KTM 690 rear shock

[Tourist-Biker]

I've got a 14 plate 690R Rally, bought second hand with plenty of upgrades & suits me fine. Only gripe I have is the rear shock, it sits low at the back & when loaded up with gear it's way too low.
Question, what are my options? Fit the older 690 shock (think it was longer?) don't want to go down the Ohlins route ( I know they're good as I have one on my AT Rally) but cost a fortune...Thoughts..

Hi Just a thought has a previous owner fitted 300mm travel forks off an exc ? seen lots do this but never did anything with the shock, If so you need to lengthen the shock by 4.5mm or see John at rally raid for a new longer shock as fitting a new spring will not help

Like I say just a thought

Contact Chris Hockey at DR shox he can both re valve and lengthen (both ends) for a reasonable price with huge improvements. He has done my last 2 690's . The good thing is he talks things through to understand what you need then carries out the necessary changes. Highly recommended.
