Where It Sits

Öhlins gives it as 196.8 mm, 4.5 mm; nothing about that is approximate. Shaft diameter sets the displaced volume, which is why it is part of the damper's specification. Shafts are not shortened or extended; the length is the specification. Öhlins offers several lengths per diameter because stroke differs by model.

Why the Original

Öhlins supports its suspension with individual service parts, which is why a fifteen-year-old damper can still be rebuilt to specification. A damper that can be rebuilt is a damper that stays on the bike; that is the whole argument for original service parts. Service parts are ordered per piece unless stated otherwise. If you are between two sizes, send us the measurement and we will check it against the catalogue.

How to Be Sure It Fits

The reliable route is the exploded drawing: find the position, read the number, order it — 06566-14 in this case. The published dimensions are diameter 196.8 mm, length 4.5 mm — measure the old part against them if you are unsure. The damper shaft carries the piston through the oil and out through the seal head. This is a part that is replaced rather than repaired.

Fitting and Setup Service

We are an authorised Öhlins service centre, so you do not have to source the tools and the nitrogen: send us the damper and we rebuild it with the correct parts and the correct setting.
