A rear spring matched to rider and load keeps the chassis attitude where the factory intended it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 60281-04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length 150 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured spring rate 17 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter 46 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Öhlins Makes Them\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeals are specified for temperature stability rather than for the lowest unit cost. Rates are offered in defined steps, so a change can be made in one direction at a time. Every unit is dyno-tested against the curve held for its part number, not sampled from a batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Numbers That Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins holds the free length at 150 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\u003eChoosing 17 N\/mm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the end of the range where small-bump compliance matters more than resistance to diving. A soft rate favours grip and comfort over support: the fork moves early, which keeps the tyre loaded on a poor surface. A softer rate keeps the tyre loaded on a poor surface, which is worth more than outright support on most roads. Ride quality on the road is decided by rate first and damping second.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow a Rear Spring Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins sells rear springs separately precisely because rider weight varies more than machine weight does. A spring that has settled in service sits shorter than new, which quietly lowers the bike and steepens the steering. The rear spring carries the rider, the pillion and the luggage; the front carries only part of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are replacing a sagged original, measure its free length first — a tired spring often measures several millimetres short. Ask us with the machine and rider weight and we will tell you which rate in this size to take. 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Fitting Involves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitting is a fork-oil job: the legs come apart, the springs go in, the oil level is set to specification. Öhlins states the oil and the air-gap for this application — both are part of the setting, not a detail. Both legs are done together, and both take the same rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: not applicable to the spring on its own. Öhlins issues approvals against complete suspension units, not individual springs.\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.
