DescriptionThe whole story▼

Shims 12/28/0.25, Öhlins part number 00525-28. 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.

Where It Sits

At 12 mm, 28 mm, 0.25 mm it fits one position only; the next size up carries a different number. Shims are reused only if they are undamaged and flat; a coned shim is finished. Changing one shim in a stack alters the damping curve measurably; that is why Öhlins sells them individually rather than only as sets. Revalving means changing the stack, not the piston — that is why shims are sold singly.

Genuine Service Part

Öhlins numbers every position so a workshop can order precisely what it needs, not a whole assembly. Öhlins manufactures service parts on the same lines as production parts — there is no second quality. We can supply the whole position from the drawing rather than the single piece if that is easier. Order by part number. The dimensions below are the ones Öhlins publishes for it.

Identifying the Right Part

Order under 00525-28. Where several sizes share a description, only the number separates them. inner diameter 12 mm, outer diameter 28 mm, thickness 0.25 mm is what distinguishes this number from its neighbours in the range. A shim is a thin, ground steel washer, and the stack of them is what generates damping. Shim thickness is measured in hundredths of a millimetre because that is the resolution at which damping force changes.
