DescriptionThe whole story▼

Fitted to the Kawasaki ZX-6R (2009–2016), the Öhlins 08773-90 replaces the standard unit outright. Rates are measured individually rather than taken from the winding specification.

Key Features

  • Bolts to the Kawasaki ZX-6R (2009–2016) using the standard mounting points
  • Spring rate as delivered: 9.0, matched to the ZX-6R

Getting the Sag Right

Öhlins builds it to 235 mm between the eyes for this chassis. Fill specification is 01309, which is part of the setting rather than a detail. Oil level is set at 80. Rate as supplied is 9.0, matched by Öhlins to this machine rather than to the platform. With the correct rate fitted, the standard damping finally has a fair chance of working as intended. Öhlins publishes recommended sag figures, and those are the reference rather than a feel.

Construction and Material Quality

Springs are wound, heat-set and then measured individually before they are boxed. Every unit is dyno-tested against the curve held for its part number, not sampled from a batch. Coating is applied after setting so the finish does not affect the rate.

The Fork springs in Detail

Öhlins winds, sets and then individually measures every spring before it is boxed. Öhlins fork springs are wound, set and then individually measured; the rate on the label is the rate you get. The rate printed on the spring is the measured rate, not the nominal one.

Setting It Up for the ZX-6R

Track use raises oil temperature quickly, and a damper that fades takes confidence with it. Öhlins covers the 8-year production run of this generation with a single part number, which means the mounting and the linkage stayed unchanged across it.

Fitment and Compatibility

Öhlins part number 08773-90 is the correct number for the Kawasaki ZX-6R as built 2009–2016. Öhlins lists no other machine against this number, so it is not a unit that can be adapted to a neighbouring model.

Road Approval

Road approval: Öhlins publishes no approval status for this combination. Rather than guess, we say so — ask us before ordering if road use matters to you.

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.
