I'm fairly certain they are all Sachs I've been seeing. (Maybe Showa on mine?) Mine on my US model TE610 has the HSCD and LSCD adjusters on an angle part of piston/reservoir. LS is a small straight slot screw and HS is the outer large knob that can be hand turned. I have seen other shocks (on Ebay) including in my owners manual as well as in the 99 parts catalog with a (blue anodized) star type double adjuster vertically on top of the piston/reservoir . On Ebay there is 2002 shock listing and its the same as mine, with the angle point comp adjuster. Does anyone know what the deal is? I am still looking into the older and newer parts catalogs to see if maybe my machine has a later model shock on it.
I got it after downloading all the parts manuals from Zupin Germany 98-2000 all have the top adjuster for comp Sachs shock 2001, 02 and on (570) has the angle comp adjuster for easy access So my 1999 has at the oldest a 2001 TE570 rear Sachs shock on it.
anyone know if the overall shock length is the same? I may purchase one of the top comp adjuster ones off Ebay as a parts shock for my suspension guy to work with.
adding to this thread I just bought the older series shock with vert comp adjuster because it was only 100 bucks. Do any of you know ups and downs about the older series shocks? I will use it as a mule with my suspension tech.
