I dont know. I have never had it done - I am the second owner.

The bike has sat on a rear stand in my garage since 2006, unused except for a couple of short runs each season.

I have sold the bike and the shock is the last of the goodies I have.

Cheers!

It is important to get them serviced....and it sounds like this one is due.

PM sent to seller.


To others,
What can one expect the cost of servicing an Ohlins to be? And roughly how often?

I used to use Dan Kyle as he is close to you but now the shop I would use is these guys:
Ben's Motorcycle Works

Local and have good reviews from the local riders.

That cost is basically for a fluid "flush & fill" with maybe some O-rings and no other substantial parts. If such parts are needed a full "rebuild" can run over $300 but it's more than worth if the shock body, reservoir & preload are in decent shape.

I'd consider buying it but I'm happy with my US made Penske 3-way.

I've not used Racetech for a redux, just info to help Hangfly.

I decided that this was not in my budget right now. So I believe the shock is still available.
The seller asked me to post these photos that he emailed to me.
Pretty tempting.

Thanx Hangfly!!

Pictures are of the shock as it came off the bike.

It's a little dirty, but I can't see any leaks.

Ohlins USA lists the shock at over $1200.

Cheers!
