Hi guys
Ive got a xr200 its an 1981 and the rear shock is shot so i had a 86 rear shock for it i just put in today but its not the flashest ether.
I took it out and bleed both the shock and reservoir best I could with new oil and the shock still isnt flashest what have i done wrong??
It does have a valve on the reservoir am I suposta fill that with nitrogen?
Any help appreciated

Yes Nitrogen but the seals are probably stuffed by now.

Best bet would be here as Honda appears not to list them as a seperate part

Turns out i had a spare reservoir floating around so i put that in and finished peacing a shock back together.
In the process of trying to hunt one down ive relized how hard it is to find parts for might be time to start stocking up
