Thought some might find this informational.
I recently sent a question to Ohlins USA about how the S46DR1 (YA 009) shock correlates to rider weight. The following is their response:
Öhlins rear shock springs are typically set-up as follows:
Stock spring: fits a dressed rider weight of 176# plus as additional 132# load (bags, passenger, etc). Total weight the stock spring can support: 308#
One step up in spring rate: fits a dressed rider weight of 220# plus as additional 132# load (bags, passenger, etc). Total weight this spring can support: 352#
Two steps up in spring rate: fits a dressed rider weight of 264# plus as additional 132# load (bags, passenger, etc). Total weight this spring can support: 396#
Three steps up in spring rate: fits a dressed rider weight of 308# plus as additional 132# load (bags, passenger, etc). Total weight this spring can support: 440#
And it keeps going up from there!
