Robert Taylor, looking in your direction...
How often does a Ohlins rear shock need servicing? Is it based on mileage or time?
It's a TR-602 for a Daytona 675.
Thanks
Luke

It would be great to actually know this dude! I await some actual facts soon too *eagerly awaits*
I thought it was some crazy number... hmmmm ... like every 2 thousand on track and 7 thousand on road (these are broken wrong and I know it!!!)
Why is it that road shocks do not need servicing more?.... having huge bumps and all you would have thought a smoother race track would be nicer on them eh?
holding the line...
Up to 40000 kilometres, ideally for best performance every 20000 ks. MUST be serviced by an approved and FACTORY TRAINED Ohlins dealer, not those who say ''I can do it, its easy'' In Wellington Pat McClachlan at Motomart, no-one else in Wellington has the training or is privy to constant and ongoing factory updates, Pat has been trained by a Swedish engineer we had out here.
Wow thats an aweful lot of tracktime!
I'd say they also need servicing when they fail the visual inspection. eg. Oil leaking out around shaft seal etc.
Also when the fail the jump up and down on test. eg. don't appear to be providing correct damping etc.
You'd think rear shocks would need far more servicing than forks but I suppose forks are subjected to all sorts of side loadings and exposed to the weather and grit more.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
Pretty sure I saw a DIY rebuild kit on special in The Warehouse's latest brochure
40,000 is pretty impressive - most stock shocks would be toast by then
Still waiting for my lotto numbers to come in .... how come the shit you really want is never on no deposit, no interest and a zillion years to pay?
Botany Honda are well versed in dealing with Dr Rob
They are now well drilled in either receiving shocks from him and fitting, or removing them and sending them down for service. Hornet's was pulled out after about 50,000km (could definitely feel it needed a service) and a heavier one put in (which arrived juuuust in time for service).
Zapf has his original shock (was in mine) on his Hornet now, back to the Ohlins loving

I'm sure there is another Suspension Tech living in the Wgtn area and is known for his modest prices.
He's is at most race meetings and have even seen him at track days too, drives a white truck.
Can't think of his name at present but some of the race guy's on here will tell you.
Seems to be an ever increasing number of bikes in the pits carrying his logo, must be doing good work.
