NITROGEN SHOCK GAUGE AND FILLER P/N 08-0072
The Motion Pro Shock Gauge is designed to accurately fill gas charged shocks. This shock
gauge is designed to be used in conjunction with a nitrogen tank, regulator, hose and filler chuck
(NOT INCLUDED).
WARNING!
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN GREAT
BODILY HARM AND OR DEATH!
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU REGULATE THE NITROGEN PRESSURE FROM
THE TANK DOWN TO A SAFE PRESSURE UNDER 300 PSI! NEVER APPLY
FULL TANK PRESSURE TO THIS TOOL! Wear eye protection to prevent eye
injury from escaping gas and/or metal chips. We recommend that a
qualified mechanic in a properly equipped shop perform this procedure.
CAUTION!
Always follow shock manufacturers instructions and only fill to their
recommended pressure.
1. Support the motorcycle securely on a stand with the rear wheel off the ground.
2. Remove the Schrader valve cap from the shock. Bleed off any nitrogen pressure remaining
in the shock reservoir.
3. Lightly turn T-handle valve counter-clockwise to stop. Next, connect T-handle valve to
Schrader valve on shock. Tighten T-handle valve very lightly with 11/16” wrench to insure
good seal.
4. Turn T-handle valve clockwise while nitrogen pressure from tank is being applied to Motion
Pro gauge. A slight deflection of the Motion Pro gauge needle will occur when the T-handle
valve has opened the shock Schrader valve.
5. Wait a few seconds, and then lightly turn the T-handle valve counter-clock wise to stop.
Remove nitrogen tank hose from Motion Pro gauge. Bleed pressure from Motion Pro gauge
by depressing bleeder valve button. Motion Pro gauge may safely be removed from shock
now. Replace Schrader valve cap on shock.
NOTE: On some Showa shocks the Schrader valve extension (#08-0132) is required. This
extension is included with the Motion Pro Shock Gauge # 08-0072.
On some Yamaha and Ohlins shocks, there is a self sealing rubber valve. The Motion
Pro Nitrogen Needle (#08-0075) is required to pressurize these shocks. The nitrogen
needle is sold separately.
