The Ohlins YA556 STX 36 twin rear shocks are built for the Yamaha XJR 1300, focusing on controlled damping and consistent ride support for road use. This is an oil/gas separated design aimed at maintaining stability and feel as conditions change. Adjustment is provided so you can tailor the response to your load and riding style.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins road shocks draw on proven damping architecture to deliver clear chassis feedback without harshness. On the XJR 1300, the twin-shock layout suits riders who want a more composed rear end while keeping the bike’s classic configuration.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders refreshing tired original rear suspension with a modern, serviceable unit
  • Owners who want improved control for spirited road riding and varying road surfaces
  • Riders who regularly change passenger or luggage load and want adjustability to suit

Shock design & features

This STX 36 Twin arrangement uses an oil/gas separated layout to help keep damping consistent. The twin shocks support the XJR’s rear suspension geometry while providing a more controlled response through the stroke.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to manage how the shock returns after a bump or corner load
  • Compression damping adjustment to tune support over bumps and under acceleration

Base setup (factory preset)

The shocks are supplied with an Ohlins baseline tune intended to suit typical street riding. From this starting point, rebound and compression adjustments let you refine comfort, grip and stability to match tyres, roads and load.

Serviceability/lifecycle

These are fully serviceable Ohlins units. Routine servicing helps maintain damping performance over time, particularly for bikes that see regular use or harder riding.
