Outer diameter sets the lever the oil works against, and thickness sets the resistance. Outer diameter sets the lever the oil works against; thickness sets how hard it resists. The stack is the tuning: outer diameter sets where the shim bends, thickness sets how hard it resists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Original\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an original Öhlins part, not an aftermarket equivalent — the tolerances are the ones the unit was assembled to. Öhlins supports its suspension with individual service parts, which is why a fifteen-year-old damper can still be rebuilt to specification. The exploded drawing for your unit names the number; if you do not have it, we do. Öhlins numbers do not follow a logic you can guess — always read them from the documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Be Sure It Fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart number 01425-17 is unambiguous; the description alone is not, because Öhlins uses similar wording across sizes. The published dimensions are inner diameter 6 mm, outer diameter 17 mm, thickness 0.25 mm — measure the old part against them if you are unsure. 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. A worn or bent shim shows up as damping that has quietly drifted from the setting sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBrand:\u003c\/em\u003e Öhlins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/em\u003e 01425-17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCategory:\u003c\/em\u003e Shims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInner Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eOuter Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 17 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThickness:\u003c\/em\u003e 0.25 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/em\u003e Sweden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Öhlins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53648555540746,"sku":"01425-17","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/01425-17_d527a0d0-6214-42b3-8678-a7d6a378e8f9.png?v=1788871126","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-pa\/products\/ohlins-shims-6-17-0-25-01425-17","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
