mad4it Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I can try and help you with some of the questions you ask! 1st the ohlins rear shock absorber is far superior to the sachs unit and are about the best suspension units money can buy,the raga versions had ohlins units fitted. They are ajustable for preload and compression and rebound damping As reguards having the shock serviced if it is needed there are many ohlins service agents advertised that will sort it for you!

motojojo Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I don't know your weight but I'm 220lbs and I had to put a stiffer spring on my ohlins, and now it is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis_gasgas Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I think i need my suspension sorting on my gasser it doesnt spring back up really ... dampening ?? Im on a 280 and my shock is black i thought just the ohlins came in black because someone i know has a 125 and theyre shock is yellow and thought all 07s came with sachs or ohlins? that correct?

spenser Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I beleive that the Ohlins came on the Ragas and the 2006 models. The adjustment on the shock is for rebound and the spring can be adjusted for pre-load. I read somewhere that the compression is internally adjusted proportionally to the rebound setting but can't verify that. The feel of the Ohlins v Sachs is personal; both are very good I don't think that you can say that one is better than the other. Changing the oil in the front forks: the compression side (left) is not too bad, just go by the manual; the rebound (right) is a very messy affair as you have to fill the cartridge before you install it back into the fork. The only way to fill the forks is by the measurement method. I hope that this helps a bit. Spencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
