The Ohlins YA510 STX 36 Twin is a rear twin-shock unit designed for Yamaha XJR 1200 and XJR 1300 applications. It’s built around Ohlins’ STX architecture to deliver stable, controlled damping and consistent feel across varied road conditions. This model uses a gas-pressurised design to help maintain damping consistency during sustained use.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street shocks are developed with an engineering focus on chassis control, tyre contact and predictable feedback. The STX platform is intended to provide a well-supported ride without masking what the bike is doing.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders who want a more controlled, confidence-inspiring rear end on an XJR, particularly when pace increases or road surfaces are inconsistent. A twin-shock layout also appeals to owners who want performance improvements while retaining the bike’s original design intent.

Shock design & features

This is a gas-pressurised rear twin-shock setup from the Ohlins STX 36 family. The gas pressurisation supports damping stability and helps reduce fade during extended riding. As a matched pair, it’s intended to deliver balanced response across both sides of the swingarm.

Tuning controls

This shock set provides rebound damping adjustment. It also allows spring preload adjustment to set ride height and support for rider load and riding style.

Base setup (factory preset)

The shocks are supplied with an Ohlins baseline setting intended as a starting point for typical street use. From there, rebound and preload can be tuned to suit load, tyre choice and preferred feel.

Before you install

  • Confirm compatibility with your specific Yamaha XJR 1200 / XJR 1300 model and year, including any aftermarket linkages or chassis modifications.
  • Set sag via preload before making rebound changes, and adjust in small steps with repeatable test rides.
  • Inspect mounting hardware and bushes during installation and torque fasteners to the motorcycle manufacturer’s specification.

Öhlins Motorcycle Suspension Warranty

New Öhlins motorcycle shock absorbers, front forks and cartridge kits supplied by Teknik Motorsport are covered by the applicable Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Teknik Motorsport is an authorised Öhlins Service Centre and administers warranty claims in accordance with the Öhlins warranty conditions. The service intervals below form part of the maintenance requirements for Öhlins products supplied and supported by Teknik Motorsport.

This warranty is in addition to the consumer guarantees that apply under the Australian Consumer Law.

  • Registered motorcycles — non-competition road use Five years, subject to correct application, installation, setup and servicing every: 20,000 km or two years, whichever occurs first.
  • Registered motorcycles — adventure and light off-road use Five years, subject to correct application, spring rate, setup and servicing every: 10,000 km or annually, whichever occurs first.
  • Unregistered or competition motorcycles Two years for eligible Öhlins MX and Enduro products, subject to inspection every ten hours and servicing every: 30 operating hours or annually, whichever occurs first.

Compliance with the applicable service interval is a condition of the Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty. Evidence of servicing may be required when a warranty claim is assessed.

A seal leak, loss of damping performance or internal wear arising after the prescribed service interval has been exceeded will be treated as a service or maintenance issue rather than a manufacturing defect.

Warranty repairs

Öhlins suspension products are designed to be serviced and repaired. Where a warranty claim is approved, the normal remedy is repair of the customer’s original suspension unit using genuine Öhlins replacement parts.

Replacement of a complete shock absorber, fork or cartridge kit is not automatic and would normally occur only where the product has suffered a manufacturing failure that cannot reasonably be repaired. This is at Ohlins discretion. 

Öhlins spare parts and service kits

Öhlins spare parts, seals, bushes, service kits, springs, fluids and individual components are covered only against defects present when supplied.

No fixed age-based warranty applies to wear items, service parts or consumable components. Wear, deterioration, contamination, incorrect installation and damage caused by another component are not manufacturing defects.

Öhlins gives the customer a meaningful five-year warranty on products (Units), provided the suspension is maintained as suspension should be maintained. Teknik supports that warranty locally, can inspect the product properly, and can repair it with genuine parts rather than discarding it.
