FAQ; Suspension baseline settings

[darren]

I have a 1998 EC250 Does anybody have the stock settings for the rear ohlins on this year bike.
Also i set the preload on the rear spring to 8mm on checking the static sag it measured up at 40 mm.
the spring has some numbers on it but they dont mean a lot to me.
The numbers are 596-09/05 088 I weigh about 170 lbs

If i wind down the preload to get 15mm static sag then the spring ends up 3/4 way down the thread well under the thread center line.

Any body help?

Does the low speed have to be re-adjusted on the ohlins after moving the high speed, or just the sachs?

Does anybody know the stock / the best settings for a 2003 EC 300? It has got the Marzocchi fork an the Öhlins damper.

Hi all. This may have been posted but there's a lot to go through on this thread I. Looking for any info on setting up a 1998 ec250. Ohlins rear. Zoke 44mn front. Prevowner had heavier springs installed. He's about 250 or so lbs. I am 203 out of the shower I they should work. But is the standard 100ish mm sag for rear applicable? What about front? And clicker settings? No racing. No track or large air. I am a backwoods single track rider. Rocky British Columbia single tracks.

Just put 10mm of preload on your shock spring and try that. Always seemed to work great on the older bikes with the ohlins shock. The owners manual has good set up tips for the clickers. It can be found on the GG web site.
