DescriptionThe whole story▼

This is the Öhlins 08432-85, released for the Yamaha YZF R6 as built between 2017 and 2023. Getting sag right on the YZF R6 changes more than any damping click will.

Key Features

  • Model-specific fitment for the Yamaha YZF R6 (2017–2023) — no modification required
  • Fitted spring rate 8.5, chosen by Öhlins for the YZF R6

How Öhlins Builds It

Anodising is hard-coat rather than decorative, which matters on a component exposed to road salt and stone chips. Service parts stay available for years after a part number leaves the current price list. Materials read unremarkably on paper — aluminium, steel, nitrogen — and the difference lies in how precisely they are made.

The Fork springs in Detail

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. Fitting the correct rate changes ride height, static sag and how much of the fork's travel is actually usable.

Getting the Sag Right

Spring rate is 8.5 as delivered, which sets static sag for a rider of typical weight. Fill specification is 01309, which is part of the setting rather than a detail. Eye-to-eye length is 220 mm, fixed for this application. 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.

Why This Machine Needs It

Supersport chassis are stiff and short, which leaves the suspension doing almost all the compliance work. The 2017–2023 generation kept the same chassis dimensions throughout, so one Öhlins number serves the whole run.

Fitment and Compatibility

The fitment stated here is the Yamaha YZF R6 in its 2017–2023 form, under Öhlins part number 08432-85. Because the settings are model-specific, fitting it to a related machine would mean running the wrong specification.

Road Approval

Road approval: unclear. There is no published German approval for this part on the Yamaha YZF R6, and we would rather tell you that than imply one exists.

Fitting and Setup Service

Öhlins recommends that its suspension is fitted by an authorised service centre. We are one, and we do the work here: installation, servicing and a proper setup. Ask us and we will include it with the order.
