DescriptionThe whole story▼

08773-10 is the Öhlins number for the Kawasaki ZX-6R as sold between 2009 and 2016. Correct rate restores the geometry the ZX-6R was designed around.

Key Features

  • Built for the Kawasaki ZX-6R (2009–2016); fits without modification
  • Spring rate as delivered: 10.0, matched to the ZX-6R

The ZX-6R in Particular

The 2009–2016 generation kept the same chassis dimensions throughout, so one Öhlins number serves the whole run. On a supersport machine, front-end feel under braking is what the rider trusts, and damping is what provides it.

Rate and Ride Height

Spring rate is 10.0 as delivered, which sets static sag for a rider of typical weight. Damping was developed with 01309 in the unit. Oil level is set at 80. Öhlins specifies 235 mm here, so ride height stays as the factory set it. Rate is fixed by the spring, so the setup work is preload and oil level rather than clicks. With the correct rate fitted, the standard damping finally has a fair chance of working as intended.

Construction and Material Quality

Every Öhlins dealer can re-valve the unit, because the shim stack is a documented, serviceable assembly. The Öhlins part number is stamped on the unit, so its specification can be looked up years later. Materials read unremarkably on paper — aluminium, steel, nitrogen — and the difference lies in how precisely they are made.

The Fork springs in Detail

The rate printed on the spring is the measured rate, not the nominal one. Fitting the correct rate changes ride height, static sag and how much of the fork's travel is actually usable. Öhlins winds, sets and then individually measures every spring before it is boxed.

Fitment and Compatibility

This listing covers Öhlins part number 08773-10 for the Kawasaki ZX-6R, 2009–2016. Because the settings are model-specific, fitting it to a related machine would mean running the wrong specification.

Road Approval

Road approval: not documented by Öhlins for the Kawasaki ZX-6R. We do not state an approval we cannot evidence — please confirm the current status with us before ordering if you intend to use the motorcycle on public roads.

Fitting and Setup Service

We are an authorised Öhlins service centre, so the installation does not have to be your problem: we fit and set up Öhlins components in our own workshop. Ask us when you order and we will include the work.
