The Ohlins FKS516 NIX 30 Street fork cartridge kit is designed to refine the front-end control of the Honda CB650R and CBR650R. It focuses on improved damping behaviour to help the fork stay composed under braking and during corner entry. The result is clearer feedback and a more consistent feel across varied street conditions, with the flexibility for occasional track use.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed as a complete cartridge upgrade, this kit replaces key internal fork components to deliver a more controlled and communicative front end. It is intended for riders who want a higher level of damping quality without changing the motorcycle’s overall character.

Who this kit is for

  • Riders seeking improved braking stability and front-end feedback on the road
  • Owners who want a more planted feel through mid-corner and corner entry
  • Street-focused setups that may also see occasional track days

Shock design & features

  • Ohlins NIX 30 Street fork cartridge kit for the front fork
  • Refined damping characteristics aimed at improved control and composure
  • Premium internal components for consistent damping performance

Tuning controls

The kit provides separate compression and rebound adjustment to help you tune support, comfort, and response for your riding style and typical roads.

Before you install

This is an internal fork cartridge upgrade and should be installed by a qualified technician with the correct tools and procedures. After installation, allow time to baseline the settings and confirm correct operation before pushing on-road or on track.

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.
