The Ohlins STX 46 Street rear shock for the Yamaha XVS 650 Drag Star is built to improve control and consistency in real-world road riding. It uses a gas-pressurised damping system to help maintain stable performance as conditions change. The design is aimed at delivering clearer chassis feedback and more predictable traction.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins street shocks draw on proven suspension engineering to deliver controlled damping and a composed ride. The focus is on usable adjustability and dependable performance for everyday riding, not just ideal conditions.

Shock design & features

  • STX 46 Street architecture developed for road use
  • Gas-pressurised design to support consistent damping control
  • Rear fitment for Yamaha XVS 650 Drag Star applications

Tuning controls

This shock provides rebound damping adjustment to help you balance comfort, grip, and chassis stability. Rebound adjustment is useful for matching the shock response to different loads, riding pace, and road surfaces.

Is it right for you?

Choose this shock if you want a higher level of damping control and a more settled rear end without moving away from a street-focused setup. It suits riders who value predictable handling and the ability to tune rebound to preference.

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your specific Yamaha XVS 650 Drag Star model and year
  • Set sag correctly after installation to make the most of the damping adjustment
  • Re-check settings after a short bedding-in period and adjust as needed

Serviceability/lifecycle

As with any performance shock, periodic servicing helps maintain damping consistency and seal life. Routine inspection and scheduled oil service will keep the shock operating as intended over time.
