Too stiff and the front loses feel over bumps; too soft and it dives under the brakes. Rate sets that balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 287 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-wound, constant rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 08627-90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 9.0 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir gap 70 mm as specified by Öhlins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 28 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins recommends oil 01330 for this application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Öhlins Makes Them\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins manufactures in Upplands Väsby, north of Stockholm, and assembles and tests every unit there before it ships. Seals are specified for temperature stability rather than for the lowest unit cost. The finish is applied after setting, which means the coating does not affect the rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins lists this spring for Ducati 748 (1994–1999), Ducati 748 Biposto (1995–1999), Ducati 916 (1994–1998), Ducati 916 Biposto (1995–1998), Ducati 996 (1998–2001), Ducati 996 Biposto (1999–2001). Öhlins names these machines because it has measured the fit — but the deciding factors remain diameter, length and rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Numbers That Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 287 mm free length and 28 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\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. Rates here suit a solo rider of typical weight on a road-going machine. 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\u003eWhat Fitting Involves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins states an air gap for this application, and that figure is part of the setting rather than a detail. Torque the fork caps to the manufacturer's figure; the springs change nothing about the assembly torque. Oil level is measured from the top of the tube with the fork compressed and the spring removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: covered by a German ABE for the models named above; the certificate is in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins recommends that its suspension is fitted by an authorised service centre.
