2002 drz 400 e with air valves next to clickers. how much air should i put in them?

[Jackson621 TT Newbie]

none- they are bleeders- place on a stand to drain air out.. if too soft you may need to get re valving done or heaver springs for you weight / ability

doesnt have to make a sound just as long as you can feel it locking into that slot

Hey guys I took the old crap air shock out of my "Honda crf70 style" pit bike and installed one of those Nitro charged Fastace (1000lb) the original eye to eye was 9 this new one is 11. I also wanted to raise the height of the seat from 28.5 as i am 6'2" and a little over 200lbs. Well it raised the seat to around 32.5inches and is pushing the swing arm down pretty far. When i sit on it is does go down but i am worried about the chain rubbing against the rubber mount on the shoulder of the swing arm. lol maybe 1000 pounds was a bit much.

Am going for the black and chrome look. Can anyone recommend a rear shock that will raise the bike an inch or two but will flex down enough when you sit on the chain will not be rubbing?

2 inches is so much to add to your shock. if you leave that shock in you should probably put some kind of lowering link in there other wise your rear wheel will have to move soooo far to absorb the smallest of bumps.
other wise i have no ideas on shocks.
