As I mentioned above I used 1.0kg/mm Ohlins springs destined for a Honda Firestorm.
I always use Ohlins fork springs and have used spring rates from 0.85kg/mm up to 1.0kg/mm.
Weight and riding style come into it as does front to rear weight bias and available fork travel. Then you also have preload and the air spring to play with

I had the forks setup before even riding the bike. The company took into account my weight and the track we would be riding on to get it as close as possible to perfect, within the limitations of what could be done.

Just because Ohlins springs aren't listed in their catalogue, it doesn't mean there aren't any that fit

Also, I was surprised at what fork oil weight went in, but then if I told you that I'd have to kill you

I have just had a mail from marzocchi regarding springs and oil weights for race use and they recomend 5w EEK
