Thanks guys. I got some oil for the shock, and I'm putting it back together, but I can't seem to get all of the air out.
(This is on an '88 200 btw). I hooked the shock body and reservior back together and I filled the shock body up to the circlip that holds the piston/rod assy in, then worked the piston into the body, put the circlip back in, flipped the shock body upside-down and took the banjo bolt that comes from the house out, so that the bolt hole was straight up. I then extended the shock all the way, and filled the body to the top of the bolt hole with oil. Then I re-connected the hose (only hand-tightened the bolt), and filled the reservior with 10psi of air (per the clymer manual) to let excess air/oil out, then torqued the banjo bolt down to spec. I compressed the shock, and I could feel a little air, and then extended the shock and felt air just before it was totally extended. I have since removed the banjo bolt from the shock body, topped off with oil, re-connected, filled with air, torqued down and tested 3 or 4 times, and I can't seem to get that little bit of air out. Is this normal? If it's not, does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or have a tip on how to do this? Thanks!!
