How to burp an air/oil shock (has cavitation)

[junkster]

My Air/oil Straos XC pro shock I am sure is sufferin from cavitation (vacums of trapped air in the oil that collapse and cause the shock to make a high squelchin sound and loose their effectiveness).  

Any ideas of what to do

cheers,

Burping the Stratos shocks is a messy job that requires a large can, ATF transmission fluid, and patience.  The complete procedure is available on their website. http://www.stratashock.com/main.html

It is not too bad, but to get it right you have to repeat the procedure a few times.  Use latex gloves unless you like the smell of tranny fluid.  [smiley=upset.gif]
