A rear spring matched to rider and load keeps the chassis attitude where the factory intended it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 46 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 32 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 190 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 00281-73\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e108 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Rate Holds\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eShafts are hardened and surface-treated so the seal has a consistent surface to run against. Each spring is set before it is measured, so it will not settle and lose rate in service. Rates are offered in defined steps, so a change can be made in one direction at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Numbers That Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 46 mm bore and 190 mm length are the two figures that decide whether it physically fits; 32 N\/mm decides whether it suits the rider.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Rate Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLighter riders usually end up a step or two below the factory rate once sag is measured properly. On a machine ridden solo and mostly on the road, softer is often the honest choice. Rates in this range suit lighter riders and machines that spend their time on real roads rather than smooth circuits. Road surfaces are the hardest test of a spring rate, because the fork has to cope with both a smooth stretch and a broken one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow a Rear Spring Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe damper can only control the spring it is given; the wrong rate makes every setting a compromise. A spring that has settled in service sits shorter than new, which quietly lowers the bike and steepens the steering. A rear spring is the cheapest part of the suspension and the one that decides the most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelection is by measurement. If the diameter and free length match your fork, the remaining question is the rate. A spring is one of the few suspension parts that is genuinely interchangeable: same bore, same free length, and it goes in. Nothing about the installation changes across a rate range: the mounting, the length and the bore stay the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fork legs come off, the springs are swapped and the oil level is reset — half a day in most workshops. If the fork has not been serviced recently, bushes and seals are worth replacing while it is apart. Preload spacers usually need shortening or lengthening so the installed length stays correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: not applicable to the spring on its own. Öhlins issues approvals against complete suspension units, not individual springs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins recommends that its suspension is fitted by an authorised service centre. We are one, and we do the work here: installation, servicing and a proper setup.
