Same here. for around 150 I could revalved it. Make sure you depressurize it. Use safety glasses. When you pull the shock shaft out, make sure your head is to the side or you will lose some teeth. Good luck.

Although It can be a bit tricky, Just use common sense and you'll be fine. Depressurize the bladder. If it does not have a schrader valve, Its best to have it done for you. You have to have a needle setup. That is the most important step.. You have 150 to 175 psi in that shock bladder, that thing can...
IMO I think its very important to communicate to your suspension tuner on what you like and don't about it. LIke xnationalwrench mentioned, what application is this for? Woods or MX? Spring rates are the first thing to tune when you get a bike. Then you can accuratly test your suspension settings. I'm sure they won't revalve your suspension unless...
