Ohlins STX46 Shock For Yamaha XTZ 700 Tenere 700 2025 Rear Gold - Ohlins - 13102530

The STX Single Tube design offers superior damping consistency and heat management compared to twin-tube designs, leading to more reliable performance, especially under hard use.

Basic installation may be possible for experienced DIY mechanics. However, proper setup and adjustment require knowledge of suspension dynamics. Professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Spring rate selection depends primarily on rider weight, including gear and any luggage carried. Ohlins offers multiple spring rates, and your dealer or a suspension specialist can help you choose the best one.

The hose-mounted hydraulic preload adjuster is designed for ease of use. It allows for quick adjustments without needing to remove the bike from a stand, simply turn the knob to increase or decrease pressure on the spring.

Ohlins recommends servicing every 20,000 kilometers (approximately 12,400 miles) or annually, whichever comes first. However, frequent off-road use may require more frequent service. Check the Ohlins service manual for detailed recommendations.

Rebound damping controls how quickly the suspension extends after being compressed. Compression damping (not featured on this specific STX46 model) controls how quickly the suspension compresses under load. This model focuses on rebound adjustment for ride control.

Adjust rebound damping. If still bottoming out, consider increasing spring preload or a stiffer spring rate. Ensure correct sag is set.

Increase rebound damping (clockwise). Check spring preload is not too soft for rider weight.

Ensure the adjustment tool is properly seated. Clean any debris from the preload collar. If adjustment is stiff, a small amount of lubricant on the threads might help, but avoid overspray onto the shock body.

This could indicate a need for service. Internal seals or gas pressure may require attention. Consult a qualified technician.
