RIQUE · 11-01-2012, 09:36 PM

Can anybody tell me what the main differances are between the Ohlins
TTX BM888 and BM930 BM931 shocks? not much info in their webpage.

Looks like 888 is the old version, and 931 is the current application for 2008-2011, 930 is for 2012 models. Product search - Öhlins Hope that helps.

888 is mk1 the others are mk2 for upto 2011 and 2012 onwards I think

hmmm I looked that up too but other than the application its hard to find out what is different internally. Sometimes they change a sticker and call it the MKII and set you back 2 grand. Just sayin

Buy from a reputable dealer, they will spring it for your weight and explain the differences.

Seems the new 931 has a new valve and piston.

Does anyone know if the 888 will fit a 2012? I've got a line on one for a good price and was wondering if there are any drawbacks.. The bike is used about 30% on track rest is mostly street.

The 2010 shock will fit a '12 but is 4mm longer so will increase the rear ride height
You can screw in the lower mount-although it will probably only shorten by about 2mm.
