Hi everyone. I’ve a quick question about the ohlins rear shock. I’ve bought a 996 that’s on showa front and rear. Never had the suspension serviced as far as I’m aware. I was thinking why bother getting the shock serviced and just drop in an ohlins unit. I’ve looked and the part numbers / model number is du143 or S46PR1C2B now those numbers come up for a 749 /999 too. So does that mean a 749/999 rear shock will fit ? Many thanks
Have the forks and shock rebuilt and resprung for your weight. It will be much better than buying the gold stuff that may not be right for your weight. Or, get the forks rebuilt and get a nitron or maxton for the rear that will come with the right spring for you. Unless you like the gold bling, then its a form over function choice
Thanks everyone for your input. I’m going to go down the service and revalve of the forks and a ohlins shock sprung to my weight and valved correctly . That way I know it’s right for ‘ me ‘
