Does anyone know the factory nitrogen PSI on the rear shock or what is the max pressure I can put in? My rear shock is way too soft. I have the spring as tight as it will go and compression full hard. I have a +5 swingarm and want to stiffen it up. I am having nitrogen added this week and don't want to blow out the seals putting too much in.

Any help appreciated.

is it a +5 or a +.5?

You need a stiffer spring and a revalve. Adding Nitrogen is no way to compensate for a +5 swingarm.

It's a +5 inch drag-lite swingarm with the lowering link. All I do is sand race. I will buy new shocks this summer... just want to see if I can stiffen it up some for now.

Thanks
