G'Day,
So I bought a used Ohlins shock from FleaBay for a reasonable price.
It was listed as an YA628 for on '06 FZ1. Apparently came from a race bike. I doubled checked with seller about compatibility & condition etc.
So I spent a lot of time yesterday trying to fit it. The piggyback fouls on the underside of the subframe (by a lot) and the lower links didn't line-up nice either.
The seller has assured me it came from their customers '06 FZ1.....and they've offered my a full refund regardless.
So, my questions/thoughts are:
1. Does anyone know if there is another part needed to make it work?
2. I suspect that it is an R1 shock that has been used on an FZ1 track bike?.....or it was originally a Gen 1 shock that was modified to fit a stripped-down Gen 2 track bike...??
3. Would it be worth sending it to the local Ohlins service shop to have it modified with a remote reservoir ??
4. Should I just send it back & get my moolah back...?
