Strange scratches on rear shock area

[slider]

got ohlins on mine like OP. jumped off loads of humps

However,can you give me a little advice about the Ohlins settings ?

Has the paralever "tension/torque/reaction arm thingy" been off, allowing the swing arm/rear hub to drop right down?

er, yes, but it's a custom built shock with extra compression damping shims & 160Nm spring

one up: no preload & rebound set as standard (12 clicks out? can't remember)

Changing paralever bearings, greasing driveshaft etc....routine maintenance.

Can be caused by wrong suspension adjustment?

the mark you have is from changing the shock,nothing more sinister than that, my adventure before i had the shock out had no marks as your pic, if you remove the bottom fixing bolt, then the top one the shock drops down , ( its bloody heavy to hold with one hand) and due to the then very steep swing arm angle clouts and makes a mark.

are you sure that this isnt a wind up thread

The mark was there before I changed the showa shock and know I see two more marks above it. Something's definately wrong.
