V4 - rear spring too stiff, from where to get softer?

lauri911 · May 1, 2018

Does anybody know how to find specs about V4's Sachs rear spring?
Our dealer cannot help, they don't know anything about that.

Suspension expert said that this spring is too stiff for me and recommended to change it - but I cant find what N/mm it has right now and from where I can find softer spring for it?

Thanks in advance...

Not quite, it doesn't say anything about the Showa fork rates nor the Sach rates. it's there for the V4S at least.

I can find very much information about Ohlins, but nothing about Sachs.
Like this one: http://ducatiforum.com/ducati-v4/30570-panigale-v4-ohlins-ttx-gp-rear-shock-info.html

But about Sachs, there is nothing written on the spring itself, nor on the shock - no model no., part no. etc. Totally blank.

Have you tried Ducati Omaha?

I've tried contacting everyone short of contacting DNA technical director, doubt that person will give up that info.

My suggestion would be to set your sag, and then check the free sag to see if the spring rate is in the range of correct for you. For example, set your front sag to 35mm with you sitting on the bike, then check the free sag without you on it and it should be in the realm of 15-25mm. If it is, you're good. For the rear try 25mm and 5-10mm respectively. If it's outside of that range, then likely you'd want to get a different spring rate.
