The Ohlins YA788 TTX RT rear shock is built to give your Yamaha YZF R1 more consistent damping control and clearer rear-tyre feedback. It uses a pressurised design to help maintain stable performance as temperatures and loads change. With separate compression and rebound circuits, it supports careful tuning for road and track use without relying on vague “one size fits all” settings.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

TTX RT is developed from Ohlins’ racing shock architecture, focused on predictable damping behaviour and repeatability. The intent is stable chassis balance under braking and acceleration, with damping you can tune logically as conditions change.

Shock design & features

  • Rear mono shock configuration for the YZF R1
  • Pressurised, oil/gas separated damping system to help resist fade
  • TTX layout with dedicated damping circuits to improve consistency and response

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment for controlling return speed and rear stability
  • Compression damping adjustment for managing support under load
  • Spring preload adjustment to set ride height and baseline balance

Base setup (factory preset)

This shock is supplied with an Ohlins baseline tune intended as a starting point for the R1 platform. From there, compression, rebound and preload can be refined to suit tyres, pace and typical surface conditions.

Before you install

Confirm clearance and access to adjusters once fitted, and set sag before making damping changes. If your bike has been lowered/raised or runs non-standard linkage geometry, start with preload/sag and chassis balance first, then fine-tune damping.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all performance dampers, regular servicing helps maintain oil condition, gas pressure and internal wear items for consistent behaviour over time. Plan periodic inspection and refresh intervals based on usage intensity and track time.

Öhlins Motorcycle Suspension Warranty

New Öhlins motorcycle shock absorbers, front forks and cartridge kits supplied by Teknik Motorsport are covered by the applicable Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Teknik Motorsport is an authorised Öhlins Service Centre and administers warranty claims in accordance with the Öhlins warranty conditions. The service intervals below form part of the maintenance requirements for Öhlins products supplied and supported by Teknik Motorsport.

This warranty is in addition to the consumer guarantees that apply under the Australian Consumer Law.

  • Registered motorcycles — non-competition road use Five years, subject to correct application, installation, setup and servicing every: 20,000 km or two years, whichever occurs first.
  • Registered motorcycles — adventure and light off-road use Five years, subject to correct application, spring rate, setup and servicing every: 10,000 km or annually, whichever occurs first.
  • Unregistered or competition motorcycles Two years for eligible Öhlins MX and Enduro products, subject to inspection every ten hours and servicing every: 30 operating hours or annually, whichever occurs first.

Compliance with the applicable service interval is a condition of the Öhlins manufacturer’s warranty. Evidence of servicing may be required when a warranty claim is assessed.

A seal leak, loss of damping performance or internal wear arising after the prescribed service interval has been exceeded will be treated as a service or maintenance issue rather than a manufacturing defect.

Warranty repairs

Öhlins suspension products are designed to be serviced and repaired. Where a warranty claim is approved, the normal remedy is repair of the customer’s original suspension unit using genuine Öhlins replacement parts.

Replacement of a complete shock absorber, fork or cartridge kit is not automatic and would normally occur only where the product has suffered a manufacturing failure that cannot reasonably be repaired. This is at Ohlins discretion. 

Öhlins spare parts and service kits

Öhlins spare parts, seals, bushes, service kits, springs, fluids and individual components are covered only against defects present when supplied.

No fixed age-based warranty applies to wear items, service parts or consumable components. Wear, deterioration, contamination, incorrect installation and damage caused by another component are not manufacturing defects.

Öhlins gives the customer a meaningful five-year warranty on products (Units), provided the suspension is maintained as suspension should be maintained. Teknik supports that warranty locally, can inspect the product properly, and can repair it with genuine parts rather than discarding it.
