I got a hyper pro rear spring for my 03 636 rear shock so i got the old rear spring off and i was cleaning the dirt and rubber from burnouts off the shock and out of no where a medal rod shot out of the tube and oil came out. my ? is how much oil needs to go in the rear shock and what kind of oil. help needed. thanks

Sounds like you unthreaded the end off the shaft, which sucks because if you dont hold the end, the inner tube will shoot out because of the oil pressure....

That sucks! especially since you did not have to unthread that end to get the spring off...

Good luck re charging that shock

 

How Else Can You Get The Rear Shock Off?

 

Unscrew the preload collars all the way, compress the spring a little and slip the plate on the bottom out...It has a slot in it, so it can come out without taking the end off...

 

Ok and then how can the spring come off? just slide it over?

 

Once the plate on the bottom is removed the spring can just slide right off....

I'll try and get a pic for you

 

Once you get this bottom retainer off, the spring can just slide right off

 

well wish u would of responded about 2days ago. i posted askin how to do that. well hmm where do i take this to get it recharged and refilled with oil?

 

I are you stupid i told you how it came off 2 days ago, exactly what johnny p told you to do

i didnt understand what you were sayin man thats why i wanted pics

 

can a local bike shop put oil and nitrogen in it?

 

sorry

 

na it aint ur fault... thanks for the help... i just didnt understand it.. but do you guys know if a local bike shop can do that? all i need is for them to charge it back up and put oil in it

 

A good shop should be able to do it, not one that does more lawn moar service then sportbikes. A good shop that does suspension tuning should be able to though....

 

send it to race tech they will hook that shock up!!!!!!!!!

 

we got some local shops here that sell brand new sport bikes and service them so thats waht i was thinkin to take it to

 

The majority of motorcycle dealers and service shops that don't specialize in suspension will not have the proper tools. I wish you would have done this about a month from now. I'm buying a nitro tank hydraulic press, and a few other things to start rebuilding tube frame buell rear shocks.....
