90 YZ125, I filled the nitrogen bladder with compressed air, thinking it would make my rear shock stiffer. I realized my mistake a day later and went to let pressure out through the schreader valve, only to have oil squirt out. I was told my nitrogen bladder burst. Also, slowly, shock oil has been leaking past the seal on the end of the shock body down the shaft and off the linkage on to the ground. After about 3 weeks the leaking stopped, so I'm assuming all the oil leaked out. The bike has no damping, it bounces on the spring a lot. (this is a kayaba rear shock.) I haven't touched the bike since this problem sprang up (except when I rode it for like 10 minutes a few days after this first happened) so I was wondering what exactly has to be done to the shock to get it fixed, (like just a new nitrogen bladder, or just a shock rebuild...) and if anyone knows how much it would cost. Some dealer told me a couple hundred, another told me $150. I need to know what exactly needs to be done to get the shock fixed. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. [/QUOTE]
