Where is the best place to send Ohlins twin shocks to get serviced and/or valving changed?

Try Sean at SOS suspension, Penrith. He does alot of work for Sydney based VMX guys, does Ballards Maico's the list goes on. He is also able to do early Yammy monoshocks which the others don't do. Give him a call great guy.

Let's face it some dirt bikes were never meant to be ridden.

My Husky CR 125 1981 Ohlins were re built and re valved by Sean from SOS Penrith Sydney.

Sean has also done work for Dean Burt and Sean Hardman - both fast and fussy.

Not like me.

Increase the oil volume in the forks and ad a few pounds of air or go to harder springs... Simple

Not sure

I have got to call Sean

Spring rate seems ok I reckon they need more oil.

In theory the last 30% of travel the spring is not relavent only oil/pressure.
At least that's how it is on a modern??

Not sure on the old one???? But I assume it works the same???

It has emulators fitted as well??
