Koraki namestitve

1. Secure the motorcycle on a stand so the rear wheel is off the ground and the swingarm can move freely.
2. Carefully remove the original rear shock absorber, noting the orientation of all components.
3. Clean the mounting points on the frame and swingarm. Apply a thin layer of grease to the mounting bolts if recommended by the motorcycle manufacturer.
4. Install the Ohlins STX36 Mini Rear Shock (HO 819) with the reservoir facing the correct direction as per the specific vehicle instructions (refer to your Honda Z125M service manual for exact orientation).
5. Hand-tighten all mounting bolts.
6. Lower the motorcycle slightly to allow the shock to settle, then torque all mounting bolts to the manufacturer's specified values. Refer to your Honda Z125M service manual for torque specifications.
7. Ensure there is no binding or interference with other motorcycle components throughout the full range of suspension travel.

Initial Adjustments (Static Sag)

Static sag is crucial for proper suspension function. It refers to how much the suspension compresses under the motorcycle's own weight.

• With the motorcycle on its stand, measure the distance from the rear axle to a fixed point on the chassis (e.g., a bolt head). Record this as Measurement A.
• Remove the motorcycle from the stand and allow it to rest on its wheels. Gently bounce the rear a few times to settle the suspension.
• Measure the distance from the rear axle to the same fixed point on the chassis. Record this as Measurement B.
• Calculate the static sag: Static Sag = Measurement A - Measurement B.
• Adjust the spring preload ring on the shock to achieve the recommended static sag for your Honda Z125M (typically 5-15mm for street use, consult your motorcycle's manual or Ohlins recommendations). Turn the preload ring clockwise to increase preload (reduce sag) and counter-clockwise to decrease preload (increase sag).

Upravljanje in nastavitve

The Ohlins STX36 Mini Rear Shock offers adjustable damping to fine-tune your ride. The primary adjustments are rebound and compression damping.

Odboj Damping Adjustment

Odboj damping controls the speed at which the shock extends after compression. Too little rebound can cause the suspension to feel bouncy; too much can cause it to pack down over successive bumps.

• The rebound adjuster is typically located at the bottom of the shock body.
• Turn the adjuster clockwise to increase rebound damping (slower extension).
• Turn the adjuster counter-clockwise to decrease rebound damping (faster extension).
• Start with the recommended settings in your Ohlins documentation or motorcycle manual, then adjust in small increments (e.g., 1-2 clicks) based on riding feel.

Stiskanje Damping Adjustment

Stiskanje damping controls the speed at which the shock compresses. Too little compression damping can make the suspension feel soft and prone to bottoming out; too much can make it feel harsh.

• The compression adjuster is typically located on the reservoir.
• Turn the adjuster clockwise to increase compression damping (firmer ride).
• Turn the adjuster counter-clockwise to decrease compression damping (mehkejša vožnja).
• Adjust in small increments, testing the feel after each change.
