4.9 & 5.2 is the weight rating of the spring. Most Gassers came with 5.2 as stock spring

Thanks very much.
Good info as I have been told the 5.2 is the wrong one

[Fred1956]

Might be for your weight. What is your weight? Geared up and ready to ride?

so what is the difference where one spring is 10 and the other is 8? what do those numbers mean?

[Fred1956]

If I remember correctly the first set of numbers (596) is the series and the 8 & 10 are the order they are listed in the Ohlins parts catalog. Pretty sure there is a 5.0 spring in between the 4.9 & 5.2- it would be stamped 596-9/50

I'm only having a guess, but could it be the diameter of the wire coil in mm.
8mm does sound a bit small but 4.9 is a light spring rate.

Yes, the 06 200 has 50nm spring as std. I am about the same weight as you and use a 5.6 kg spring from Enduro Engineering. I use 0.45 kg springs in the forks.

Thanks Anders, I thought it was too soft. I'll check the springs too because they do dive.
