Maybe the ride height is to low. Are you sure that the ride height is the same as with the stock shock?

Hi,

1999 ZX6r G2 - fitted ohlins rear shock last weekend & since then have noticed a definate tendancy for the bike to run extremely wide in turns where before it was prolly a bit too quick into turns.

Any ideas before I start playing with things?

Hi,

Unfortunately in my haste to fir the ohlins, I forgot to compare the old + new!!!

Gotta remeasure it seems.

Cheers

Mad Si,

It's either you have too little compression damping or the rear ride height is too low, giving the bike a "nose-high" attitude, or you have too much compression damping, making the suspension "pack down" -- either will make the bike run wide.


Hope that helps.

Good luck with it. I wish I had one.

Update,

Gonna tweak over the next couple of days & report back

Good to hear, Mad Si -- try raising it to +4 up to +8mm, made a world of difference on my J1 [^]. I hardly countersteer, more just lean in the direction of the turn (of course my hand pushes the bar a bit as I lean), and she turns without a fuss. [^]
