R Nine T Ohlins rear shock installation. 

Thx. Great tutorial. Did it the same way. Even could remove the old shock without removing the wheel.

Change the Shock on a BMW R Nine T.... as above, but wheel NOT removed. I used a scissor and hydraulic jack to do it. Undid the bolts, jacket the back end up so wheel just off ground, removed shock bolts. Then slowly jacked the bike up so the swing arm would lower and the top of the shock would clear the underside of the subframe with the plastic tray on. When installing the new shock, i used a thin long screwdriver to make it easy to put the top bolt in through frame and new shock eyelet. Then used the scissor jack to gently lower it back down to align the lower eyelet for the bolt to pass through easily. In theory i could have done it all with just a scissor jack, if i had some block to stand it on, so that it could raise the bike high enough, like the hydraulic jack i used.

Just what I was looking for, installing a Nitron shock soon and its nice to have a heads-up so no surprises. Ohlins looks real good ! Thanks for the video btw 👍

Just a tip here, when I re-fit the shock, a Wilbers on mine, I put the Loctite into the nut on the upper and into the threaded part of the swing arm for the lower, and grease the unthreaded part of both bolts, that way the bolt / bush contact area is lubed and no Loctite gets into the lubed area. To me it's a really bad idea to have either end of the shock running dry metal to metal.

Nice work Scott - love the torque spec being called out. I saw the shocks they look awesome, I was looking at some for mine, got to check what spring rates I need to go with for my weight.

Great video, very helpful. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. And now I have an idea of how to install the rear suspension on rninet 😀

You just gained a nee follower! Great video! Thanks!

Great video Scott! I have upgraded to Tractive X-Perience-PA shock and Adreani Cartridges on the front BUT I'm still trying to find a way to increase ground clearance. Any advice would be much appreciated! thanks

Scott, can you make a video on how do you setup your whole suspension front and rear with the current setup? Also curious to hear from you how much better new rear shock is in terms of riding experience and what exactly you're missing from the stock one.

Curious what was the reason for this change? Was the bike handling badly in corners, bumpy please explain And the cost if you don’t mind. Beautiful Bike by the way

Hi mate. Back again with a question about your suspension if you get the time. Simply, did you consider the Wilbers offerings and if so what were your reasons for going this way? I’m inclined to go Ohlins because I like the brand and - maybe pointlessly - like the idea of matching forks while Wilbers forks seem to cost significantly more for the 9T. (keen on entire fork replacement over internals only.)

Also what headers do you have on, those are not OEM, are they also SC project like the muffler?

is it set to standard height or did you go for a +25mm?

Hi mate, where did you buy the Ohlins rear shock from?

Hi Scott, So did you get your front fork cartridges installed by a professional in a shop, or did you get it done your self? I know the rear shock installation is easy but the the fork internals not so much. I plan to do Nitron both front and rear. I know I can do rear shock my self, that’s why I am watching this vid, but front, well maybe. Just need some special tools, right.

What is the ride like afterwards do you need to mess around with the front forks?

so was it the night and day difference? was it worthy?

Hi Scott-what ohlins did you buy and did it give you the improvement you expected

What was rhe model of ohlins Kind regards Noel

You didn't even rev that thing and hear it whoosh
