Hi,
I have a 2006 EC300 with an Ohlins shock.
I installed a heavier 5.8 shock spring [and .48 fork springs] and want to set the shock to stock settings. I have the forks set but not the shock.
The manual I got with the bike is for an '05 and has no specs.
I searched the Ohlins website http://www.ohlins.com/ and input the number stamped on the top of the shock which is GG 4840 [and 117310 on the opposite side], but it says its for a GG450.
In a post here http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=224&highlight=shock+setting Les of LT Racing states..."High speed compression (the 17 mm hex with rubber boot around it) up to late 2005 would be 3.25 to 3.5 turns out. Late 2005 and 2006 has a different HSCD adjuster, 1.5 to 1.75 turns out."
My shock was set at about 4 turns out.
So me and my little brain are confused. The questions comes down to....
1-What are the baseline setting for this shock?
2-What shock do I really have?
Here is what I have done so far....
Set Preload to 10mm {the original spring had only 6mm of preload}
Set Rebound at 15 clicks out/CCW from bottom
Set Compression at 18 clicks out/CCW from bottom
Set HiSpeedCompression at 1.75 turns out/CCW from bottom.
My VIN number is VTREC30C060754004
Thanks in advance for replying.
Happy 4th of July
