The Ohlins YA505 rear shock is a track-focused unit developed for Yamaha YZF R6 fitment where consistent damping control and clear chassis feedback matter. Built around Ohlins race-derived internal architecture, it is designed to support accurate setup changes without compromising stability. This shock uses a separated oil and gas layout to help maintain damping consistency during sustained hard use.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins shocks are engineered to provide controlled wheel movement and predictable response across braking, turning and drive. The YA505 follows this approach with a design aimed at repeatable performance and straightforward tuning.

Shock design & features

  • Rear mono shock configuration for Yamaha YZF R6
  • Separated oil and gas design to support stable damping behaviour
  • Ohlins-focused valving approach intended for track conditions

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment and clearance for your specific Yamaha YZF R6 model and any race hardware (linkages, ride-height parts, exhaust)
  • Set sag and baseline damping after installation, then adjust one change at a time to match tyres, pace and track surface
  • Check fasteners and mounting points during initial heat cycles and after early track sessions

Serviceability/lifecycle

This is a rebuildable Ohlins shock designed to be serviced. Regular oil and seal maintenance helps preserve damping consistency and protects internal components over time, particularly with frequent track use.
