Availability: PreOrder

The Ohlins rear shock for the Yamaha YFZ450R ATV is built around a piggyback reservoir layout, designed for consistent damping in demanding off-road use. It is supplied as a complete unit, intended to replace the standard rear shock. Ohlins focus on controlled feel and reliable adjustment range rather than gimmicks.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension units are engineered with serviceability and tuneability in mind. This rear shock is aimed at riders who want a more controlled rear end across changing track and terrain conditions. It is a purpose-built ATV application from the Ohlins off-road range.

Who this shock is for

Suitable for YFZ450R riders who ride motocross-style tracks, rough trails, or high-load conditions where heat management and consistent damping matter. It can also suit riders looking for a suspension unit that can be maintained and revalved over time. If you prefer a set-and-forget approach with no tuning, this may be more adjustability than you need.

Shock design & features

This is an oil/gas-separated shock with a piggyback reservoir, helping stabilise damping performance when the shock is working hard. The reservoir arrangement supports better control under repeated hits compared with simpler single-body designs. As a complete replacement unit, it is intended to integrate with the standard mounting points for the model listed.

Tuning controls

This shock includes compression adjustment and rebound adjustment, allowing you to balance support and traction to suit rider preference and terrain. Adjusters are there to fine-tune feel after sag and spring rate are confirmed. Changes should be made in small steps and tested systematically.

Before you install

Confirm the exact model and year compatibility for your Yamaha YFZ450R before installation. Check linkage and bearings for wear, and ensure correct torque procedures are followed. After fitting, set sag and re-check fasteners after the first ride.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced, with wear parts and oil replaced as part of normal maintenance. Service intervals depend on conditions and hours of use, especially in dusty or wet environments. Regular servicing helps keep damping consistent and protects internal components.

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.
