Where It Sits

This one measures 16 mm, 153 mm, and those figures are what separate it from the neighbouring numbers. This is a part that is replaced rather than repaired. Öhlins offers shafts in several lengths per diameter because the stroke differs by model. Öhlins offers several lengths per diameter because stroke differs by model.

Why the Original

The part is identical to what Öhlins fits in production — same supplier, same specification. Öhlins lists this part under its own number in the service catalogue so a workshop can order exactly what it needs. If you are between two sizes, send us the measurement and we will check it against the catalogue. If the unit is already apart, compare the published dimensions with the part in your hand.

Getting the Number Right

Part number 65500-06 is unambiguous; the description alone is not, because Öhlins uses similar wording across sizes. The published dimensions are diameter 16 mm, length 153 mm — measure the old part against them if you are unsure. Any mark on the polished section is a reason to replace rather than to reassemble. The shaft is threaded at both ends: piston at one, mounting at the other.

Fitting and Setup Service

A damper rebuild is workshop work: it needs the unit dismantled, the shim stack rebuilt in the correct order and the gas charge reset. We are an authorised Öhlins service centre and do exactly that in house — send us the unit or ask us to fit the part with your order.
