FAQs

Is professional installation required for the Ohlins STX46 Shock?

While not strictly mandatory, professional installation by a qualified motorcycle technician is highly recommended to ensure correct fitment, setup, and safety.

How do I adjust the preload on this shock?

The shock features a hose-mounted hydraulic preload adjuster. Rotate the knob on the adjuster to increase or decrease spring preload. Consult the Ohlins manual for recommended settings.

What is the purpose of adjustable rebound damping?

Adjustable rebound damping controls how quickly the suspension extends after being compressed. Tuning this allows you to optimize the suspension's response to different road surfaces and riding styles.

Can I use this shock with a different spring rate?

Yes, multiple spring rates are available. It is recommended to choose a spring rate that best suits your weight and riding conditions, potentially with the help of a suspension specialist.

How often should the shock be serviced?

Service intervals depend on usage, but Ohlins typically recommends servicing every 15,000-20,000 miles or annually for heavy use to maintain optimal performance.

What does the STX Single Tube design offer?

The STX Single Tube design provides superior damping consistency, better heat dissipation, and improved responsiveness compared to twin-tube designs.

Is the shock repairable?

Yes, the Ohlins STX46 Shock is fully serviceable and repairable, allowing for maintenance and upgrades over its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Harsh ride or excessive bouncing

Adjust rebound damping settings. If the issue persists, verify preload settings are appropriate for rider weight and load.

Difficulty adjusting preload

Ensure the hose mounted adjuster is clean and free from debris. Check that the hose is not kinked or damaged.

Suspension feels soft or bottoms out

Increase preload using the hydraulic adjuster. If bottoming out persists, consider a different spring rate or consult a suspension specialist.

Visible leaks from seals

Cease use immediately and contact an authorized Ohlins service center for inspection and repair. This indicates a seal failure.
