Can someone tell me how long the 20mm ID spindle hole is? I just took off my Teins and the sleeve is approx 45mm. I'm fitting Billies and they are around 39mm so a 6mm difference. Was wondering if the standard suspension was 39 or 45mm?

The crush tube in the bottom eye of the shocks is tapered.

Thanks Gary,

Yeah, but it ends up 20mm ID for the majority......anyway not really interested in that part.

What I have got is a 39mm hole length replacing a 45mm hole length. What I ended up doing was using a couple of big washers, they made 5.82mm, so almost the 6mm difference.

The back ones had a small 6mm wide by 1.9mm thick by 20mm ID 'ring' type spacer, but the front ones didn't have this.

Also like to know how important it is to index the spring locator dip away from the tyre, I couldn't get a couple of them to line up like that. If you used the top impression in the rubber ring, and then the bottom alloy one would line upfacing front or back rather than facing inboard.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
