I can tell you that there is no comprison between my '10 EC300 with Sachs/Sachs and my old Katoom with WP stuff....
I'm not even sending the Sachs out for anything. I only let 20cc of oil out of each fork leg. Clickers are all stock. Sag 110. I weigh 185 lbs.

Scott Bright raced Tecate last Fall on an apparently stock EC300 with what he reports was a Sachs/Zokes combo...
http://www.racermec.org/index.php?op...1037&Itemid=86 Geoff of MotoCity, who transfered the bike to him remembers it as a Sachs/Sachs combo. Anyway, I e-mailed Les to ask him his opinion and I mentioned this thread (but he doesn't like to post much). |

Quality of the components was the main reason I heard. Steel bodied shock vs. aluminum, shock shaft size, fork size, and thin-walling of the forks and its associated issues to name a few reasons. When you work and service both you obviously see things that others don't and form an opinion. That's from tuners, but lots of owners over here really love the Zoke/Ohlins performance. Again, both have known issues with ways to fix them and both can be made to work really well.

Very intresting that the fork guys seem to say the sachs are the best i think the main reason customers over here like the zochs is that the first time we saw them was on the gas gas was on the hobby version that came out around 06 or 07 it was cheaper version of the ec and had some inferior parts on it this might of given us the wrong impression i dont know because i am not a suspension expert but i still prefer the zokes ohlin set up and when you try and sell your bike over here the first question the buyer will ask is sachs or zokes and the zokes are what they want

In my perfect world, I would have the Zoke forks and the Sachs shock. The Sachs shock is easier to work on and parts are more readily available for them.

I wonder if I should just keep my LTR-massaged Ohlins/Zokes from my 2005 and put them on the new bike, then part out the rest. Are the dimensions suitable?

If they fit having a backup set is not a bad thing, especially when it's out for service.
