KYB rear shock pressure

[97tiger885]

I am going to have a local shop top off the gas reservoir on the rear shock from the 97 Tiger before I put it on the 96 Trident.  I want to confirm the psi.

pump that sucker up to 120 psi of air pressure and you will be good to keep riding until you can get it done at a shop or replaced

I cannot tell from the post whether this is the correct  psi or a suggested interim-until-fixed psi.  Anyone want to confirm that 120 is the correct psi for a good shock?

120 was just the suggestion as most home compressors will struggle to get 120 psi

you really want 120 to 150 psi nitrogen............................the more pressure the stiffer it is .

Dealer says to use Pro RSF 5 weight oil and pressurise with Nitrogen to 8.5 - 10 bar.

thats 123 psi-145psi

Thanks for the info.
