ST4S - Shocker
I have today taken delivery of my nice new Ohlins 46HCRS rear shock absorber with remote adjustment - ala ST4S for my ST4.

Would any kind ST4S owners post any photos of the remote valve and gas cylinder positions and fixings.

Also it didn't come with a C spanner and mine is out on loan, are they all the same, will the one that came with my ST4 for adjusting the Sachs unit fit.

Thanks as always

Do you need a c spanner for the ohlins shock? I thought they had a remote preload adjuster.

As for the spring adjustment - I've never needed to touch the locknuts but then I only ride singly... if you take a pillion you may wish to wind some preload on to get your sag close...

Hmm, the owners manual makes no mention of it and the tool kit doesn't include a c spanner.

no doubt another 4S owner will be along soon to help out.

I also notice that the only ST models available for 2006 are the ST3 and the ST3ABS. Hadn't reaised that.
