Default Ohlins rear shock owners.

....With remote preload adjusters. When adjusting the preload - does your adjuster click? Mine just has a smooth action, so adjusting from two particular settings is tricky - I have to count rotations rather than clicks from max. Is this just the behavior or is it possible to change it?

Thanks
Luke

The hydraulic preload adjusters don't click .

Might sound a silly question lol but did you actually mean to ask about the damping adjusters?

No mention of "clicks" on the preload settings, where it does on the compression and rebound settings. So I would assume it's turns......

Oh and what's tricky about counting rotations....if you can count clicks , counting rotations should be a problem surely.....no?

No clicks!!

To be honest, the adjustment doesn't have to be that fine ... from memory,its summin like 20+ turns of total adjustment ... so 1/32turn inaccuracy in settings isn't gonna mean jack!!

Yeah my life sucks! Did I mention that it is 18c outside and bright susnhine.....and its winter?!

No - I definitely meant preload adjuster! It is setup for my weight riding solo but my girlfriends has now got herself a lid, so I was hoping for a clicky preload adjuster, so I can just go up 20, back 20 for example. To be honest, she should really just take the bus! I have had to put back on my pillion pegs and rear seat. it's just not cricket.....!
