March 25, 201313 yr I've a 2004 290. Looking to get the shock serviced as it doesn't have much damping. Is this rebuildable? Which shock is it? Olle or Sachs? Edited March 25, 201313 yr by nigav
March 25, 201313 yr I would suspect it's a Olle, the Sachs out of my Jarvis rep looks the same except for the colour of the body which is quite a lot darker. Talk to Chris at splatshop about having it serviced/rebuilt, they will probably need to fit a valve to the body for regassing it
March 26, 201313 yr Not trying to be contrary but it looks like the shock on my 05 290 which I was told; 'is not a service-able item (regarding re-gassing)' when I inquired about it years ago, mine has too much damping me thinks, I know it's nothing to complain about but I do like to meddle with my set-up. Sorry if I'm muddying the waters. Wayne
March 26, 201313 yr http://www.splatshop.co.uk/rear-shock-rebuild.html (y) It would appear the olle shock is rebuildable.
April 24, 201313 yr Author Turns out the my and all 2004 290s had a sachs shock which i was able to get rebuilt. Mark at Race Suspension Services sorted it for me. New seal, bush and fitted a valve to allow regassing. It can now be rebuilt any time from now on. Very reasonably priced too. And it's working a treat.
