The Ohlins YA853 STX 36 is a rear scooter shock designed to improve damping control and chassis stability on the Yamaha Grand Filano Hybrid. Built around Ohlins racing-derived damping know-how, it focuses on consistent behaviour and clearer feedback. It uses a gas-pressurised layout to help maintain damping consistency during everyday riding.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a strong emphasis on controlled damping, predictable feel and tuneability. This unit is part of the STX 36 Scooter family, intended to deliver a more composed rear end and improved control under braking and acceleration.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders wanting a more stable, controlled rear end compared with a basic OE-style shock.
  • Commuters and weekend riders looking for better consistency and feedback across varying road surfaces.
  • Owners who value having external damping adjustments available for fine tuning.

Shock design & features

  • Gas-pressurised design to support consistent damping performance.
  • Rear mono-shock fitment for the Yamaha Grand Filano Hybrid.
  • STX 36 architecture aimed at improved traction and chassis control.
  • Supplied with a spring fitted, with an optional alternative spring included in the box (as supplied by Ohlins).

Tuning controls

This shock provides external damping adjustment for both compression and rebound, allowing you to tailor behaviour for ride comfort, chassis support and grip depending on load and road conditions.

Before you install

  • Confirm the motorcycle/scooter model and year match your application for YA853.
  • Set sag and ride height as part of installation to ensure the damping adjustments work in the correct range.
  • After fitting, make one change at a time to compression or rebound and test ride to evaluate the effect.

Serviceability/lifecycle

As a gas-pressurised performance shock, periodic servicing helps maintain damping consistency and seal life. Service intervals vary with use and conditions, but regular inspection and oil/seal refresh will keep performance where it should be.
