Pre 03' shock info needed

[nknudsen]

Were there any pre 03' Ohlins (long style) shocks made with high and low speed compression adjustments? If so what bikes had it? DE, SE or? Thanks!

Bump for the old time gassers.

So Nobody knows?
Is that it?

not sure it helps you any but I think my owners manual describes high and low speed adjustments (and has pictures too I think) but my bike didn't come with that style shock. Had me confused for a while. But to answer your question, I don't know. My kids '04 doesn't have that feature either.

Thanks for the bump, I'm still curious about this.

Could you post a picture of that section in your owners manual? Thanks!

sorry, I was mistaken. All it shows is the bottom "rebound" adjuster and the top "dampening" adjuster. What exactly are you looking for, are you looking for adjustment or rebuild info?

 

[nknudsen]

I'm just wondering if they ever had a hi and low speed compression adjustment with also the rebound adjustment? If there was such a shock for the bikes I might start looking for one?

Sorry. No separate HSC adjuster back then. I'm familiar with 2001 thru 2003 GG, owned and worked on all these models. Shock got a lot shorter in 2002 when GG moved the top mount down on the frame. All were Ohlins, nice gold color, no purple.

When did the bikes start to get the hi & low speed compression adjustment on the rear shocks?
