maz20 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I have an Ohlins rear shock for the FZ-07 https://www.ohlins.eu/en/products/motorcycle/ya-419--4779/ https://www.ohlins.eu/download/db/Ohlins_DTC_mounting-instructions-ya-419-english--00002047.pdf which seems to says it is adjustable for rebound only... But, there is that little screw thing on top of (what I'm guessing is) the internal gas reservoir... Doesn't that do anything? (Like, adjusting for compression damping) ? : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member howworkclutch Posted November 2, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted November 2, 2018 no thats for the reservoir for the upgraded shock. if you open that you'll probably regret it. -HowWorkClutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstyammerha Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I believe that is the port where the factory pressurizes the shock. The remote reservoir shocks that I've disassembled have about a 6mm threaded port so the male reservoir hose end screws into the body. The remote reservoir Ohlins hose probably goes into that position but in a bigger hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz20 Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 Interesting, I was wondering since the general Ohlins shock manual--not necessarily for this shock model--mentioned compression damping could be adjusted by a mechanism that looks similar to that bolt/nut...

twf Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 It is both, where reservoir hose is attached if shock was set up with reservoir and for nitrogen charge if there is no reservoir. In your case it is just for charge. You can take that little screw out and nothing will happen. There is rubber under it, needle is forced through rubber to charge shock.

I have the same shock. I just had mine serviced by my Ohlins rep. I asked the same questions, and got the same answers- ""W.O.T. until you see god, then brake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstyammerha Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 some years ago on a car show I saw a episode on the building of automotive shocks at a Monroe plant that I think was in Tennessee. it was very interesting but I forget how they charged the gas shocks during production.
