Anyone have one, or know where I can find one reference the springs on the DU511 1098s rear shocker? Cheers
1091-34/100 is an example of a code you will find on an Ohlins shock spring. Using the below charts you can “decode” what you are looking at. • The 1091 refers to the diameter and the length of the spring. Almost all Ohlins springs have a diameter of 57mm so that’s easy, the 1091 in this case means it has a 160mm length (when not on the shock) • The -34 is the spring rate. For some unknown reason Ohlins uses it’s own numbers to label rate, but below on the rate conversion chart you can cross reference this number. In this case a -34 is a 100nm or 10.19kg or 571lb spring • The /100 is the springs rate in Newton meters, but without the decimal. In this case the /100 means it’s a 100nm spring. Art. nr.

Dan Kyle 1098 Shock Spring Recommendations NOTE!!!!! This is with 12 to 16 MM of preload on the spring!!!!!! Note weights are rider weight with gear, or take your weight and add 15 lbs for gear. 140-160 Lbs 80.0 Nmm 160-180 Lbs 85.0 Nmm 180-200 90.0 Nmm 200-220 95.0 Nmm 220-240 100 Nmm 240-260 105 Nmm 260-280 110 Nmm How To Read An Ohlins Spring Code 1091-34/100 is an example of a code you will find on an Ohlins shock spring.

In this case the /100 means it’s a 10.0nm spring. pinched from here <http://www.ducati-upnorth.com/tech/suspensionspring.php>
