The Ohlins SU802 is a rear mono shock built around the STX 46 Adventure architecture for Suzuki GSX 600 F and GSX 750 F models. It uses a monotube design with a piston and shim stack to control damping consistently across varied road conditions. This unit is configured with rebound adjustment and threaded spring preload to tailor feel for load, tyres and riding style.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is designed with a focus on controlled damping, stability and feedback at the tyre contact patch. The aim is predictable behaviour over changing surfaces, with adjustments that make measurable changes rather than masking problems. This shock is intended to be set up correctly and then maintained over its service life.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders of the GSX 600 F or GSX 750 F looking for improved consistency and control from the rear end. It is a good match for sport-touring and general road use where maintaining chassis stability matters under braking, acceleration and changing road surfaces. It also suits riders who want adjustability to accommodate different loads.

Shock design & features

This is an oil/gas separated monotube shock (not an emulsion type), helping keep damping more consistent as temperatures and workload increase. The internal layout is based on Ohlins STX design principles, with controlled oil flow through valving to manage wheel movement. As a rear mono unit, it is designed to work with the bike’s linkage and geometry as fitted.

Tuning controls

• Rebound damping adjustment to control how quickly the shock extends after being compressed.
• Threaded spring preload to set ride height and balance for rider weight and luggage.

Before you install

• Confirm the application match for your exact model and year, and inspect linkage bearings and swingarm pivots before fitting.
• Set sag and preload first, then fine-tune rebound to suit grip levels and the bike’s balance.
• After installation, recheck fasteners and clearances through full suspension travel.

Serviceability / lifecycle

This Ohlins rear shock is serviceable and intended to be maintained with periodic oil and seal replacement to keep damping performance consistent. Service intervals depend on kilometres, conditions and workload. Regular maintenance also helps protect internal wear parts and preserves adjustment range.
