06 pro ohlins rebound damping

Hi

having serviced the front forks, attention is turning to the rear Ohlins shock.

Rebound damping adjuster (bottom of the shock)is set 20 clicks out from fully in.

---Anything more than 8 clicks out allows the suspension to "bounce" when it tops out.

---Fully in, the rebound isnt what anyone would call "slow".

---Anything more than 15 clicks out makes little difference.

---pressing hard on the "seat" (airbox cover) area shows the front and rear compress and return at the same time.

so.... is this normal?, what have others set theirs too? and why?

Its mostly a matter of personal preference but from what you describe it sounds like the spring rates are matched front to rear but the shock itself could do with an overhaul, unless you're happy with it as it is? That's the good thing with the Ohlins,its fully rebuildable and a dose of fresh oil and a re-charge of gas will probably be all it needs and give it a new lease on life. Good time to renew the seals too. Not a DIY job though.
