you may or may not find this interesting. I put ohlins ttx suspension on my bike and wanting to try a softer rear spring (I have a lot of old springs from a variety of bikes) I found that a stock titanium 4.7 YZ spring I had fit the ohlins shock perfectly and it worked great last sunday. just for the hell of it I got my parcel scale out.
