GasGas EC 300 2011 need new shock spring

[drorsdd]

ok so finally i got to the desired numbers, called Lars from Ohlins Sweden with my problem, he said i need to measure the spring length as the best way to know the preload is set right.

stock spring is 270mm and should be at 258-260 on preload, came out my spring was not compressed enough and was at 263mm....a few turns later i am at 258mm with static sag of 30mm and rider sag with gear on at 110mm (with full camelbak and tool pack will probably be at 115).

bike handles great, front still stiff tough.

i also went through with him on the setup for the suspension rear&front and this are his recommendations:
rear shock (Ohlins 888):
static sag 30mm
rider sag with gear 110-115mm
Rebound: (30 click total): recommnded +24-26 from full close.
Comp: (22-23 clicks) +12-20 from full close (stock comes with +16)
High speed comp: +1.5 turns open from fully closed.

front zooks:
static sag 30-40mm masured from the end of the top tube along the tube (not strait to the ground).
dynamic sag 60mm.

for my front dynamic sag is still too little at 20-25mm, i guess either wait for them to break in (500km so far) or soften the preload in the front.
hope this info helps.
