I replaced the end caps on my Honda pioneer 1000 WOW what a huge difference the pioneer felt like it was top heavy not anymore I can drift and do donuts with ease does not fell like it's going to flip. I filled nitrogen to 200 psi hopefully that's the correct psi I might play with it maybe try 170. If you have fox shock it's a must upgrade you'll be happy you did.
Um, We were the first company that made them. We started making them in 2008 for the Polaris 800s way back when they came out. All the other companies out there, copied us. We have now redesigned them , and they now have even more internal volume.. We also now have cooling fins on the caps which will aid in shock cooling adding more surface area to dissipate heat.. We were the innovators, everybody else were just copying our idea. Our caps have a significant larger volume than JC Racing ones. You'll also need to use a schrader extension to charge them, as 95% of the chucks out there will NOT fit down into the recess of their caps.. Our schrader valves are recessed as well, however the stem is accessible, and any No-loss chuck will directly fit (no schrader extension needed). NRP DIRECTLY also copied our caps, down the exact shape and dimensions. We offer Fox Gen1 & Gen2 2.0's, Fox Gen2 2.5, and We also have Gen1 & Gen2 2.0 caps for Walker Evans and Gen2 2.5 for Walker Evans shocks.
@@schmidtyracingsuspensions Thanks for the reply. I will definitely refer your company to all my friends that ask about mine. Looking on TH-cam JC has a lot more videos out there so that’s why I assumed they where the first and not a copycat. Lol.
Shock cavitation will be the effect.. which can/ will cause bucking, because the oil will be pushed ahead of the piston & cause a low pressure/vacuum “behind” the piston..without adequate N2 pressure apply pressure to the IFP, instead of the oil being held in place and being forced to go through the valving, it will push it into the reservoir instead because the low N2 pressure won’t resist it..hence the void of a solid oil column “behind” the shaft piston when fully or near fully depressed , will be unable to properly “dampen” on the rebound portion of the stroke as the stored energy of the compressed spring “unloads”; the shock will extend violently, which can & will cause vehicle bucking. I hope that explains it well enough to understand.. Evan @ Schmidty Racing
@@schmidtyracingsuspensions what's the correct psi for 2018 honda pioneer came factory with fox gen 2 with niddle fill I filled 200psi with your kit is that correct? Or should I drop psi

Great video, I will be placing an order. On the 2018 XP4 1000 Dynamix edition the service manual, and the service folks at Fox recommend 100 PSI.
I recommend 200 psi. Your mileage may vary.. but I challenge you to try both , and then comment on the difference..;-)
Is there a write up somewhere that describes rebuilding these shocks completely?
can you used a vacuum motor like they used to recharge AC
I need to change the rubber protector, it is possible to remove the rebound damping?
I just bought the JC Racing ones today for $120 bucks. I didn’t know you guys offer this upgrade too.

Can I use argon gas from my mig welder since I don't have nitrogen
What gauge are you using
do you have a rebuild video for this exact shock by chance or know of a good one
Would like the same plz
Liked the video, dealer filled with 100 psi
What differences would you see between 100 and 200?
What would a rider experience if the pressure was low?

Go to 2:40 for start
Any chance you have a parts list on your nitrogen charge setup?

Question, I have a 2016 RZR 900S EPS, how much for a set of those caps and will they work on my shocks.
I also need some for my 2015 900 4 eps
Go to the link above, and you can see pricing for the various sizes ans styles, & order them right off of the website
Why doesn't your end cap kits come with a new "O"ring?
They do.
Is there a link to order these end caps
