I'm in the process of re-building a rear shock off of a 1998 KX125. I need to know how much and what type of oil to put back in it. It is stock and i'm going back stock. Also what psi of nitrogen to refill it? :yeehaw:

It's best to take or send the shock to a professional. Rear shocks can be tricky without the proper equipment. The averager price of getting a rear shock rebuilt is around $150, parts/oil included....

100$ !!

I brother just blew his O Rings and needed the shock rebuilt, the local delership quoted him $400 ! and his bike is currently in there waiting for the parts to come in.
I gotta tell him to shop around and get his bike out of there.

$400.00 is a total joke. Yup, get the bike outta there pronto.
