The Ohlins KA735 STX 46 Street rear shock is built for Kawasaki Z 750 riders who want more consistent control and clearer chassis feedback on the road. Developed from Ohlins race-derived damping principles, it focuses on traction, stability and predictable response across changing conditions. The design uses a separated oil/gas layout to help maintain damping consistency during longer or harder rides.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX Street shocks are engineered to deliver controlled damping behaviour with a practical adjustment range for real-world road use. The KA735 is configured as a rear mono shock for the Z 750, with Ohlins’ focus on ride feel and mechanical grip rather than harshness.

Who this shock is for

  • Street riders looking for improved stability and composure compared with a worn or basic standard unit
  • Riders who want tuning access for different roads, loads, or riding pace
  • Owners chasing better feedback under braking and through corner exits

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 architecture designed for controlled damping response and traction
  • Oil and gas are separated to support consistent performance as temperatures and loads change
  • Single-shock rear fitment specific to the Kawasaki Z 750

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment

Base setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with an Ohlins baseline setting intended as a starting point for street use. Once installed, fine-tuning is typically done to suit rider weight, typical load (including luggage or a pillion), and preferred ride feel.

Before you install

  • Confirm overall condition of linkages, bearings and mounts before fitting a new shock
  • After installation, set sag and ensure damping adjusters are functioning smoothly through their range
  • Plan a careful test ride and adjust one change at a time to validate results
