I haven't been out for a spin yet (first had to tackle the little issue I had with the brake pad pin). But it is the same shock I had on my previous Ten. So I am pretty sure the results will be satisfactory.

Only difference is the hydraulic pre-load adjuster. Since I ride with different loads (luggage, pillion, ...) regularly the manual wrench adjusting on the previous one was quite painful and a PITA.

The shock is a Wilbers 641 with the additional hi/low speed compression dampening and the hydraulic per-load adjusters.

Hi Duibhek, great write up, very concise

I see that hein genrickh are doing the wilbers with 5 year warranty, pretty good.
My unit was 7 months out of warranty and the company is looking after it, as it was an unusual failure, so mine should be back in a week or two

Hi there!

Do you guys know what rear shock would fit the ABS-version? Will the one you described above fit?

Thanks!

would anyone know of a shock of another bike that could be interchangeable with our xtz?

As far as i searched, no other shock can fit to our bike..
