    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

    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
