What It Is

This one measures 49 mm, 221 mm, and those figures are what separate it from the neighbouring numbers. Fork parts are specific to the fork, not to the motorcycle it happens to be fitted to. Axle clamps and lower legs are machined to hold the axle without distorting the fork. Cartridge tubes sit inside the fork leg and do the actual damping.

Why the Original

The alternative to a service part is usually a new damper, which is why this catalogue exists. Parts remain available years after a unit leaves the current price list, which is unusual in this trade. The Öhlins exploded view names the number for each position; we can look it up if you do not have it. We can supply the whole position from the drawing rather than the single piece if that is easier.

Getting the Number Right

Öhlins identifies this position by the number 21009-30 in the exploded view for the unit it belongs to. Öhlins states dimension a 49 mm, dimension b 221 mm for this number, and those figures are the deciding ones. Cartridge tubes sit inside the fork leg and do the actual damping. Inner tubes are coated because they run in bushings and seals for their whole life.

Fitting and Setup Service

Fitting service parts means opening a pressurised unit. As an authorised Öhlins service centre we do that here, with the right tools and a dyno check afterwards — just ask.
