The eyelets carry spherical bearings rather than rubber bushes, so the damper is not fighting its own mounting. The unit is rebuildable: seals, shims and oil are catalogue items, not a reason to buy a new one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Machine Needs It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part number spans model years 2010 to 2016; earlier and later generations take different numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDamping Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e66 mm of stroke is what the FZ8 Fazer's linkage allows, and the shim stack is set for exactly that. 120 is the rate Öhlins selected after testing on the FZ8 Fazer. Installed length comes to 320 mm. Preload is set separately again, and preload is what determines static sag rather than damping. Compression and rebound are adjusted independently, so support under load can be set without changing how fast the wheel returns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the STX 46 Street Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreload on the road version is set by a threaded collar rather than a hydraulic remote, keeping weight and cost down. The 46 mm piston is the same size Öhlins uses in far more expensive units; what changes is the shim stack behind it. Where the standard damper uses a fixed orifice, the STX 46 meters oil through a shim stack that can be re-valved by any Öhlins service centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins releases YA 009 against the Yamaha FZ8 Fazer (2010–2016). Because the settings are model-specific, fitting it to a related machine would mean running the wrong specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: ABE (Germany). The unit is covered by a German ABE for the Yamaha FZ8 Fazer, so no individual inspection or entry in the vehicle documents is required.
