    Hi girls and guys :)
    I have an CBR1000RR SP and also some problems with it :(

    In the middle of the track day I noticed that front suspension doesn't feel the same like when I started track day.
    Then I checked Spring Preload adjusters and they have been turned almost 2 turns from where I setup them.

    Conclusion :
    During ridding adjusters come loosen and they make suspension softer.

    I made a call to my dealership and after 2 months they gave me new Ohlins.
    After short ride I noticed that I have the same problem, called them again but now I got answer like:
    Ohlins contacted us and they said that it is normal for that front shocks to get loosen by 25% after every 100 km.
    So I am pissed off now and I would like to know what you would do?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Think your dealer is giving you a load of bull crap! Never heard of suspension softening so quickly like that, I'd give a suspension specialist a call and see if they give the same answer ref ohlins

    Total nonsense. I'd be letting your dealer know they are talking shit and go get a second opinion!

    As above, that's complete nonsense. Those are not some cheep rubbish, its Ohlins, it will not just "loosen" by itself. I would be following this up and kicking up stink with the dealer.
