spring says 1093-59/150 then there is another code number the last spring had the same code but said 140 as 150
getting mid 40s now loaded sag with 11 turns preload and 25 static will have to try it and see might poss need slightly stronger fork springs

cheesie your shock spring worries me.
The standard rear Ohlins spring is Ohlins 01091 - 31 / 95 / L084 and to my knowledge still is.
1st 4-5 nos= length of spring
2nd 2 nos= Ohlins code number
3rd 2-3 nos= spring rate
the problem is if you need heavier than 110 N/mm you must go to the shorter [150mm] 1093 series, it goes up to 210 N/mm
the numbers are;
1091-39/110...110 N/mm
1093-41/115...115 N/mm
1093-44/120...120 N/mm
1093-49/130...130 N/mm etc
i really struggle to believe you really need a 150 n/mm spring.
I wondered if you had a sachs shock but they are sprung 105 n/mm oe.
The only bike i can find at 1093 length and 150nm is an Ohlins shock for an early Fireblade.
Do yourself a favour and ring someone like Southern Cross or Griff in Tamworth and run it by them. I might be missing something but it just doesn't sit right with me.

I might give this a shot too once I've attempted to set the sag...
Worked well on all my previous bikes.
cheers spoonz I will check it out, the guy I took it to is the main ohlins dealer in the north and south of Ireland
found this while browsing seems the 2000 rsvr spring rate is 140nm http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=143260&highlight=ohlins+rear+spring
You appear to be right cheesie.
I dug a bit deeper and the 2000 bike has a shorter shock / longer linkage hence the shorter spring. Aprilia used a 15 kg spring for that year only and went to the 9.5 kg for all other years and models :dunno
Seems it came straight from Troy Corser's efforts in wsb after they couldn't get the original setup to work right.
amazing what filters down like the flywheel weight from the Cube on post 04 bikes.
Looking further seems the hot mod is the later shock from an 01 - 03 bike with the revised linkage.
Just for reference the standard Ohlins spring for 2001 to 2003 Mille R is 1091-31-95 L042
