This is a twin rear shock setup designed to be tuned to rider preference and load.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street suspension focuses on damping quality and repeatability, with components designed to maintain stable behaviour over varying road conditions. The STX family is intended to provide a clear step up in control while retaining a compliant ride when set up correctly.

Who this shock is for

  • Yamaha SR 400/500 owners upgrading from aged or basic twin shocks
  • Riders who want improved stability and feedback for everyday road riding
  • Those who want adjustability to suit different loads and riding styles

Shock design & features

This STX 36 Street setup uses a separated oil/gas design to help maintain consistent damping performance. The twin-shock configuration suits the SR chassis layout and is intended to deliver controlled movement and predictable grip.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and compression damping, along with spring preload to set ride height and sag. These controls allow you to balance comfort, traction, and chassis support for your roads and riding pace.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for Yamaha SR 400/500 and check clearance around guards, chain run, and exhaust
  • Set sag via preload before changing damping settings
  • If your bike has worn bushes or linkage/hardware, replace as needed to realise the benefits of the new shocks

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced, allowing oil and wear parts to be refreshed over the life of the unit. Regular servicing helps keep damping performance consistent and protects internal components.
