Cylinder tube 46/198, Öhlins part number 04210-23. The cylinder tube is the working bore of the damper: the piston runs in it, and its finish decides how well the piston rings seal.

Function

04210-23 is the 46 mm, 198 mm version — Öhlins lists each size separately. Corrosion inside a tube is terminal: it cannot be honed out without changing the clearance. The cylinder tube is the working bore of the damper: the piston runs in it, and its finish decides how well the piston rings seal. Surface finish is specified in microns, because it decides how quickly the piston band wears.

Why the Original

Rebuilding to specification only works if the parts are to specification — that starts here. The part is identical to what Öhlins fits in production — same supplier, same specification. Order by part number — descriptions repeat across sizes, numbers do not. Service parts are supplied per piece unless the description says otherwise.

Getting the Number Right

The reliable route is the exploded drawing: find the position, read the number, order it — 04210-23 in this case. Check diameter 46 mm, length 198 mm against what you have removed; a close size is not the same part. The cylinder is one of the few damper parts that is genuinely wear-limited. Tubes are replaced when the bore is marked; polishing them out changes the clearance and makes it worse.

Fitting and Setup Service

Fitting service parts means opening a pressurised unit. As an authorised Öhlins service centre we do that here, with the right tools and a dyno check afterwards — just ask.
