urgent need OEM 2002 998s BIP Ohlins Spring Code need to find out the code on the OEM Ohlins spring used on the 2002 998s. i think it is 01901/26 -85 but would be good to check with someone else who has one does any one know if its ok to use a longer 01902 spring with these shocks (ith the cosrrent rate of course)? is the only limiting factor how much thread there is on the adjusters?
Just looked on mine and it's a 1091 16/64 LO42. That's on a 2002 built Bostrom but should be the same as a standard 998s? Can't help on the adjuster threads.
thanks for that mines a biposto, bostom is monoposto from factory so lighter spring i think but spring length is prob the same 1091 any other 998s BIP owners out there can confirm thanks ali
thinking i need to go heavier im about 17st in kit. I recently found myself having trouble at portimao running wide when driving out of corners and the back stepping out the trye tech at focused and i spent a bit of time beefing up the compression damping and preload which helped but we did have to turn the damping almost all the way up, and the rider sag was still a little over 40mm, i was still tearing through rear tyres so we came to the conclusion the shock either needs a stiffer spring or an overhaul (or both it is a 10 yr old bike after all and i doubt the shock has ever been serviced by its previous owner) i think the stock spring on the 998s BIP is an 1091-26/85 spring, according to the table on ducati up north i would prob need a -29/9 or evn -31/95 rate spring for my lardy ass i can get hold of a slightly longer (10mm) 1092-31/95 rate spring for not much money so was hoping to try that before splashing out on a shock refurb (and potentialy revalving if required) so was wanting to know if the longer spring would work thanks ali
id speak to one of the ohlins dealers they would advise on both spring length and whether the std valving would work too.........i bet the cost of your rear tyres would cover the service etc on the shock....for the future i found these near me as it happens, they ere very knowledgable and helpful too BG Motorsport Ltd- Suspensions- Official Ohlins Centre & Official Sachs Service Centre
