Ripped Shock Reservoir Hose...How Do I Fix It?

[Stinger]

My Bro's 250R bottomed out on a jump and ripped the hose that goes to the rear shock reservoir. It leaked oil (and nitrogen) all over.

 

Now the problem is, how do we go about refilling the shock/rezzy with the appropriate amount of each? Where do we get the Nitrogen? I have no clue about this since I've never dealt with such an odd problem!

use this. much faster than explaining it here. just go down to the rear suspension section.

for the the nitrogen charge, you'll most likely have to take it to a dealer or welding shop to fill it, unless you have the guage and a tank of compressed nitrogen. I think it's either a 150 or 200 psi charge. I forget right now what it is. I'll check and let you know if I find anything.
