The Ohlins FGK242 NIX 30 fork cartridge kit is designed to improve front-end control and feel on the Yamaha YZF R7. It focuses on delivering more consistent damping behaviour through quality internal components. The result is a calmer, more communicative front end under braking and through corners.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins cartridge kits are built around stable damping control and rider feedback. This kit targets improved confidence at the front tyre by refining how the fork responds to load changes.

Who this cartridge kit is for

  • YZF R7 riders wanting stronger front-end feedback and composure
  • Road riders looking for a more controlled fork through braking and corner entry
  • Riders doing occasional track use who want tunable damping without changing the whole fork

Shock design & features

  • NIX 30 fork cartridge design for refined damping characteristics
  • Premium internal components for consistent performance and durability
  • Aims to improve braking stability and mid-corner feel

Tuning controls

  • Separate compression and rebound adjustment to tailor the fork behaviour to your riding and tyres
  • Supports a wide range of setups for street and occasional track conditions

Before you install

  • Confirm the kit matches your exact Yamaha YZF R7 model and year before fitting
  • Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct setup and function

Need help choosing?

If you’re unsure whether a cartridge kit is the right step for your R7, decide based on whether you want improved front-end feel under braking and more consistent control through corners. It’s a focused upgrade when the stock fork no longer matches your pace or preferences.

Öhlins Motorcycle Suspension Warranty

New Öhlins motorcycle shock absorbers, front forks and cartridge kits supplied by Teknik Motorsport are covered by the applicable Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Teknik Motorsport is an authorised Öhlins Service Centre and administers warranty claims in accordance with the Öhlins warranty conditions. The service intervals below form part of the maintenance requirements for Öhlins products supplied and supported by Teknik Motorsport.

This warranty is in addition to the consumer guarantees that apply under the Australian Consumer Law.

  • Registered motorcycles — non-competition road use Five years, subject to correct application, installation, setup and servicing every: 20,000 km or two years, whichever occurs first.
  • Registered motorcycles — adventure and light off-road use Five years, subject to correct application, spring rate, setup and servicing every: 10,000 km or annually, whichever occurs first.
  • Unregistered or competition motorcycles Two years for eligible Öhlins MX and Enduro products, subject to inspection every ten hours and servicing every: 30 operating hours or annually, whichever occurs first.

Compliance with the applicable service interval is a condition of the Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty. Evidence of servicing may be required when a warranty claim is assessed.

A seal leak, loss of damping performance or internal wear arising after the prescribed service interval has been exceeded will be treated as a service or maintenance issue rather than a manufacturing defect.

Warranty repairs

Öhlins suspension products are designed to be serviced and repaired. Where a warranty claim is approved, the normal remedy is repair of the customer’s original suspension unit using genuine Öhlins replacement parts.

Replacement of a complete shock absorber, fork or cartridge kit is not automatic and would normally occur only where the product has suffered a manufacturing failure that cannot reasonably be repaired. This is at Ohlins discretion. 

Öhlins spare parts and service kits

Öhlins spare parts, seals, bushes, service kits, springs, fluids and individual components are covered only against defects present when supplied.

No fixed age-based warranty applies to wear items, service parts or consumable components. Wear, deterioration, contamination, incorrect installation and damage caused by another component are not manufacturing defects.

Öhlins gives the customer a meaningful five-year warranty on products (Units), provided the suspension is maintained as suspension should be maintained. Teknik supports that warranty locally, can inspect the product properly, and can repair it with genuine parts rather than discarding it.
