The rear shock on my 907 is shot. The shaft seal is worn out and leaks. I have tried various places for a rebuild kits but there appears to be none available. My question is what have others done for replacement? Thanks. K6 |

I have never tried, but many members of the forum have managed to rebuild the shock. The parts needed (seals etc.) seem to be not too hardto find, even without the stock rebuild kit. So, you could try to bring it to a good craftsman. Good luck  .Ciao |

Hey there K6,get hold of ROBERT TAYLOR at crown kiwi technical (CKT) in newplymouth new zealand,he's our local ohlins guru who also spends alot of time setting up suspension for the racing fraternity. He supplied a ohlins shock for my 907 so will have spec's allready to build more, and i must add they are worth every cent,i opted for remote spring preload, it's just awsome and that gold bit on the side looks reeeealy trick . Don't waste time,if you can aford it do it!Cost me $1500 nz,about 900 euro. |

Hi Oceanhunter, do you have any pictures of the shock and what adjustments does it have? How does the bike feel after putting it on? I had my marzocchi rebuilt, it but the rebound wasn`t much good. I ended up fitting a new marzzocchi with adjustable preload and rebound suited to a 750/906. Seems to be doing the job alright. |

ASR here in Melb was able to rebuild my Marzochhi shock. For one bike I bought a Wilbers rear shock with hydraulic pre-load, ~$1200 I cant really offer good comparisson as i changed the rear shock soon after i got the bike, as i had forks rebuilt as well. |

Hi davo,as youwould agree there really isn't much to see apart from the gold hydraulic preload adjuster mounted behind the right pillion peg hanger(i hope this explanation gets me out of TRYING  to put up a picture  .The bike handles really well,i have a thirty k ride to work when the weather is kind and the road has some good testing parts for suspension especially at speed and the ohlins really improved both comfort and stability,it only has rebound adjustment (no adjustment offerd by robert much to my discust but he assured me i wouldn't need it!  and bugger me if he was spot on ,i didn't adjust anything after installing,the sag and static sag were within half a millimeter and that compression damping seems right for fast or slow/sharp or gradual bumps,robert said the internals of ohlins gear is pretty clever and i don't doubt that now,all i have to do now is get the front end up to him to work his magic so the front kind of matchs the rear

Some of the Paso 750's had a good olins shock from new and these come up on e-bay every now and then . |
