nigav Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) I've a 2004 290. Looking to get the shock serviced as it doesn't have much damping. Is this rebuildable? Which shock is it? Olle or Sachs? Edited March 25, 2013 by nigav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I would suspect it's a Olle, the Sachs out of my Jarvis rep looks the same except for the colour of the body which is quite a lot darker. Talk to Chris at splatshop about having it serviced/rebuilt, they will probably need to fit a valve to the body for regassing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Not trying to be contrary but it looks like the shock on my 05 290 which I was told; 'is not a service-able item (regarding re-gassing)' when I inquired about it years ago, mine has too much damping me thinks, I know it's nothing to complain about but I do like to meddle with my set-up. Sorry if I'm muddying the waters. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshercorider Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 http://www.splatshop.co.uk/rear-shock-rebuild.html (y) It would appear the olle shock is rebuildable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigav Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Turns out the my and all 2004 290s had a sachs shock which i was able to get rebuilt. Mark at Race Suspension Services sorted it for me. New seal, bush and fitted a valve to allow regassing. It can now be rebuilt any time from now on. Very reasonably priced too. And it's working a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
