what suspension on this bike?
there's an '08 gasser for sale with broken engine (con rod needs replacement, and maybe some more stuff,haven't seen the bike in real life)
what i was wondering is, what suspension is on this bike, is this a racing, with full ohlins TTX on it? in that case, would an average rider benifit from the plus on these suspension components? i've got an ec 200 now (2001) with a great lil' crisp engine but with not the greatest forks (wp 43mm sticky ones), so maybe i'd concider putting that engine in this frame thanks guys. ciao, Hannes. |

GG Sold this combination on request. No TTX

The öhlins Fork is a very very Good Fork and much better than every other Stock Suspension.

The shock is just a 888 model. Not TTX. I can't tell enough about the forks from the pic but the image initially made me think RFX. They are optional on the newer models and a complete Ohlins fork with TTX internally. These may not be those though. You'd have to contact the seller and get more info. Should be easy to tell just by looking at the fork cap.

Ya if you can see the fork cap I thought rfx but would seem strange to spend that kind of money then go with a 888??

Also, being a Racing model I'd say the bike would have came with the Sachs/888 combo like my 2010 Racing model did, and that the bulk of the issues would have been in the fork, thus the owner would have only replaced what wasn't working. Why he went full RFX over inserts would be a question. Very possible they broke the Sachs and couldn't get any replacement parts. That wouldn't surprise me one bit. |

I TOTALLY disagree, my ttx shock was night and day better over my bro Inlaws and buddies 888. Guess preference but for my riding the stock 888 was a joke compared to my stock ttx

Don't get me wrong Trev. I really missed my TTX when it was back at the factory getting the shaft replaced under warranty. Its a definite improvement over a stock 888. I question how much better it would be than a well tuned 888 though. In comparison, people have invested some serious time and coin into the Sachs valve stack and while they've been able to make them work well, they still don't even come close to a stock set of TTX forks. More gains in the front end than the rear.

Cervantes rode the 250 with the 888. He said he preferred it over the TTX at least until a certain point in time
