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\u003eMeasured spring rate 26 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 46 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 200 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 66420-026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Rate Holds\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Öhlins dealer can re-valve the unit, because the shim stack is a documented, serviceable assembly. Production has stayed in Sweden since the company was founded in 1976. The unit is rebuildable: seals, shims and oil are catalogue items, not a reason to buy a new one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 200 mm free length and 46 mm inner diameter, this spring is dimensionally interchangeable with anything of the same size — the rate is what makes it a different part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Rate Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the end of the range where small-bump compliance matters more than resistance to diving. A softer rate keeps the tyre loaded on a poor surface, which is worth more than outright support on most roads. On a machine ridden solo and mostly on the road, softer is often the honest choice. Ride quality on the road is decided by rate first and damping second.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Rear Spring Decides\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rear spring carries the rider, the pillion and the luggage; the front carries only part of it. Because the linkage is progressive on most modern machines, a small change in rate moves the sag more than riders expect. Progressive springs change rate through the stroke, which suits machines with little travel and a lot of load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins offers rates in defined steps so a change can be made in one direction at a time rather than by guesswork. Ask us with the machine and rider weight and we will tell you which rate in this size to take. Rate is the variable that depends on the rider, not on the machine. Two people on the same bike may well want two different numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe job needs no special tools beyond a fork spring compressor and a measuring rod for the oil level. Öhlins states the oil and the air-gap for this application — both are part of the setting, not a detail. Spring preload spacers may need adjusting to keep the installed length correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: no separate certificate. The spring changes the rate, not the construction of the fork, and is treated as a service part.\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.
