My dad just bought a used set of Ohlins front shocks, set #HO471
there PRX36's with dual rate springs, high-&-Low compression adjustment and rebound ajdustability. My dad put them on and I'm pretty sure he set them up fairly close to what there suppost to be, but when I stand on the front bumper they bottom. Are they suppost to do that:confused: My Works shocks don't do that on my EX.

They should not bottom out if you are just standing on the front bumper. Sounds like they may need rebuilt

Not to hijack your thread, but I have elkas on my yfz and I can bottom them by standing on the bumper and kind of bouncing on it, is this normal?

unless you weigh 1000lbs you should not bottom out any shocks just by jumping on your front bumper:p

I weigh 185 and my shocks are brand new.....if you mean faded by overheating, they were not rode before I stood on the bumper. :confused: I dunno.
