23 v4 r shock length is 216
The V4R service manual I have is for the 2023 V4R bike. At least they updated the pictures anyway. Ohlins gives the spec as 310mm +4/-2 so 314mm max. At 316mm you’d be past the mark on the threads, which I thought was there to indicate max safe length.
 
Holy $h!t, Andy has been shouting into the wind haha!!!

Same same. Not sure where Andy's fat fingered 316 mm comes from but who cares tbh

What does MotoSpec say?
 
That's what I thought. If I tried to adjust the length so that ring would show past the lock nut there was a very obvious binding to the threads, almost as if Ohlins was saying stop. 🤷‍♂️

It seems the Ohlins spec, 310mm +4mm/-2mm seems to be on the money.

I took a snapshot of this back in 2022 from this site. The interesting part is that it was some semi-famous fast guy, I forget who and can't find the thread, that was fast using a V4S in its dynamic mode. My maxing out all of the dynamic settings, you'd just be letting the bike adjust more.

Warning

The shock absorber has a maximum distance indicated by a groove on the threaded section of its eyelet.

Warning

Once the maximum centre distance has been reached, the groove is aligned with lock nut (5) when this is tightened.

If, with lock nut (5) tightened, the groove protrudes with respect to the lock nut, the shock absorber centre distance

used is NOT CORRECT (too long).
