SOURCE: how easy is it to rebuild a shock on a honda

My honest opinion is that you leave it to the experts. You need some heavy duty spring compression stands and spring retainers. Sure you can source them but how often will you be rebuilding rear shocks. If you need work done on yours I would suggest going out and buying a reputable after market shock, e.g Ohlins etc.

they could be rebuilt with today,s technology but the cost and parts would make them very expensive, use the 125 set you mention..

SOURCE: how do you adjust rear shock up on a 1989 honda

Standard settings are...Rear Preload: Position 3
Rear Compression: 1 turn out from maximum (punch aligned)
Rear Rebound: 1 turn out from maximum (punch aligned)
This is for the 97 & 98 year models.

SOURCE: how to rebuild rear shock 2003 honda crf 450

Put the bike on a stand supporting the bottom of the frame. Remove the seat and sidepanels. Loosen the clamp on the carb to airbox boot at the rear of the carb. Loosen the muffler clamp, remove muffler mounting bolts and pull muffler. Remove the 4 rear subframe bolts. Remove the rear subframe (leave airbox and rear fender assembled in it). You are now staring at a completely exposed rear shock. Remove the shock mount bolts and remove the shock. Measure the spring adjusted length for a future starting point when the spring is put back on. Loosen both spring pre-load adjuster spanner nuts all the way. Helps if you clean the dirt off the threads and use a little lube. Pull the spring towards the spanner nuts and remove the clip ring at the opposite end spring holder. that's it.

I have a 1993 honda goldwing. When i try to pressure up the rear suspension, I hear the air pump working, but the suspension pressure does not increase. can you help me?

You either have a leaking air line , but more likely you have blown a rear shock seal. You can replace the seal yourself. The seals will cost about about $20 per shock and $7 for a bottle of rear shock oil. http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/1993-honda-gl1500a-gold-wing-aspencade/o/m2359#sch24899
