The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the Yamaha FJR 1300 is built to improve damping control and chassis stability for road use. It uses a gas-separated design to maintain consistent damping through changing temperatures and sustained riding. This unit is intended to be tunable and serviceable, with adjustments suited to rider load and real-world road conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins suspension architecture used across performance road and racing applications, the STX 46 Street range focuses on controlled support, grip and predictability. The valving philosophy is aimed at stable behaviour under braking and clean drive when you pick the bike up and accelerate.

Who this shock is for

Suited to FJR 1300 riders who want a more controlled rear end than stock, especially when riding briskly, carrying luggage, or changing between solo and two-up use. It’s also a good fit if you value clear feedback from the chassis rather than a soft, under-damped feel.

Shock design & features

This is an Ohlins STX 46 Street rear mono shock with oil and gas separation to help reduce fade and maintain damping consistency. The internal layout is designed for stable pressure control and repeatable performance across a wide range of road inputs.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to balance support, comfort and grip to suit tyres, road surface and load. With independent control of these circuits, you can reduce wallow and improve stability without relying on one adjustment to solve everything.

Before you install

• Confirm fitment for your exact Yamaha FJR 1300 model/variant before installation.
• After fitting, re-check fasteners and ensure there is no interference through full suspension travel.
• Any time you change tyres, carry load, or alter ride height, re-evaluate your damping settings.

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins unit is fully serviceable. Routine servicing helps keep damping consistent over time and is recommended if performance drops, oil condition deteriorates, or the shock has seen extended use in harsh conditions.
