[hondarules]

I hope you are joking :ermm:

hahahah

If they need some "air" I would recommend going to ur nearest dealership and having them put some gas in them. It's not just "air".


Also, go punch that guy in the face.:rolleyes:

Do not let the "air" out of your shocks. That is accually Nitrogen. Go to the dealer and have them fill ththe shocks back up.

That was a GREAT laugh on my way to work!!

i just had to brush myself off from rolling around on the floor.

your 'buddy' either got you really good on that one. or he is a flippin' moron. get them charged back up and then smack your buddy upside the head.

[tltcracing]

i could see how that might work...but only you ride it on the road all day and really dont even need shocks. i think taking the nitro out of it will take all the dampining out of the shock so it will feel like a cadie, super smooth untill the bumps are over two inches high.

[hondarules]

well the ride wasnt that bad it any except for jumps..it was smoother i guess cause there wasnt really any rebound in the shocks..im glad everybody got a good kick out of it lol

you've probably damaged your shocks

[ckasper18]

Yes i would have the shocks rebuilt seal head and new oil.

[crablaster]

i would get those shocks redone adn then punch your friend in the face for being so stupid. JUSt wondering what does your friend ride and is he any good?

[mx1791]

or you can just take your broken shocks and shove them up your friends a**, make him lick them clean, and if he has a quad, destroy that too, so he cries:grr: . well at least thats wut id do couse i cant afford to get shocks rebuilt. next time, dont listen to this guy

ahahah, yea i kno that was extreme, i was in a bad mood last night, but id be that mad if someone told me to do that, id be mad at myself for listening too

[QuadJunkies]

Id be mad too...

Next time ,ask someone who has some experience before going out and doing it. Or at least, make a few phone calls and ask the experts.:o


Your all right about one thing though, this guy needs an @$$ kickin!

[firefighterjosh]

If it makes you feel better I just bought my Tripple Rate works with rezzies. I in stalled them on the banshee and I loved them. I went inside to wash up. My dad comes in. " Hey josh, how much PSI goes into your air chamber of your shocks?, I was messing with it and let the air out" I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOO you are a retard dad. lol

[mx1791]

r u serious, that sucks

[DirtDevilBT]

:rolleyes:

Hey Hondarules, just take the shock over to the dealership or some place they do nitrogen recharging. They will fill them back up to proper psi. Take them for a ride and then make the judgement as to whether something bad happened to them. Don't jump two spaces and have them worked on.

I had to reposition the hose on my Elka rezzy and that took empting the air. Taking it in tomorrow to have a place fill it back to the 175psi it should be at. Cost me about 35 bucks is what they say.

The quad sits low right now. Mainly you can feel a difference in compression. I couldn't push down on the bike before and now it goes down much easier, without messing with it too much that's where I stopped. The gas is put behind the compresion valve in the rezzy, therefore it most likely affects the compression, making it smoother, but bottom out on jumps. Without compression, you rely on spring tension only.
