The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for Yamaha FZ 1 and FZ 8 is built to deliver consistent damping control and clearer chassis feedback for road use. This unit is designed as a direct-fit rear mono shock solution, suited to riders who want a more controlled, composed feel without compromising day-to-day usability. Fitment notes cover models with or without ABS.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins road shocks carry across proven internal architecture and valving approach from competition development, refined for real-world surfaces. The aim is predictable grip, better stability through transitions, and damping consistency over longer rides.

Who this shock is for

Suited to FZ 1 and FZ 8 owners looking to improve rear-end control, traction feel and stability under braking and acceleration. Ideal if the standard rear suspension feels underdamped, inconsistent across mixed roads, or struggles to maintain composure when ridden harder.

Shock design & features

This is an STX 46 Street monotube rear shock with oil and gas separated to help maintain damping consistency. The design focuses on stable pressure control and consistent response as temperatures and riding conditions vary.

Tuning controls

This shock provides external rebound damping adjustment, allowing you to tune how quickly the rear returns after compression. It also includes a hydraulic spring preload adjuster to set ride height and balance for load changes such as luggage or a passenger.

Before you install

  • Confirm compatibility for your exact model and year, including ABS/non-ABS as applicable.
  • Set sag and preload correctly before making damping changes.
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and clearances and allow a short bedding-in period before fine tuning.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins units are built to be serviceable. Periodic servicing helps keep damping consistency and seal performance where you expect it, especially if the bike sees frequent spirited riding or long-distance use.
