I'm still wondering if it was a very efficient technology.

My 350YPVS had one, it was a real mess to tune with a garage compressor !
It's better to use a hand pump as Alan said, and a more precise digital gauge.
Another good trick is to fit an Y adaptor to avoid mis-balancing the arms.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I raced a highly tuned YPVS 350 with a stock chassis in the F2 class for a while which used a Race Tech rear shock and standard front. I ended up with 30 pence worth of 10 pence pieces in each leg and 10 psi in the tubes......still bounced a bit
