The Ohlins YA557 STX 36 Twin rear shock package is built for the Yamaha XJR 1300 and suited to riders who want more composure, grip and feel from the back of the bike. It uses a pressurised damping design to keep damping consistent as conditions change. Adjustment is provided for rebound and compression damping, plus length for ride-height tuning.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street shocks draw on race-developed damping knowledge, then are configured for real-road use. The result is improved control through corners, better traction on exit, and more stable behaviour under load changes.

Shock design & features

  • STX 36 Twin rear shock configuration for twin-shock applications
  • Pressurised oil/gas design (not an emulsion shock) to support consistent damping
  • Supplied with matched springs as fitted by Ohlins for this application

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to manage return speed after bumps and load transfer
  • Compression damping adjustment to control squat and support under acceleration and braking
  • Length adjustment to fine-tune rear ride height and chassis attitude

Base setup (factory preset)

This unit is delivered with an Ohlins baseline setup intended to be a safe starting point for the XJR 1300. From there, fine adjustment can be made to match tyres, load, road surface and rider preference.

Before you install

  • Confirm correct fitment for your Yamaha XJR 1300 model and year, and check clearance around exhaust and guards
  • Set sag and verify full travel clearance before riding
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and alignment after the first rides

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviceable so performance can be maintained over time. Periodic servicing helps keep damping consistent and protects internal components from wear and contamination.
