Can anyone tell me why a 85 250r shock has less nitrogen than a 86 250r shock? My supposedly NOS shock is a 85 and I have an 86 trike and it has a little spot at the top of the stroke where it has no damping and tops out. The damping is fine throughout the rest of its travel though. Would it possibly be low nitrogen charge? I would really appreciate some input, cause I really dont wnat to rebuild a NOS shock. Thanks

I'd bet the oil is low. I only run 160psi in my aftermarket shocks so low pressure should have nothing to do with it.
