Ohlins shocks and fork manuals

#1 Post by Syltiz » Thu Jun 04, 2009 2:54 pm

Anyone got these saved or a valid link? The Ohlins website does not have these manuals anymore.

Probably - I've certainly got paper copies that, as a last resort, I can scan.

I'll have a look for you.

I've posted up a video to servicing Ohlins forks in the Aprilia Technical sub forum


EDIT:
On this PC I've found the following .pdf files:
  • Ohlins Basic Info Guide
    Ohlins Ultimate Tuning Guide
    Ohlins Shock Owners Guide
I'll have a look on my other PC when I get home.
I have a printed manual about servicing Ohlins forks - I would have thought I must have a pdf of that too - unless I just printed it.

Send me your email and I'll copy them to you.

I don't think so as they are not the fork seals, just dust covers.

Even better ..... you can download them from the old Ohlins website ..... which I know doesn't exist any more
:smt002

A REALLY useful website is the InternetArchive.
It spends it's time trawling the internet and archiving it.
If you have an old link, log on to the InternetArchive and put your link into the search box then click to see what it has.
If you are lucky you will find the webpage you are looking for - maybe a number of archives from different dates.

I tried it for the Ohlins website and it came back with loads of archives (hundreds) - the one that I've linked below is just after a bit of digging through the most recent and the manual links seem to work OK.
If they are not all there, search another archive and you might be lucky.

This is the link to the InternetArchive homepage:
http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

This is the link to a page from which you can download the manuals:

If there are some that I have that you can't find on ther, I'm quite happy to send them to you.
