Question Ohlins rear spring rate....

The stock rear Ohlins spring on our Hyper "S" is a 01092-29 which by the Ohlins spring chart is a 6.7" long spring, the (1092). The (29) is the spring rate which is 514 lbs in. The next heavier springs are the 01092-(31) at 542 lbs in. & the 01092-(34) is a 571 lbs in.
The question I have is what is the rider weight range of each spring? I tried to find out the info, with NO luck, does anyone know? TIA Alex

the stock spring (prob similar) seems to be good for a 65-70kg rider for street riding. my sag figures were pretty good on it aparently.

this might be of help....looks like the rider weight range is between 10-20lbs depending on the spring rate? Shazaam's write-up is a good one, the link can be found below. If it's of no help then we'll blame him.

I contacted Ohlins directly and for my weight (250 with gear) they recommended a 01092-36. I replaced it (very easy to do) and set my rear sag right at 30mm. I also replaced the plastic preload adjuster ring with a aluminum one (Ohlins part# 00531-01) while I was there.
