The Ohlins YA148 STX 36 Twin rear shock set is built for the Yamaha SR 500, delivering controlled damping and a composed feel from a proven twin-shock layout. As an STX 36 Twin unit, it focuses on consistent behaviour and clear feedback through the stroke. This model uses a pressurised internal design rather than a remote reservoir.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street shocks are developed from the same engineering approach used in competition, with an emphasis on predictable damping and stable chassis control. On classic twin-shock motorcycles, that translates to improved support and more confidence over varying road surfaces.

Shock design & features

  • STX 36 Twin configuration for rear twin-shock applications
  • Pressurised monotube architecture to keep damping more consistent under use
  • Matched pair intended to work as a system on the rear of the motorcycle

Tuning controls

This shock set provides external rebound damping adjustment and compression damping adjustment, allowing you to balance support, grip and ride comfort for your tyres, load and road conditions.

Base setup (factory preset)

Supplied with an Ohlins baseline setting as a starting point. Final tuning should be made on the bike, considering rider weight, spring selection and intended use.

Before you install

  • Confirm your SR 500 model and mounting hardware compatibility before fitting
  • Check clearances at full suspension travel and with the chain/belt alignment set correctly
  • After installation, set sag and then fine-tune rebound and compression to suit your roads

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced to maintain damping quality over time. Periodic servicing helps keep performance consistent and extends component life, particularly if the bike is used frequently or on rougher surfaces.
