The Ohlins YA714 STX 46 Street rear shock is built to give the Yamaha XV 1700 Road Warrior a more controlled and composed rear end on the road. It uses a gas-pressurised damping design to help maintain consistent performance as conditions and temperatures change. Designed as a direct-fit rear mono shock, it focuses on predictable feel and usable adjustment.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street shocks draw on the same damping principles used across the brand’s performance programs, tuned for real-world road use. The objective is clear feedback, stability and repeatable response, without making setup unnecessarily complex.

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 Street series rear mono shock for street riding
  • Gas-pressurised design to help reduce fade and maintain damping consistency
  • Separate oil and gas architecture for stable damping behaviour

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to control how quickly the rear returns after bumps and load changes
  • Spring preload adjustment to set ride height attitude and suit load/rider weight

Base setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with an Ohlins-fitted spring and a baseline setting intended as a starting point for the Yamaha XV 1700 Road Warrior. Fine tuning is typically done by setting sag with preload first, then refining rebound to match road conditions and riding style.

Before you install

  • Confirm all mounting points, clearances and hardware condition before fitting
  • Set preload and rebound to a known baseline before the first test ride
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and settings after initial kilometres

Serviceability/lifecycle

As a serviceable Ohlins unit, the YA714 is designed to be maintained with periodic oil and seal replacement to keep damping consistent. Regular servicing helps preserve ride quality and control over time, especially when ridden in wet or dusty conditions.
