The Ohlins KA744 STX 36 Supersport rear shock is built for Kawasaki Ninja 400 and Z400 riders chasing more controlled damping and clearer chassis feedback for road and track use. It uses a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated design to help maintain consistent behaviour as temperatures and pace rise. This unit is intended as a tunable replacement for the standard rear shock, with a focus on stability and traction.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins supersport experience, the STX 36 platform is designed to provide predictable support under braking, corner entry and acceleration. The KA744 is configured as a rear mono shock for applications where damping control and repeatability matter.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders using their Ninja 400 or Z400 on normal road and track days
  • Lighter riders looking for a more suitable base spring and damping balance than a generic one-size setup
  • Owners wanting external adjustment to refine feel, grip and stability as tyres and conditions change

Shock design & features

  • STX 36 Supersport architecture with a gas-pressurised, oil/gas separated damping system
  • Rear mono fitment intended to improve control through a wider range of riding conditions
  • Race-developed internal layout aimed at consistent damping response and traction

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to manage chassis return and corner-exit stability
  • Compression damping adjustment to tune support under braking, bumps and load transfer
  • Threaded spring preload adjustment to set sag and balance front-to-rear attitude

Before you install

  • Confirm clearance, linkage condition and correct torque procedures during installation
  • Set rider sag and baseline adjusters before fine-tuning on road or track
  • Plan periodic servicing to keep damping performance consistent over the shock’s lifecycle
