What pressure should be there in the rear shock?

You didn't try to check it with an air guage did you??? That's a big no-no! The slight amount that you will lose with a standard air guage is enough to render the shock useless.

The actual pressure varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the general ball park will be in the 145-165 psi range.

How many bar is it? I have a special hi-pressure pump with exact measurement. When i pumped it to 15 bar and it seemed bumpy, so i reduced it to 12 bar.

145-165 psi = 10-11.4 bar

Are you putting air in your shock?

For the topic:today i met a fella on KX-125 and after day ridin' together i asked him for a ride. So, when i was ridin it, it seemed like no gearbox at all! never seen such a smooth shifting I returned it and asked, what does he put in the gearbox... He said... AGIP 2t! He filled the gearbox with premix oil and it runs great...!

Air is wrong.I'd use it in a pinch but get it out asap.Nitrogen is better than air air in many ways-larger molecule,harder to compress,less sensitive to temp,won't absorb moisture like air etc,etc.Moreover,that's what your shock is designed to be run with.

As for the 2t oil in the tranny-it will work for a while but will cause premature damage.

Well, huh, the air is 78% nitrogen, though.

Air will migrate through your shock bladder and contaminate your shock oil.

i used to be a chemist. The oxygen will somehow squeeze through bladders, seals and shit, while the remaining nitrogen is supposed to last and last.

When you were a chemist you didn't inject the results of your labours into your veins did you Fox? :o :-X ;)
