DescriptionThe whole story▼
Part number KA 464 covers the Kawasaki H2 SX in its 2018 form. Damping that fades turns a predictable H2 SX into one that has to be ridden around.
Key Features
- Damper stroke 57 mm
- Delivered with a 120 N/mm spring, selected for the H2 SX
- Öhlins spring 21040-44 included
- Adjustable compression damping via the gold click adjuster
- Twin-tube TTX damper layout
- Piston measuring 36 mm across
- Adjustable rebound damping through a dedicated click adjuster on the damper body
- Built to 318+6/-0 mm installed length
How It Behaves on the Road
The 36 mm piston is the same size Öhlins uses across this platform, and the shim stack is what makes it model-specific. 318+6/-0 mm of adjustment turns ride height into a setting rather than a fixed dimension. Öhlins fits a 120 N/mm spring to this number; riders far from average weight should expect to change it. Öhlins quotes 57 mm of damper stroke for this fitment. Öhlins publishes a baseline setting for each part number, which is the sensible starting point. A single click produces a change most riders can detect, which is not true of every adjustable damper.
What This Means on the H2 SX
Braking bumps and jump landings load the suspension at the two extremes of its range within the same corner.
Where This Sits in the Öhlins Line-up
The twin tube separates the two circuits, so both stay pressurised. In a twin-tube damper the compression and rebound circuits never share oil, so neither can starve the other. The external reservoir carries the gas charge and keeps oil volume high, which slows the temperature rise.
Construction and Material Quality
The unit is rebuildable: seals, shims and oil are catalogue items, not a reason to buy a new one. Machining, anodising, assembly and testing all happen in the same building rather than across a supply chain. Two units carrying the same part number behave the same way out of the box, which is the whole point of testing each one.
Fitment and Compatibility
This listing covers Öhlins part number KA 464 for the Kawasaki H2 SX, 2018. It is model-specific rather than universal: length, stroke and valving are all set for this chassis.
