Rear Shock Q Is there a difference in the 996R/998R rear shock or is it the same Ohlins unit across the range I am thinking of getting my 998bp Ohlins revlved to suit the revalved front but am also hoping to change to one of the above bikes & am wondering if it would be better to keep the revalve shock & swop it it for the new bikes shock Hope that maked sense ! |
Dont forget that the spring rate is different! |
Is that just down to the fact that both of the bikes are mono only ? |
Yup |
Just found out the 996R/998/998S all have the same part number for the rear shock ! Not got any info on the 998R yet ! |
I would imagine its the same |
If it any help the rear shock on the 996R and the 996S were the same but they use different springs and the default setting for spring preload was different (or atl east the setting my 996S came with was different. |

The mono's appear to have a lighter spring but the preload in theory should be the same as the spring is the same length , if there was much more preload on a lighter spring then that would indicate that a heavier spring is needed ! |
Just phoned K-tech about getting my rear shock re-valved & they said not to bother ,after telling them my riding traits they said the std shock should be up to the job no problem . They then gave me some set up suggestions , which i have tried today (thur) and the bike is much better Hows that for customer service (yet again) :D:D:D |
