Just picked up an Ohlins shock to replace the std Sachs on my 2004 Gen 1 RSV R Tuono. Just been looking at the Owners handbook which dosent give settings for the Ohlins. Can anyone please give me the standard base settings as a starting point.  |

Seem to have fu**ed up   I picked up the rear Ohlins which was supposed to be for an Tuono RSVR 05 on.Turns out I have an AP8271 rear shock which is listed for an 04 to 09 RSVR or an 06 to 10 Tuono. Its too short by about 6mm so presumably there is no way around the issue? Anyone want to buy it?

What do you want for it? ------------- I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left |
