The damper can only control the spring it is given; the wrong rate makes every click a compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 46 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 280 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e185 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 10 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 00281-74\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated yellow\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\u003eEvery unit is dyno-tested against the curve held for its part number, not sampled from a batch. Production is Öhlins' own in Sweden, and the tolerance on the rate is what separates these from a generic replacement. Öhlins sets a baseline for each part number on the machine it was developed on, so it works before anything is adjusted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize and Rate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree length 280 mm, inner diameter 46 mm, rate 10 N\/mm — those three figures define the part completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing 10 N\/mm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA soft rate favours grip and comfort over support: the fork moves early, which keeps the tyre loaded on a poor surface. Lighter riders usually end up a step or two below the factory rate once sag is measured properly. Comfort and grip come from the spring moving early; this is the end of the range where that happens. A road machine spends most of its life in the first third of the fork's travel — that is the part the rate governs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Rear Spring Decides\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRear spring rate sets ride height and static sag, and those two decide the chassis attitude before any damping click matters. Because the linkage is progressive on most modern machines, a small change in rate moves the sag more than riders expect. 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\u003eÖhlins builds springs to dimensions rather than to model lists, so the question is always the same: does the diameter fit, does the length fit, and is the rate right for the rider? This is a service part in the proper sense — it wears, it settles, and replacing it restores what the suspension was designed to do. There is no model list for this size because the spring is a dimensional part: it fits whatever fork it physically fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Fitting Involves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the fork has not been serviced recently, bushes and seals are worth replacing while it is apart. Öhlins states an air gap for this application, and that figure is part of the setting rather than a detail. Öhlins part numbers are stamped on the packaging rather than the spring, so keep the label with the setup notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: a spring is a like-for-like replacement of a wear part and carries no separate type approval. Where Öhlins states an approval for a particular motorcycle, it is named under Applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins recommends that its suspension is fitted by an authorised service centre.
