Ohlins rear shock absorber
Does the Ohlins shock absorber fitted to early Paso's fit a 907 ie ? And does it improve the handling?.
Mine has a new ish Hagon unit currently fitted! Not sure if they are good or not?

Re: Ohlins rear shock absorber
I had a ohlins shock made by our local agent cost $1500 NZ, worth every penny !Now I am contemplating
finding an ohlins front fork set or having the m1r customized with ohlins internals for around $700 NZ by
the same people here in NZ . The rear also has remote spring preload adjustment (well worth it)makes
preload changes quick and easy.

The Marzocchi rear shock from my 750 has a remote spring preload adjuster too, so I assumed that they all had one.oceanhunter wrote:The rear also has remote spring preload adjustment (well worth it)makes

Re: Ohlins rear shock absorber
while Thebenelliman is talking about the Öhlins shock mounted on the very early P750 models oceanhunter has installed an aftermarket Öhlins.
All P750 shocks had the spring adjuster. Aftermarket Öhlins do also exist w/o.

Re: Ohlins rear shock absorber
It fits 907.
Improves handling, do get a proper spring. I got a 52 Nm, + 90 kg driver.

Sorry of course, we're on the 907 section. I wasn't thinking.Tamburinifan wrote:It fits 907.
I realise now that the 907 has the 851 style rear suspension rather than the arrangement on the 750 and 906.
Silly me - apologies all round : )

it doesn`t. P750/906/907ie have the same rear suspension design.I realise now that the 907 has the 851 style rear suspension rather than the arrangement on the 750 and 906.

Re: Ohlins rear shock absorber
So in conclusion the shock will fit and improve handling?

Re: Ohlins rear shock absorber
it will fit but the question might be if the length and spring rate are identical

Hello,
as per Ohlins France, dims are not the same. 906 are a bit shorter if I recall correctly.
for the 907ie : S46HR1C1LS (réf. DU907PFP) 1470 euros VAT incl.
cheers,
Sergio

Re: Ohlins rear shock absorber
I put a Paso750 ohlins on my 907 10 years and had contact with tyre on mudguard under ecu with passenger. I had shock rebuilt by Harris ohlins specialist with heavier spring and still had problems.

Re: Ohlins rear shock absorber
Penske & Öhlins made for 750 same length c/c as original 907 Marzocchi, FHE.
Original spring 750 Öhlins according to Öhlins Sweden 42 NM, way too soft f most.
W stiffer spring, ride vastly improved, it just works. No problems hitting anything,
haven`t ridden much 2 up though. I assume adjusting preload & setting sag with passenger would
take care of that.
