[QUOTE="MXTex, post: 328421, member: 17501"] Update. Jer and I spoke this morning and figured out that my servicing technique resulted an oil over-filled shock. What I did wrong was not equalizing the bladder to atmospheric during the final bleed. I did release all the pressure before opening up the bleeder; but the key mistake was not keeping the schroeder open while the bleeder was out. So, per Jer's instruction, I performed the final bleed again. This time I 1st moved the shock through 5 complete strokes then let sit upright for 3 minutes. Then I released the 175psi charge and removed the schroeder valve. Next I removed the bleeder (keeping the shock fully extended) to find that quite a bit of fluid came out with bubbles. Finally, I recharged up to Jer's updated Nitrogen charge spec; 160psi. Should be set to go. Thanks a million for all the help. Jer, I know your intentions and would never be offended by your responses. Thanks for the thought though. :) Jim [/QUOTE]
