DIS 05/23/11 KLS Ohlins Rear Shock 46DRS Standard - R1200GS (04-05)

46
Piston diameter in mm.

D
Monotube high pressure gas type of shock absorber with internal reservoir in the main body. Pressurisation of the fluid is made with nitrogen. The pressurisation prevents cavitation of the fluid and the shock absorbing action is therefor more even.

Adjustment Features

R
Damping is set with the knobs, that have a normal right hand thread. By turning them clockwise the damping action is increased, and by turning them counter clockwise it is reduced. The knobs have definite positions with noticeable "clicks", making it easy to count to the right setting. Rebound damping action affects the charesteristics of the motorcycle most. The setting knob is located at the bottom on the piston rod. It can be adjusted in about 40 steps.

S
This is a hose mounted hydraulic spring preload adjuster. With this device you can change the setting for the spring. Increase by turning clockwise and reduce by turning counter clockwise (see Fig. to the right) NOTE: The spring pre-load affects the ride height, it does not affect the spring stiffness. Therefore, on models with a linkage to the shock absorber, the suspension may actually feel harder when you reduce the pre-load and the shock absorber gets into the harder range of the link system.
