no problem dude , another question on this suspension OTR claims ohlins front forks springs are progressive , but I've been checking some stuff , but there is nothing about this on the ohlins site , when you saw the springs for your self , where they winded progressively ? On another forum where dutch and belgian tenere riders gather , I've also been talking about this suspension upgrade , A guy also did some checks and asked a company specialized in customized suspension, and they told him if you drive road and offroad , go for wilbers or hyper as these are progressive , ohlins is linear making this a more offroad only orientated spring... any thoughts on this ? |
The Ohlins springs are not progressively wound, I don't see this as an issue. Plenty pics of me jumping my bike on the forum and I have never bottomed it out yet.

ok , thx ..., I just need to decide :) either wilbers front or ohlins , back will be ohlins anyway |
ok ok ok !
just installed my ohlins shock as I got it without doing any setup changes on rebound , damping etc ... I took it for a quick ride round the block and also on a gravel road , oh my what a difference , short bumps are kinda hard, but the longer and deeper bumps suddendly feel like I'm floating over them .... when I bought the shock they asked me how I ride , where , weight etc ... , and I suppose the shock was also setup from stock on my personal settings ... so travelling light , or Jenny ? did you guys tested the shock "like you got it" or did you first did some settings on it before putting it on the motor ? this is how I got it , it look like the sachs is much more tensioned then the ohlins spring ,making the spring look longer ... http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2327/...cd3673af_o.jpg |
Hi Kemizz - porn aren't they?!
I just stuck mine on, didn't touch a thing... like you, I found the difference appreciable straight away - although my OEM shock had done 23,000 miles of course. As I understand it, the Ohlins shock has a slightly stiffer spring rate 80N/mm vs. 70 N/mm stock, and certainly one observer (a Mr Peterhansel, ahem) suggested the back end of my rally bike looked a little stiff, although I found it worked fine (maybe it could be even better, but Ohlins don't offer a softer spring)... Certainly the damping characteristics are what marks out the Ohlins as a cut above, the bike feels very controlled and progressive - and of course if you are not racing it as light as possible, the slightly stiffer spring would be better for carrying luggage and/or a pillion of course... I might fiddle with the damping at some point, but since it works so well, I just left it alone... Jx |
No further actions
I agree with JMO, I didn't touch the rear, it was set up by ohlins before they shipped it, I have been tempted to try and set the sag, but the shock is very difficult to adjust once fitted (especially the compression rate).

grr , just notice that already at the top of the spring , where it's first hitting the metal part of the shock , there is already a small crack in the paint , the yellow on the spring
seems I should be going back to the shop and ask for a brand new one ? of just let it like it is ? |
