The Ohlins KA745 STX 36 Supersport rear shock absorber is built for the Kawasaki Ninja 400 as a focused performance unit. Developed from Ohlins racing experience, it is intended to deliver consistent damping control and clearer chassis feedback. This model is supplied for racing use (WSS 300 spec).

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

STX 36 Supersport shocks are designed to give a controlled, predictable rear end under braking, turn-in and drive. The KA745 is configured as a rear mono-shock for the Ninja 400, aimed at riders who want a dedicated track-oriented suspension setup.

Who this shock is for

  • Ninja 400 riders setting the bike up for circuit use and structured suspension tuning
  • Racers and track-day riders chasing more stability and repeatability from the rear end
  • Owners who want an Ohlins unit that can be serviced and revalved to suit tyres, pace and conditions

Shock design & features

This is an Ohlins STX 36 Supersport rear shock using a gas-pressurised design to help maintain damping consistency as temperatures rise. The internal layout uses separate circuits for compression and rebound damping so adjustments can be made with less cross-effect.

Tuning controls

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

Base setup (factory preset)

The shock is delivered with an Ohlins baseline setting intended as a starting point for tuning. Final setup should be confirmed with sag and damping adjustments to suit rider weight, tyre choice and track conditions.

Before you install

  • Confirm the application is for Kawasaki Ninja 400 and that your linkage/ride-height rules match your race class requirements
  • Install with correct torque procedures and check full clearance through suspension travel
  • Plan a setup session (sag first, then rebound and compression) to establish a stable reference before making changes
