 | Shock Service I am thinking about buying a Penske shock for my bike. DOing some research, I was reading through their service manual and they recommend a one year or 30 hour of track time service interval. Service consists of changing seals and oil etc. Costs about $90 for Penske to do it. I then went and looked at Ohlins and their rec is for I think it was 30,000 km... Anyone have a Penske or can comment on the need for shock service? The bike is dual street/track. | |

 | Re: Shock Service I had a penske 8987 on my RC. I had traxxion go through it and service it. Made a difference to me for sure. I seriously doubt an Ohlins can do that long on the street without a least a fluid change... |

| Re: Shock Service I guess an annual service for the shock isn't that big a deal. considering the longest I have owned a bike is less than two years.... |

| Re: Shock Service I never realized they had to be rebuilt so often. Wonder how many people buy the ohlins or other aftermarket stuff and dont rebuild them for yrs  |

| Re: Shock Service The stock shock on my 929 has now covered 33000 km's/ two summers of mostly road and some track riding and I can feel that it is due for replacement..It sure doesn't do things like it used to anymore. I didn't believe that a stock shock would wear that fast, but now that I have experienced it myself I know.. I'm trying to save up for an Öhlins and a fork job this winter...   |
