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.
