The Ohlins YA898 STX 46 Adventure rear shock is built for Yamaha Ténéré 700 riders who want controlled suspension behaviour across mixed terrain and changing loads. It’s designed to maintain stability and traction when the surface is rough, without making the bike feel vague or wallowy. Adjustability is provided so you can tune the feel to your riding and conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins adventure shocks are engineered around consistent damping performance and predictable response. The focus is on maintaining control through repeated bumps and long stints where heat and fatigue can affect suspension feel.

Who this shock is for

  • Adventure riders mixing sealed roads with gravel, corrugations and rocky tracks
  • Riders carrying luggage and/or a pillion who need stability and composure
  • Owners wanting broader tuning range than standard suspension provides

Shock design & features

This is an oil/gas separated monotube design intended to keep damping consistent over long rides. The layout supports controlled movement through the stroke and aims to reduce harshness from sharp impacts while maintaining chassis stability.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment

Before you install

  • Set sag and spring preload to suit your typical load (solo, luggage, pillion)
  • Record the original adjuster positions before making changes so you can return to baseline
  • After installation, recheck fasteners and clearances after the first ride

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like all high-performance dampers, routine servicing helps maintain oil condition, seal integrity and consistent damping. Periodic inspection is recommended, especially if the bike is used regularly in dust, water crossings or sustained corrugations.
