That's interesting.
My forks say FG9250 with a build date of 2012 02
My bike was in the very first shipment(May 2012).
What was your build date?
Anyway, I Googled the model of my forks(OHLINS FG9250) and it came straight up with the full spec sheet from OHLINS for the 1199 Panigale S from when it was developed for DUCATI.
The information on the sheet gives everything about them.
They are indeed FG R&T 43 forks, and the fork oil that's spec'd from factory is listed as art no 01309, which is the very same OHLINS fork oil you are also looking at. It is the current OHLINS reference fork oil and supersedes their previous fork oils.
The spring is listed as part no 04744-10 (10 N/mm).
Of particular interest.
The spec sheet lists the oil level as 220 mm (*)
(*) = no preload tube, no spring.
Cheers
Nope. Don't over think it. Do the best you can, maybe hang it upside down if you're super worried.but do I really need to remove the damper rod/cartridge?
It's the same semi-active. The S suspension (xx99S/V4S) merely uses electronic adjusters to turn the rebound and compression needles. One fork is rebound, the other compression. This is opposed to Showa forks which have rebound and compression on each fork. The V4 may be more advanced into how it makes adjustments, but the forks are very similar. I can't readily spot differences when looking at pictures. 2022+ V4S forks are gas charged, so those are different.I thought the new Panigale V4S had active suspension.
Ohlins runs between about 110 mm and about 160 mm typically.
If it exists, which I don't think it does, post it. There are air gap charts for Ohlins cartridges, which he's not using.He should find the air gap chart for his fork part number as I mentioned before.
Not any more.Ohlins publishes these.
Pure ......... The documentation on the products they offer to OEMs is near non existent. If you have better knowledge, post it. By that I don't mean post that you drew something with a slide rule fifty years ago and that somehow makes you smart, but rather post something relevant to the OPs concern.Ohlins has really good documentation.
All awesome info--this is a great community---
