Hi all,

I have a full ohlins setup underneath my bike and I drive it everyday , no matter what weather ...

these days it's around -10 here in Belgium,

when I had the bike two years ago I never had any problems during cold temperatures, at least the bike , myself , that's a different story ...

The past two days since temperatures are dropping quite low , I notice the bike has a completely different steering handling ...

Yesterday I checked my tyre pressure and noticed that this was way to low (around 1 bar front and back wheel ) so I quickly changed this and stepped on the bike the morning after , bike was running as normal again ...

So few hours later after the bike had been outside the entire day , I again stepped on the bike and immediately noticed the same steering behavior :

the bike reacts slower to steering and feels completely different ...

Called my bike shop immediately and there they think it could be that the ohlins suspension , especially the rear shock will behave differently in very cold weather and that I should change some settings ...
But then I'm not sure what to change, rebound? spring preload , compression?
they think the shock is maxed out in cold weather and is not coming back enough after riding over a bump or when cornering
This all was via telephone so they didn't check my bike physically yet
It's strange as I never had this with the cheap sachs oem shock and front springs ..

anybody having the seem problem or notice the same behavior with ohlins in cold weather ?

I bought it and never changed any settings as the spring is set to my weight and riding style from factory ...

so there yo go , a 1000 euro suspension upgrade isn't always good



thanks , and have a safe ride you winter riders !
