Motorcycle Repair: 82 Yamaha Maxim 650 shocks, yamaha maxim 650, air shocks

Question
i've noticed that my front shocks are just a bit mushy for my liking. i was wondering, how do you put air in the front air shocks? i know the simple answer "unscrew the caps and put some air in them." but, is it bad to do this? can you over-do it? how much air do you put in? or should i just take it to somebody who knows what they're doing?

Answer
Adam,

glad you asked, yes you can over-do the air
filling. Check the pressure with a regular
air gauge, it can be between 3 psi/min and about
10 psi/max. Use a hand/foot pump or very small compressor
to fill, not the high pressure type at gas stations.
