DescriptionThe whole story▼

Piston 46, Öhlins part number 05947-01. The piston carries the shim stacks and meters the oil; its port layout is what makes an Öhlins damper behave the way it does.

Key Features

  • Original Öhlins service part
  • Öhlins part number 05947-01

Where It Sits

There is no measurement to check here — the number and the exploded view identify it. Rebuilding a piston means keeping the shim order, because the stack is the tuning. A scored piston face means oil bypasses the shims entirely. Öhlins machines its pistons so the port edges stay sharp and the flow predictable.

Original Öhlins Part

Buying the individual part rather than a complete assembly is what makes servicing an Öhlins unit worthwhile. Öhlins keeps service parts available for units long after they leave the current price list. The exploded drawing for your unit names the number; if you do not have it, we do. Tell us the damper's model designation and year and we will match the number for you.

Getting the Number Right

The reliable route is the exploded drawing: find the position, read the number, order it — 05947-01 in this case. Where no measurement is given, the drawing position is what identifies the part. Twin-tube pistons have separate paths for compression and rebound, which is the whole point of the design. Port area and shim seat geometry decide the damping curve before any adjuster is touched.

Fitting and Setup Service

Öhlins recommends that its units are serviced by an authorised centre. We are one: rebuild, revalve and setup all happen in our own workshop.
