The Ohlins YA548 STX 46 Street rear shock is built for road riders chasing consistent damping control and predictable chassis behaviour on the Yamaha XV 1600 and XV 1700 Wild Star. It uses a gas-charged, oil/gas separated design to help maintain stable performance as conditions change. Adjustment is provided for rebound damping and spring preload to tailor ride feel and support.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins street suspension know-how, this unit focuses on control, traction and stability in everyday riding. The STX architecture is designed to deliver clear feedback without harshness when correctly set up for the bike and rider.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders who want improved stability and grip compared with a basic, non-adjustable rear shock
  • Owners refreshing a tired rear suspension with a serviceable, tunable unit
  • Street riders who want consistent damping response over varied road surfaces

Shock design & features

  • Gas-charged, oil/gas separated monotube construction for consistent damping control
  • STX 46 Street platform intended for road use and predictable handling
  • Designed to improve traction and chassis stability under braking and acceleration

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to control return speed after bumps and weight transfer
  • Spring preload adjustment to set ride height and support for rider/passenger/load

Before you install

  • Set sag and preload first, then fine-tune rebound damping to suit your roads and riding style
  • Inspect linkage/bushings and mounting hardware condition during installation
  • After fitment, re-check fastener torque and confirm clearance through suspension travel

Serviceability/lifecycle

This Ohlins rear shock is designed to be maintained. Periodic servicing helps keep damping performance consistent and extends component life, especially if the bike sees regular use on rough roads.
