Title: Shock differences from 07-08 S2R1000? Post by: superkain on May 10, 2016, 02:54:35 PM Looking to have the shock serviced on my 2008 S2R1000 by Traxxion Dynamics. I still have the shock from my 2007 S2R1000 that came off when I put Ohlins on it.
Can I just send them to '07 shock to refresh for me? Is there any length or substance difference between 07 and 08? I can't seem to find any differences in their descriptions online, and figured maybe someone here would know if there was some small 'Gotcha.' Thank you!

For what a service on that shock will cost, I'd give a hard look at the budget Ohlins unit. Title: Re: Shock differences from 07-08 S2R1000? Post by: blalor on May 10, 2016, 07:21:30 PM Looks like Traxxion charges $225 for a rebuild; aren't Öhlins generally priced much higher than that?

The rebuild, and re-valve, re-spring, with the easy adjusting collar, rather than the knuckle busting spanner type, comes out to less than $400 after shipping from Traxxion. Plus I'm ordering forks springs from them. I really wanted the Ohlins, but honestly the adjuster collar kinda sold me on the rebuild. Do you think the Ohlins is that much better? or am I just kinda paying for the name at that point? $200? Both shocks have preload and rebound damping adjustment. Title: Re: Shock differences from 07-08 S2R1000? Post by: Speeddog on May 11, 2016, 08:04:22 AM At least part of the cost difference is justified in that the Ohlins is brand new.
In addition, the Ohlins will have significantly higher resale value than a rebuilt stocker. Title: Re: Shock differences from 07-08 S2R1000? Post by: superkain on May 11, 2016, 08:39:21 AM Wise words.
I don't ever want to sell it, but what I want and what is required are often very far from one another. Ohlins looks damn good on a bike listing. Title: Re: Shock differences from 07-08 S2R1000? Post by: Speeddog on May 11, 2016, 08:48:27 AM I'd say definitely get the Traxxion preload collar, no matter which shock you get.
Title: Re: Shock differences from 07-08 S2R1000? Post by: stopintime on May 11, 2016, 09:34:14 AM Usually the Öhlins have a portion of compression damping included in the rebound adjuster.
That would be a plus against a stock shock.... |
