Ohlin Suspension Adjustments

[rogerc]

I recently upgraded my suspension going with firmer springs in front and an Ohlin shock in the rear. The front seems great and probably doesn't need any adjustment.

Been working with getting my suspension dialed in but can't quite get the rear shock right.

I have adjusted the bottom red screw by screwing up towards the spring and the black adjustment on the side into the bike. But I am still getting a harsh ride and need advice on how to best adjust the suspension. The bottom red screw is screwed in all the way and won't go in any farther.

Do I need to adjust the main spring? If so which way and what other adjustments should be made?

Thanks,

RC

Roger,

Not sure what you mean by "bottom red screw", but what year is your bike, and do you know what part number it is? Did you buy it new or used?

I'll send you the adjustment instructions.

Probably, but before you start goofing around, write down your current settings, then check and set your sag.

Here's the link to the Ohlins shock manual.
