I the work manual there 2 models for the rear shock absorber, only Kayaba and Boghe. Is possibile you have a not original part. Anyway, I belive that the pressure depends to the dimension of the outside corp of the shock absorber. If the piston of the gas is little (Boghe, about 30 mm) you must use high pressure (in fact 15 atm.) for big piston (Kayaba, about 40 mm) low pressure (10 atm). For example, Ohlins of my Suzuki GSXR 1000 has a 46 mm gas piston and the pressure is 10 atm.

Many thanks for good information... :D
Is there a tool to buy , to inflate that pressure...?
I have the 40 mm gaz tank...so perhaps I have the KAYABA..

Many thanks

Be careful!
40 mm for the internal piston.. Outside the dimensions may be different..

Hallo
So it is not possible to determine make of the shock by looking at it from outside..?

Kayaba is hidraulic setting in by a register outside the gas chamber.
Boghe is not hidraulic registerable (only the pressure of the spring).
On my Boghe I've made a sistem to change the lenght of the mono, so to lift or to lower the seat.
