    Do any of you guys know if its easy to adjust the compression and rebound knobs once the shock is fitted. Looking at photos on internet and it looks like it would be very hard. Ohlins TTX 2009, cheers

    Have you looked at the owners manual?

    Looks easy enough to me - they usually are.

    If you've got a mark one ttx they are awkward mate and hard to get to the adjusters. Mark 2s are slot easier as they Moved the knobs.. Is yours onnthd bsvk facing the engine

    Iain, its not the adjustment that concerns me, its access to the knobs to make the adjustments.

    It's doable (without the hugger) on my 09 with the right allan key, no problem. Agree that the mkII version would be much easier!

    Maarten,
    I do not need alen keys to adjust, its two well serrated/grooved knobs under the cylinder. Looking at photos on the net it looks like their tucked in behind swing arm with no way of getting fingers on them.
