Hi,

This winter I am upgrading my suspension. Right now Im thinking Ohlins rear and Race-Tech fork springs and the Jaws uk bar riser with adjustable pre-load. Any-one with comments and suggestions it would be appreciated.

The Ohlins lists the shock for the 2000 as the same as the carbed birds, with a different part number for 2001 on. Any one able to confirm that the suspension had some minor changes starting in 2000?

PM Helvet. I think that is the correct spelling of his name.

It's not so much the suspension that has changed in 2001, it's the battery-box (or whatever you call it in English) and the surroundings of the shock-top that has changed. The replacement shocks for the old models will no longer fit the later models (no room), so the changed the replacement shocks.

I know of several shock-manufacturers who have different models for the years after 2001.
