The Ohlins YA753 STX 46 Street rear shock is built for riders who want more controlled suspension behaviour from their Yamaha XVS 1300A Midnight Star. It’s a monotube design intended to improve stability and composure across everyday road surfaces. Damping is managed with a pressurised gas system to help maintain consistency as conditions change.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins road shocks are engineered with the same core damping philosophy used across the brand’s motorsport programs, then refined for street use. The focus is predictable chassis control, clear feedback and repeatable adjustability.

Who this shock is for

Suited to XVS 1300A riders who want a more planted feel than a basic OE-style unit can offer. It’s a good match for riders who value stable support through corners and under braking, and who want the option to tune damping to suit load and riding conditions.

Shock design & features

This is a rear mono shock from the Ohlins STX 46 Street family. The damping system is a gas-pressurised monotube architecture, with oil and gas separated to support consistent damping behaviour.

Tuning controls

The YA753 provides damping adjustment for rebound and compression, allowing you to balance ride comfort, support and chassis response. It also includes length adjustment to help fine-tune rear ride height and overall geometry.

Before you install

Confirm correct fitment for your exact model and year of Yamaha XVS 1300A Midnight Star. After installation, set your baseline adjustments and verify clearance through full suspension travel, especially if you ride with luggage or a passenger.

Serviceability/lifecycle

As with other Ohlins units, periodic servicing helps keep damping performance consistent over time. Regular inspection for leaks, worn bushes and hardware condition is recommended, particularly if the bike sees frequent wet-weather use or rough roads.
