I would like to compare with original unit, it big difference ?Hello All,
I need some advise or experience about Ohlins Fork Kit FKA 106 for XT1200.
Thanks....XT1200 Y2012
Absolutely notTotally different. Much larger window of adjustment. Much more refined. Built to the riders weight and how they ride his or her motorcycle. Totally custom for each person.
Cornflakes are not culturally relevant in France, maybe you weren't paying enough attention at school...Not sure who pissed in France's cornflakes, but they are a customized, high quality unit that can be set up to any rider with ease.
HI,I just ordered a set from Jaxon (Tabasco), and they are a big improvement over stock. Especially considering the stock were trashed after only 40K miles and provided very little bottoming resistance in the first place.

Pro's:
-seriously increased bottoming resistance - no more 'clang'!
-highly tuneable
-huge range of preload adjustment
-true split function, both adjustments on top
-stiff but plush damping from non-traditional compression leg (no rod displacement)
-extremely well thought out and user friendly design (no spring compressor required for example)
Cons:
-big $$'s
-requires one special tool to revalve
40K miles on stock suspension is really good. Bang for the buck you will be hard pressed to get better than Ohilns products. OTOH, being a 600+ lb bike, there is only so much you can do to improve the handling. I'm personally a big fan of Race Tech products. I'll be waiting until about the 10,000 mile mark and have mine re-valved and wearable parts replaced.I just ordered a set from Jaxon (Tabasco), and they are a big improvement over stock.
