Service interval on an Ohlins rear shock

[Robert Taylor]

Didn't mean to tarnish all Trumpet owners with the same brush! I was referring to the 675 US forum where there are one or two posters who are obsessed with all things gold or carbon fibre! It was said in jest

No worries! Note that the 675 has a particularly nasty link ratio progressivity.

and the exspense of the mobile work shop

You mean that gaily painted pixie hutt, it's about time they upgraded to a proper coffee machine in it.

Back to the subject matter, I have Ohlins shocks on both of my bikes and I can attest to the fact that the CKT/RT fettled product is a big advancement on the out-of-the-box product.
Best of all is Roberts after sales service, he is quite happy to fine tune the product (usually at no further cost) until the customer is 100% happy with the result.
You might be able to buy 'the product' cheaply off the interweb, but that kind of service and follow up is worth it's weight in gold IMO.

You call those things bikes? One needs a pilot vehicle preceding it warning of wide loads following and the other appears to have been designed by a failed set designer from battlestar gallactica.

ps. wheres the levers?

At least mine are working, registered and WOF'd unlike your motley collection of half built wrecks. Has your limp wrist healed yet?
When are you getting that crossdressing Italian/Japanese thing with a name that sounds like a dubious sexual proclivity back on the road?

You expect free stuff now as well?

And they need a lighthouse on every corner to show them the way!

And you STFU too!
Remember, we have a deal.....and you have six carbies to overhaul.....

Just been looking at the tags on this thread, wasn't aware you'd changed your name to reflect your Maori heritage 9explains why your father voted Labour).
Do we now address you as Bishop, or your worship or what?

Strong political conviction comes from my mothers side, tough and stern people come from Northern England. Religion is mainstream protestant as opposed to the arm waving variety.
Strong protestant work ethic and totally averse to BS and people that blatantly use you
My father carried my disgust at his one voting indiscretion to the grave.
Sir will suffice nicely plus an improvement in your dress code wouldnt go amiss.

You going to make the steps low enough on the new trailer for Rcktfsh? Unless someone lifts him up, I doubt he's even seen the inside of the present trailer.

Wonder just how much susp we need to have purchased to get a gold "ring" ?

Actually have two warrented/registered bikes in the garage including the bastard italian/japanese love child.

Low enough for me, is low enough for any one

If you looked at Ohlins gross profit per annum youd ask wha do they put so much effort in for so little return. 7%

Red runs his team ( Robbie Bugden, James Smith ) We ( CKT ) are responsible for doing internal setting changes to the suspension units that we supply to that team, invoiced to Suzuki NZ. Whilst Red is starting to look after some of our interests in the South Island we will still be looking after Robbies and James suspension when called upon.

My paying customers are by no means subsidising free assistance to others. Over the winter months we have done a lot of development work with the Blue Wing Honda racebikes and now with Strouds new K9. Neither BWH or SNZ are invoiced for our time, only any parts used. And we have helped a lot of people besides, who have asked.

We have service contracts for some of the distributor riders during the Nationals, it barely covers costs.

If then it is percieved that our product prices subsidise subsequent setup then our prices are much too low.

Ohlins instituting that policy is a first step in combating internet resellers who have no respect for appointed territories and the cost in infrastructure that each distributor has. There are to be further measures. It doesnt help that the US Ohlins distributor can purchase product in $US giving better insulation against currency fluctuation. It also dosent help that the $NZ is currently so strong, in the end event its no good for exporters and NZ business, the 2 biggest contributors to the welfare of our country. Its time more of us put the overall wellbeing of the country above self interest., and I make no aplogy for saying that.

Have to agree with this Robert has helped alot this season on my bikes and hasnt charged me andim not a front runner but when I want suspension work done it goes toRobert no one else as I am one for loyalty with someone who helps you return the favour
