The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for Yamaha FZ6 is built to improve chassis control and consistency for everyday road riding. It uses a monotube design with a separated oil/gas layout to maintain damping stability as conditions change. With external adjusters, it allows practical tuning without adding complexity.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street suspension is developed from competition engineering, then refined for real-world road use. The focus is predictable feedback, controlled support through corners, and repeatable performance ride to ride.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders wanting more stability and feel than the stock rear end on an FZ6
  • Commuters and weekend riders who value confidence over harshness
  • Owners who want adjustability to suit different loads and road conditions

Shock design & features

This is an STX 46 Street monotube rear shock with a separated oil/gas arrangement for consistent damping behaviour. The architecture is intended to reduce fade and keep response stable during longer rides or repeated hard use.

Tuning controls

Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and compression damping, allowing you to balance grip, support, and ride comfort. Spring preload adjustment is also provided so sag can be set correctly for rider weight and typical load.

Before you install

  • Set rider sag and check static sag after fitting to ensure the spring preload is in the right range
  • Record the original adjuster positions before making changes so you can return to a known baseline
  • Inspect linkage bearings and mounting hardware condition during installation

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other Ohlins units, the shock is designed to be serviced to keep performance consistent over time. Periodic oil and seal maintenance helps preserve damping control and ride quality.
