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

I'm sold. My MT-09 is getting a shock upgrade soon.

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.

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?

[tancakar]

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 ?

[trungkis]

I weigh 65kg. Can you guide me to install compression and rebound of Ohlins 535 on MT-09 ? Please and thank you !

[sergeantsodom]

Did you know George Lucas/the props team used parts from an old fork for Luke’s green lightsaber? Now you know ;)

[elmehdi]

Can ohlins add me more ground clearance for my tracer 900?

[lometatron]

Can you make shocks for a scratch built project?

[shrimptunes]

Anybody know what shock I can use in a 1985 Yamaha FJ1100?
Any other later Yam bikes have one that might fit?

[edgeofentropy]

These are great... how long do they last?

[Joman]

Hi, my weight is 72 kg, how much spring rate do I perform?

[yaron]

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"?

[SeventhDistrict]

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.

[sundayblack]

Can the YA 335 be upgraded to accommodate the compression adjuster

Can you do a shock for the Yamaha mt 125
