Shock options and features Öhlins has to offer for the Yamaha FZ 09 / FJ 09 / MT 09 / XSR 900. Including highlights of our new NIX 30 Street Cartridge Kit.
Main wheely-prone posture of the MT-09 is due to the rear swingarm being too parallel in angle to the ground. Chain-wrap when under throttle causes the bike to essentially lift the front of the bike, pivoting around the front swingarm pivot bearings. Adding a little length to the shock will bring this "pro-squat" tendency back down, cause the bike to stop understeering out of corners and be much better launching hard.
This is a nice simple overview that I’ve been looking for as I’ve been considering which to upgrade to but I wasn’t sure exactly what the differences were. Thx
On the first shock. Which way is clockwise and Which way is counter? Looking from the front of the bike or looking from the rear? This problem comes up a lot in customer/mechanic directions. That's why I've always said passenger side or driver side to alleviate confusion. I would assume looking forward ie the ohlins label is legible. Would be clockwise?
MT-09 owner here. Do any of these 3 shocks have “ride height” adjustment? If so, which model? I couldn’t find the answer in the tech specs on your site.
Can you please make an inverted gold fork set for the MT07/XSR700. It’s one of the top selling motorcycles worldwide. The cartridge kit is nice but I want that ohlins gold fork.
OHLINS S46DR1 what is the adjusters bottom of the spring ? i am not talking about the Black rebound nut, the others ? can you also adjust preload with them ?

I'm sold. My MT-09 is getting a shock upgrade soon.
Which one did you end up buying? I'm considering the entry level version.

These are preload adjustment only which is absolutely not the same as ride height adjustment

Hi is this shock come standard on the mt09 sp?
Did you know George Lucas/the props team used parts from an old fork for Luke’s green lightsaber? Now you know ;)
Can you make shocks for a scratch built project?
Hey Ohlins,
Ive wanted to know if there is preformence differences between the 335 and 535 or just that the 535 is more "user friendly"?
Buy a Nitron instead
@@rockyp3917 what ia that?
@@yaron9877 Google Nitron shocks
Hi, my weight is 72 kg, how much spring rate do I perform?
9.0
@@Leonhartcobra88 would you recommend a sporty SAG for the mt-09
Anybody know what shock I can use in a 1985 Yamaha FJ1100?
Any other later Yam bikes have one that might fit?
Can the YA 335 be upgraded to accommodate the compression adjuster
We apologize, but you must purchase the YA 535 in order to have compression adjust-ability.
These are great... how long do they last?
you are supposed to get them rebuilt every two years. so if you do that, they last forever.
Price for Xsr900
