ohlins rear shock

[steve speed]

yes you could be right then. sounds like you need a stronger spring.

You could ask your local Ohlins dealer or failing that give Andy White at Kais a call. He will be able to supply the correct rated spring.

andy is the man i deal with he knows his stuff,,and they are allways very helpfull there

talked to my local dealer he rekons he might have a few old springs of different rates I can try before I decide which one is best he also rekons it is a bit soft, thing is its better than standard but I know it can be better again with some patients

put a 9.5nm spring in, tried it today it is far better,

@Cheesie: Have you measured static/dynamic sag after fitting the 9,5 N/mm spring?

Is that marked with 0,95 as mine are 0,85 or is it a completely different measurement??

You have a 8.5 N/mm spring? What static/dynamc sag do You have, and a somewhat more personal question, what does your bathroom scale show on a góod day?

I wiegh 100kg about 107kg with my gear on I am getting 38mm loaded sag just withing ohlins recomended figure without adjusting the preload and 12mm static, I was supossed to do a little fiddling my last track day but I binned the bike on my second session the bike felt much better until then, the front now feels a little soft for the track but good for the road could be the damping 8.5nm springs in the front, yes killer it is 0.95/0.85nm

Didn´t see this until now...
Haven´t done the real deal lifting bike up etc. Should really do it....
Other than that i´m having trouble getting the loaded sag into road recommendations....20mm-ish and quite hard..
I´m now at 91Kg in the morning birthday suit...
