Title: Need help with Ohlins replacement spring Post by: Tyler1150 on May 08, 2010, 02:40:46 PM I know that this has been posted many times but i am having trouble finding an answer within old threads. I am 200lbs and My existing spring (95 M9000 is rated for a much smaller person.
Could anyone tell me which replacement spring to consider? I recall the number being something like 1092-31.... Thanks! Title: Re: Need help with Ohlins replacement spring Post by: suzyj on May 08, 2010, 03:56:07 PM I'm not 100% sure of the geometry of the M900, but the spring I'm buying to fit to my 695 is an Ohlins 01091 31/95, which has a 95kg/mm rate.
Ducati up north have a table on their website which recommends 10n/mm (98kg/mm) for a 200 lb rider on an M900. The closest spring is an Ohlins 01091 34/100, with 100kg/mm rate. Here's the link to their tables: http://www.ducati-upnorth.com/tech/suspensionspring.php (http://www.ducati-upnorth.com/tech/suspensionspring.php) Bear in mind that a large change from the stock spring may necessitate revalving.

at the time I was 215-220 I had 11.0 on mine Title: Re: Need help with Ohlins replacement spring Post by: He Man on May 09, 2010, 07:17:03 AM let me know what spring you need. I have on hand a brand new ohlins spring that ive been trying to get rid of.
I wrote down the actual rate somewhere, but id have to find it. THe only thing is, i dont know if your spring is different from a modern monsters spring. The only thing i know is, it is bolt on replacement for the OEM springs of the older monster line up (pre 696).

Title: Re: Need help with Ohlins replacement spring Post by: He Man on May 10, 2010, 05:17:58 AM what sort of weight of person is the original spring meant for? being a progressive spring. its suppose to be decent across a broad range of weights. but really, maybe 150tops.

I'm putting the spring on a 749s/999 shock. I had foolishly assumed the springs for monster shocks and sbk shocks were interchangeable. Is the difference unloaded length?

I had foolishly assumed the springs for monster shocks and sbk shocks were interchangeable. Is the difference unloaded length? they are interchanable. I have 3 springs siting next to me. one is a 999 stock spring, the other an ohlins spring that fits on a monster shock, and the other is a monster S2R spring. the only difference is length. |
