Rate decides where in the stroke the fork sits; damping only decides how fast it gets there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180 mm of usable stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 08622-80\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 400 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 8.0 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 36 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eManufacture and Tolerance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins sets a baseline for each part number on the machine it was developed on, so it works before anything is adjusted. The Öhlins part number is stamped on the unit, so its specification can be looked up years later. Rates are offered in defined steps, so a change can be made in one direction at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Numbers That Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 400 mm free length and 36 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 middle of Öhlins' range — the rate most riders of average weight end up on once sag is set properly. A middle rate balances support against compliance, which is why Öhlins uses it as the baseline. A mid rate balances support under braking against compliance over the surface, which is why it is the usual starting point. 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\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. Öhlins offers rates in defined steps so a change can be made in one direction at a time rather than by guesswork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Fitting Involves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA spring that is the correct length still needs the preload spacer checked, since installed length is what sets sag. Oil level is measured from the top of the tube with the fork compressed and the spring removed. The job needs no special tools beyond a fork spring compressor and a measuring rod for the oil level.\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 components deliver what they promise once they are fitted and set up properly.
