The finish is applied after setting, which means the coating does not affect the rate. 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\u003eThe Numbers That Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins holds the free length at 220 mm and the inner diameter at 46 mm across this rate range, so moving up or down a rate changes nothing about the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Rate Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRates here suit a solo rider of typical weight on a road-going machine. From here it is easy to move one step in either direction once you have ridden it. Mid rates suit a solo rider on a road-going machine with occasional spirited use. 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\u003eRate and the Linkage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins supplies most of its shocks without a spring precisely so the rate can be matched to the rider rather than averaged. Adding a pillion or luggage changes the rear load enough that the standard rate stops working properly. The damper can only control the spring it is given; the wrong rate makes every setting a compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRate is the variable that depends on the rider, not on the machine. Two people on the same bike may well want two different numbers. Nothing about the installation changes across a rate range: the mounting, the length and the bore stay the same. This is a service part in the proper sense — it wears, it settles, and replacing it restores what the suspension was designed to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Fitting Involves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on both legs in one session so the fork stays symmetrical. Note the original oil level before draining — it is a useful reference even when Öhlins specifies its own. Torque the fork caps to the manufacturer's figure; the springs change nothing about the assembly torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: none is issued for springs as such — they replace an existing component of the same function. Any model-specific approval is listed under Applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins components deliver what they promise once they are fitted and set up properly.
