DescriptionThe whole story▼

Shims 12/40/0.15, Öhlins part number 01115-40. A shim is a thin steel washer, and a stack of them is what actually generates damping in an Öhlins unit — the oil has to bend them out of the way to pass.

What It Is

Öhlins gives it as 12 mm, 40 mm, 0.15 mm; nothing about that is approximate. The stack is the tuning: outer diameter sets where the shim bends, thickness sets how hard it resists. Two shims of the same thickness but different diameter give completely different damping. Öhlins grinds shims to a flatness tolerance because the faces have to seal against each other.

Original Öhlins Part

Öhlins is one of the few suspension makers that still supplies every position in the exploded view as a single part. Parts remain available years after a unit leaves the current price list, which is unusual in this trade. Order by part number. The dimensions below are the ones Öhlins publishes for it. If you are between two sizes, send us the measurement and we will check it against the catalogue.

Identifying the Right Part

Öhlins identifies this position by the number 01115-40 in the exploded view for the unit it belongs to. Check inner diameter 12 mm, outer diameter 40 mm, thickness 0.15 mm against what you have removed; a close size is not the same part. The stack is the tuning: outer diameter sets where the shim bends, thickness sets how hard it resists. Outer diameter sets the lever the oil works against, and thickness sets the resistance.

Fitting and Setup Service

If you would rather not open the damper yourself, we can do it — we are an authorised Öhlins service centre and rebuild these units as a matter of routine.
