The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the Kawasaki Z 750 is built for riders who want more composed damping control on real roads. It is a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design intended to keep damping consistent as conditions change. The focus is predictable chassis behaviour, improved support and clearer feedback without making the bike feel harsh.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street suspension is developed from proven racing principles and adapted for day-to-day riding demands. The aim is stable damping performance, controlled movement and confidence-inspiring feel through corners, braking zones and rougher surfaces.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders who use the Z 750 on the street and want more control and consistency than a basic stock shock.
  • Owners setting up for varied loads and conditions, such as commuting during the week and spirited rides on the weekend.
  • Anyone chasing clearer rear-end feedback to help with stability and traction management.

Shock design & features

  • Rear mono-shock configuration for the Kawasaki Z 750.
  • Gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated architecture to help reduce fade and maintain consistent damping.
  • Ohlins STX 46 Street family valving approach, developed to balance comfort with controlled support.

Tuning controls

This rear shock provides rebound damping adjustment to fine-tune how quickly the shock extends after being compressed. It also includes a threaded spring preload adjuster to set ride height and sag for rider weight and loading.

Before you install

  • Set sag and preload first, then use the rebound adjuster to control rear-end response over bumps and during corner exits.
  • If you regularly carry a passenger or luggage, revisit preload and rebound to keep the chassis balanced.
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and clearances once the suspension has cycled through its travel.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all performance dampers, the shock benefits from periodic servicing to keep oil condition, seals and damping performance consistent. Regular maintenance helps preserve feel and control over time, especially with frequent or demanding use.

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.
