Ohlins front springs owners.... - SV650.org

On the curvy SV, with preload adjusters what's their recommended air gap and spacer length?

Are they meant to use the standard spacer and gap? There's nothing on their website about setting up the front end.

I set them up with everything else as it says on the tin, and it worked well. PLayed with air gaps and never found anything noticably better than standard, and some that were worse.

Yep, that's what I'm finding too. Just wondered if they altered the gap any for the heavier spring.
