someone chime in if i'm wrong, but the number i see most often is 300 psi. dootalk has a shock rebuild thread that said 300 and i had a rebuilder in buying nitrogen the other day that was charging to 300 psi.

Dont just add nitrogen you need to change the oil and frankly the valving.

didnt think i needed to change the oil, its a low milage(2k) sled, and the valving is good for the person that rides it( non agressive younger rider) so i just wanted to check/top off seeing that the sled has a few years on it .
front skis about 190psi and center/rear 285psi

If nitrogen is low then the shock need to be fully serviced pretty simple. Topping off nitrogen is a bad thing

Change the oil too, why not. Think of it like an engine, the original "break in" oil gets contaminated pretty quickly. Not that there should have been any debris in the shock, but the rings will break in and dirty up the shock oil. Revalve (especially on a Yamaha tuned shock) never hurts.
Typical Charge for Yamaha Shocks is between 180 and 220 PSI. The IFP depth is kept under one of the pyramids in Egypt. You may be able to determine a close measurement if you disassemble carefully, with the rese it's not such an issue, non-rese different story.
