The Ohlins YA327 STX 36 Twin rear shock set is built for the Yamaha XJR 400, delivering controlled damping and predictable chassis behaviour for road riding. Designed as a twin-shock rear suspension package, it focuses on maintaining traction and stability through changing loads and surfaces. Its gas-pressurised damping architecture is intended to keep performance consistent during extended use.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with an engineering-first approach to damping control and repeatability. The STX 36 Twin family is aimed at riders who value clear feedback and tuneability without compromising everyday ride quality.

Who this shock is for

  • Yamaha XJR 400 owners wanting higher damping control and stability from a quality rear twin-shock setup
  • Riders who want to tune the rear suspension to suit their pace, loads, and typical road conditions
  • Anyone replacing worn or inconsistent rear shocks with a serviceable performance unit

Shock design & features

Tuning controls

This unit provides adjustable damping to help balance comfort, traction, and chassis control. It features independent compression and rebound adjustment, allowing you to target support under load and recovery after bumps separately.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for Yamaha XJR 400 and your specific model year before installation
  • Check shock length and stroke against your current setup to maintain intended ride height and clearance
  • Inspect linkage, mounts, and fasteners for wear, and replace any worn hardware during installation

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be maintained, with internal parts and oil service intended to restore performance over time. Regular servicing helps keep damping consistent and protects internal components, particularly if the bike sees frequent spirited riding.
