Default Before you sell the sachs shod bike for the cc zokes

After getting a pretty good setup with the sachs, with revalve of base, mid ( thanks to two wheel's mid valve kit) and rebound, but it was still not ....not..... trustworthy, you would be smashing into stuff all day and then BAM, nasty deflection. I was warming up the minister for finance for a 2012 with cc zokes

THEN, I did some numbers and decided to get some ohlins inserts as if it fixed the bike, I'd save around 3k Aussie on the change over, including the inserts, if it didn't, sell the inserts and drop another few hundred.

The bike is TOTALLY different, this is with the stock ohlins valving, which is towards mx, I'm two thirds out on the clickers rebound and compression ( stock was half way) and it's like a Velcro magic carpet, and the harshness in the sachs rear end has disappeared.

I have ridden in the past six months, and all were sprung for around my weight, rmz 450, rmx 450 both with rg3 suspension (both excellent, one was owned by the over 45 national champ off road in oz), 2011 berg cc wp( cv good), 2010 berg oc (crap) 2011 300exc oc revalved by Chad (vv good) revalved Showa conventional cc ( good for their age), 2011 yz450f with off road revalve and nothing felt like these Ohlins.

Think about it before you sell a 2010 or 2011 sachs with low hours.
