Ohlins Fork Springs

Most owners of the R model have complained about the fork springs being to harsh on the ohlins...i contacted Ohlins and they recommended ... 08790-90 with 9,0 N/mm springs..... the stock ones are 9.5 N/mm...has anyone gone this way using the 9.0 rather than send the forks out for re valve etc

 

Thanks Matt.... any adjustments in the forks alters the sag..... i have already set the forks up to what you suggested, less re/comp.. just waiting until the weekend to test...pre 5... comp 15... reb 12.. i will just play with the comp testing on the highway, see how it turns out if it dont i will go for the 9.0 springs, i changed the fork oil few weeks back.

 

I ended up on my test ride stopping and starting making final adjustments forks Pre 5 out from hard.. comp 20...reb 10...rear.... Pre 2 threads showing above top ring.... comp 20..reb11.. feels much better than before, not perfect but i will leave it at that... before i had to much rebound, going over the top ...now the forks come up and stops... got this sorted after watching Dave Moss.. adjustments made when oil was hot in suspension

 

Well guys after all this adjusting i decided to order new springs still to harsh over any uneven roads here in Cali...getting the 9.0 N/mm
Ohlins Fork Springs FGK 200 9.0 N/mm 08790-90

 

I fitted the new springs today the old ones had no numbers, the first owner must have fitted these stiff springs could be progresive.. i can now set the sag, before i had the pre up and down little adjustment.... feels much better in garage....These ohlins springs are not cheap... 135 quid for the pair inc UPS.......$174

 

New springs sorted setting the rider sag 5 turns in from full soft..40mm sag...have to do road test for the comp and reb... and bring the sag to 30/35mm
