The Ohlins FKA106 Adventure cartridge kit is a front suspension upgrade designed for Yamaha XT 1200 Z Ténéré models fitted with Kayaba forks. Built for adventure riding, it focuses on maintaining control and comfort over rough surfaces while supporting stability when the bike is loaded. It is intended to deliver consistent feel across long days and changing terrain.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins cartridge kits replace the internal damping components inside the fork to give more controlled oil flow and a more tunable front end. This approach targets improved predictability on corrugations, rocky climbs, and uneven tracks. The goal is suspension you can set up for your riding and keep consistent over distance.

Who this kit is for

  • Adventure riders looking for better front-end control on mixed surfaces
  • Riders who cover long distances and want reduced fatigue from harsh impacts
  • Owners carrying luggage or a pillion who want improved stability from the fork

Shock design & features

Tuning controls

This kit includes external adjusters to support quick tuning as conditions change. Use them to refine feel for comfort, control, and stability depending on terrain and load.

Before you install

  • Confirm your bike is the Yamaha XT 1200 Z Ténéré with Kayaba forks before ordering
  • Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct assembly and setup
  • Plan to set sag and adjust the fork after installation to suit your weight and typical load

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like any performance suspension component, regular servicing helps maintain consistent damping and long-term reliability. Service intervals and settings should be matched to how and where you ride.
