Adding a pillion or luggage changes the load enough that the standard rate stops working.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 00596-11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 54 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e143 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 57 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 270 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Öhlins Makes Them\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins publishes recommended sag figures for its springs, so the setup has a reference rather than a feel. Materials read unremarkably on paper — aluminium, steel, nitrogen — and the difference lies in how precisely they are made. Öhlins manufactures in Upplands Väsby, north of Stockholm, and assembles and tests every unit there before it ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize and Rate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensionally this is a 57 mm × 270 mm spring; within that envelope Öhlins offers a range of rates, and this one is 54 N\/mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere This Rate Belongs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the middle of Öhlins' range — the rate most riders of average weight end up on once sag is set properly. From here it is easy to move one step in either direction once you have ridden it. If you are unsure and close to average weight in full kit, this is the sensible starting point. 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\u003eRate and the Linkage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rear spring is the cheapest part of the suspension and the one that decides the most. Two riders 20 kg apart on the same motorcycle genuinely need different rates, not different clicks. A spring that has settled in service sits shorter than new, which quietly lowers the bike and steepens the steering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe safest way to choose is by static sag: set the target figure, and the rate follows from whether you can reach it with preload. Öhlins offers rates in defined steps so a change can be made in one direction at a time rather than by guesswork. Where Öhlins lists this size against a particular unit, the listing is a starting point rather than a boundary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Fitting Involves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRate and preload are separate adjustments: get the rate right first, then set sag with preload. Check the free length against the old springs before fitting — a sagged original often measures short. 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\u003eThis is not a part to rush. Öhlins recommends installation by an authorised service centre, and we are an authorised Öhlins service centre — fitting, servicing and setup all happen here.
