au-yt Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 The Gas struts on my 400 with glass rear hatch work OK when hot but not when cold. I removed on and measured the pressure and when they are hot each one Takes 25KGs to compress strut which equates to 245 Newtons. and only 20KGs or 196Newtons cold Has any one measured a new one when cold? Or measure the pressure a new on please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJD Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 It’s stamped on the strut. Mine says 0250N. They can be re-gassed. I got the seat lifting one on my scooter done recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21gg Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 They loose pressure over time, the signs are that they work when hot, but not when cold. Just replace them, they arent expensive from louts but you can get even cheaper suzuki ones to match. Cant remember the spec but im sure a search would find it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
