09 Stelvio
« on: July 21, 2017, 03:23:11 PM »
Rear shock is a little bouncey, does anyone know the standard spring rate on my 09 stelvio? Thanks. How about information on rebuilds/replacement?

My guess is Kansas City.

Not sure with regard to the original question. I found a spot where I'm pretty happy with mine and add a few cranks when I load it up. My suggestion is to play with the preload and see what it does for you. After that, You're not too far from Harpers. Get in touch with them and see what they could do.

Already been to Harpers, that's why I'm here. Have a guy that's going to disassemble, measure and check shock next week. Thanks

I fitted a, pretty much, new 2009 Stevio take-off shock to my Norge.

Worked well until I did a two-up, all day, ride on Tasmanian dirt back roads.
Damping was pretty well shot after that.

I believe the later Stelvio has a different part number for the rear shock.  Maybe it was improved?
