All of the YSS shocks are of excellent quality. For almost all factory motorbikes, a YSS Suspension set is a great upgrade at a very fair price! YSS shocks provide a driving comfort that is unequalled while providing perfect road grip.
Many YSS shock absorbers can be adjusted with the supplied spanner. This adjustment is also called the "preload" of the shock absorber.
The parts of YSS shock absorbers are made in Taiwan and assembled by hand in the Netherlands. The shock absorbers from YSS Suspension are therefore always checked on Dutch soil before they leave the manufacturer.
A good set of shock absorbers like the YSS shocks can, with proper and normal use, last for years and have at least a 2-year warranty.
Mounting the shock absorbers is done by putting the bike on a stand. Then you take off the old shock absorbers and you mount your new YSS shock absorbers in the right place.
In the product description of YSS shocks it is always mentioned what bikes they are suitable for. Besides that, there are a lot of YSS shocks that can be customised to fit your motorbike! When ordering these products you can fill in the brand, model and year of construction of your motorbike. After ordering, they will be made and adjusted especially for your cafe racer!
Yes, YSS shocks can be ordered in exactly the way you want them to be. See the "custom" variants on Cafe Racer Webshop. If you discover something's not right or has to be changed later on, this is almost never a problem.
You can test shock absorbers yourself by mounting them on the bike. After that's done, you can sit on your motorcycle and apply some pressure. Nothing wrong? Then you can take it for a ride and hit some speed bumps. If you don't hear any strange noises and the ride is good, you're fine!
