The Ohlins KA805 STX 36 Adventure rear shock is built to improve control and comfort on rough ground for Kawasaki KLX 140G and KLX 150BF models. It’s designed for consistent damping on mixed surfaces, helping the bike stay composed through bumps and changing traction. External adjusters make it practical to tune for terrain and load without workshop time.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is engineered around stable damping behaviour and repeatable adjustability. The KA805 follows that approach with a robust architecture intended for off-road and adventure use where conditions vary quickly.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders using a KLX 140G or KLX 150BF on rough tracks, trails, and uneven terrain
  • Anyone wanting improved composure and comfort over longer rides
  • Owners who need a shock that can be adjusted to suit changing loads and conditions

Shock design & features

This is a mono shock with a 36 mm piston design and oil/gas separated layout for consistent damping control. The STX platform is designed to maintain stability as temperatures and ride intensity change, while keeping serviceability in mind for long-term use.

Tuning controls

The KA805 provides external adjustment for rebound damping and compression damping, plus spring preload to set ride height and support for rider/luggage weight. This gives you the core controls needed to balance comfort, traction, and chassis stability.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for Kawasaki KLX 140G and KLX 150BF before installation
  • Set sag/preload first, then fine-tune rebound and compression to suit terrain and pace
  • Inspect linkage bearings and mounting hardware condition so the shock can work as intended

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced to maintain performance over time. Regular oil and seal service helps keep damping consistent, particularly for bikes used in mud, dust, and wet conditions.
