The Ohlins YA044 STX 36 twin shock rear suspension is built for Yamaha XJR 1300 riders who want a more controlled and predictable rear end under real road conditions. Based on proven Ohlins architecture, it focuses on damping consistency and clear feedback to help the chassis settle and drive forward cleanly. This is an oil/gas separated design to maintain stable damping behaviour as temperatures change.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street shock absorbers apply race-derived damping principles in a package intended for everyday durability and repeatability. The emphasis is on traction, stability and tuning range rather than chasing extreme settings.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders using their XJR 1300 on spirited road rides and wanting more rear-end control.
  • Owners updating ageing suspension to restore composure and improve feel.
  • Riders who want an Ohlins twin-shock solution designed for street use.

Shock design & features

  • STX 36 twin shock layout suited to the XJR 1300’s rear suspension arrangement.
  • Oil/gas separated internal design to support consistent damping performance over longer runs.
  • Engineered to improve stability through cornering and during braking transitions.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment for controlling how the rear returns after bumps and load changes.
  • Spring preload adjustment to set ride height balance and sag for rider/load.

Before you install

  • Confirm compatibility with your exact Yamaha XJR 1300 model and year, including any non-standard linkages or ride-height changes.
  • Set baseline sag and check clearances after fitting, especially with aftermarket exhausts or luggage hardware.
  • Plan a structured test ride after installation, changing one adjustment at a time.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all performance dampers, this Ohlins unit is designed to be serviced. Periodic oil and wear-part replacement helps maintain damping consistency and protects internal components over the long term.
