I have a spare Ohlins on the shelf. I bought it in the UK a few years ago (for ?100), and it was then newly rebuilt. I think it is from a slightly newer bike than 06, but I has kept it as a spare for my 06 200.

It has been sitting on my shelf since I bought it, I have never used it.
If you are interested, I can take some photos.

I am in Norway.

Yup. I will see what I get done tonight (after riding my Gasgas for two hours in the dark, cold, snowy Norwegian Winter)

I have uploaded some photos at my album here
Please have a look. I hope these images are visible to the public?

From the sticker, it looks like Steve Plain has done a rebuild. I did email him some years ago, and he stated that it was just rebuilt, but not revalved for a particular purpose.
The images also show the text on the spring and the Ohlins type number GG6822. A quick Google search didn't come up with an

Hello,

I took it to an Ohlins service centre and I got it back last week.

The bearing at the top was wrong, some had put a plain bush in the housing and it should be a spherical bush.

I haven't had the chance to fit it yet, I have ordered all new bearings for the linkage,swinging arm etc.

Hopefully that does the trick.

cheers Bill

 

[Anders]

Sounds like a good solution

Hello,

I read about the bearing on here and I thought it was worth a try, the service centre isn't far from me.

Yours could have been the cheaper option though !!!
