January 23, 201115 yr Author I think any older shock will fit. Olle shocks are prone to the problem and are not re-buildable. I hate them even when they arent faulty, worst shock on any bike available at the moment in my opinion. Go for an Ohlins if your feeling flush ! The problem is, after buying the bike last week my pockets are empty!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 23, 201115 yr Author Give this man aring he can rebuild 08shockers. 01642675846 Has he got a name???
January 23, 201115 yr Why don't these factories put re-buildable shocks on their bikes ??? All this grief over a simple seal replacement. What if forks were non re-buildable? Makes no sense.
January 23, 201115 yr As above....although some people say you can only go back to 2006...but we had a 2005 shock on the rear of my sons 2008 125. I did hear that if you fit them upside down the mud doesn't get to the places it shouldn't...Never tried it so can't comment..I guess I must have a 2008 Olle shock kickig around somewhere...knackered !
January 24, 201115 yr I had a 2002 with a non rebuildable shock. Parts were available and it can be done. There was some input that it would soon fail again but it has been about a year and I ride some every week. See the link below. http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/28332-shock-rebuild-in-us/page__p__232017__hl__*mcman56*__fromsearch__1#entry232017
January 25, 201115 yr Author It seems like an ohlins is the way to go but funds won't allow this at the moment. So the solution for me is to find a cheap s/h shock to use untill i can afford an ohlins one. Anyone who knows for a cheap shock give me a shout. (will a shock from a 2000 model fit my 2008)
January 28, 201115 yr I have a ohlins fitted to my 08 320 and it is very good compared to the olle.. They give a very good feel and i find that they make the bike grip a lot better. Not to hard to setup, but its best to have the right C spanners.. You could try giving Robin Martin a ring at RCM motorcycles..(01209820896) Hes normally got a few second hand shocks in good order..May even have a Ohlins.. The 08 Olle can be rebuilt,, as for cost i seem to think it was around
