DescriptionThe whole story▼

Öhlins part number 00480-34 is a shock absorber spring rated at prog.22.7-35.5 N/mm, 230 mm long with a 46 mm inner diameter. Rear spring rate sets ride height, static sag and how much of the damper's stroke is actually usable.

Key Features

  • 130 mm of usable stroke
  • Powder-coated yellow
  • Inner diameter 46 mm
  • Measured spring rate prog.22.7-35.5 N/mm
  • Progressively wound
  • Free length 230 mm
  • Öhlins part number 00480-34

Why the Rate Holds

Seals are specified for temperature stability rather than for the lowest unit cost. Service parts stay available for years after a part number leaves the current price list. The finish is applied after setting, which means the coating does not affect the rate.

Size and Rate

Öhlins holds the free length at 230 mm and the inner diameter at 46 mm across this rate range, so moving up or down a rate changes nothing about the installation.

Rate and the Linkage

Adding a pillion or luggage changes the rear load enough that the standard rate stops working properly. Öhlins supplies most of its shocks without a spring precisely so the rate can be matched to the rider rather than averaged. Preload adjusts sag within a rate; it does not change the rate, and no amount of it will rescue a spring that is wrong.

Applications

Öhlins 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? Selection is by measurement. If the diameter and free length match your fork, the remaining question is the rate. This is a service part in the proper sense — it wears, it settles, and replacing it restores what the suspension was designed to do.

What Fitting Involves

Springs are supplied ready to fit; no cutting, grinding or packing is needed. Öhlins part numbers are stamped on the packaging rather than the spring, so keep the label with the setup notes. Fitting is a fork-oil job: the legs come apart, the springs go in, the oil level is set to specification.

Road Approval

Road 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.

Fitting and Setup Service

We are an authorised Öhlins service centre, so the installation does not have to be your problem: we fit and set up Öhlins components in our own workshop. Ask us when you order and we will include the work.
