Recharging shocks

[killed300ex]

is this something that you can buy a kit for or do i have to leave it to a professional. My shock started to leak were the resevior line meets the shock body it started comeing loose without me noticing and lost quite a bit of fluid. I am wondering if i can fix it myself or how to go about getting it recharged
thanks

November 2001 ATV SPORT had an article on it. they made it sound like anyone could do it, as long as they had connections to nitrogen gas and the valves and stuff.

i would leave it to somebody that knows what there doing

You need to have someone that does suspension fix it for you. If you lost shock oil then you have also sucked in air in its place. You probably didn't loose any nitrogen, just oil because they are seperated by a bladder. Although, when the oil is changed the nitrogen will have to be let out in order to service them. Was the fluid still clear looking or brown to black? If it was dark, then you need a service on your shocks anyways.
