I have the Ohlins HO 029 shocks on my CT125. They have a typical internal reservoir. Preload can be adjusted by rotating the spring preload adjustment collar with the included pin tool. It doesn't require as much room to work with as a typical shock spanner wrench which is nice because the exhaust and the air snorkel partially obstruct access to the shocks when everything is together. Rebound can be adjusted by rotating a wheel above the bottom mount eyelet by hand. There is no compression adjustment.Even Ohlins HO029 shocks don't have Compression rebound i presume due to no Reservoir.
they aren't. for the money these sell for, you aren't going to find any that are that are worth a shit that claim to have those adjustments.. the height IS adjustable though, which is nice. preload is as well, but there is also a separate height adjustment. Im 210 and they suit me just fine. im currently running the YSS i have as well, but will probably swap back as they seem to be about the same performance wise. reality is, until the rubber bushing is swapped out for an actual bronze bushing or bearing in the swingarm pivot, its going to deflect the arm all over the place on any serious terrain or cornering.How adjustable are these for rebound and compression dampening? Even Ohlins HO029 shocks don't have Compression rebound i presume due to no Reservoir.
The shocks from Treatland are not adjustable, except for length and preload. But for the over 200 pound club, I think they work great.How adjustable are these for rebound and compression dampening? Even Ohlins HO029 shocks don't have Compression rebound i presume due to no Reservoir.
What is the red knob (Orange Arrows) for under the Top cover?
View attachment 6081That's a great question. My shocks came fully assembled, and without written instructions. Could be a rebound damper adjustment? I found Treatland to be very responsive when I emailed them. Perhaps they could explain it.
Digging up a thread here- Has anyone tested these in offroad situations? Or should these shocks be relegated to street use only?
i have a set of those as well. I had them on for about 5 mos, put the trealtand shocks back on . IMHO they work better, just a bit.
