YSS Testimonials

New YSS shocks fitted to Mean Streak

“ The new YSS shocks are fully adjustable in both compression and rebound and can even be revalved or repaired if required. The YSS shocks have made an enormous difference. With the original Mean Streak standard shocks, the bike would jar the back if set too hard or cause the bike to wallow on undulating roads, especially two up. They had no rebound adjustment. The new YSS shocks have made a great ride, even better. "

RG 366 TRCL on the track

“ I got the RG 366 TRCL and had my dealer set them up for me. I was at least 2-3 seconds faster at the track yesterday than I had been before and my ground clearance was MUCH better. I would scrape foot and pegs before and have a hard time getting my knee down smoothly through the turns. I went 10mm higher on my ride height and that combined with stiffer springs gave me a much better angle/position on the bike. Another nice thing is that they look so much better than the Ohlins wannabe's that are OEM. Plus the silver/red of the YSS matches the red. "

YSS shocks - very good product

“ Do a search here for YSS shocks - they are brilliant - a very good product without the $$$ of ohlins. "

YSS shocks are less expensive

“ The Ikon shock for the GT is a gas shock with pre-load and 4 position rebound damping adjustment and more expensive. The YSS Z-302 TRL Twin shock is a gas shock with pre-load and 80 click rebound damping and costing less. The YSS has much finer control of the damping adjustment and offers both rebound and compression damping adjustments. Ikon does not offer a shock with compression damping adjustment. "

Philosophy

“ It's unwise paying too much, but worse paying too little. By paying too much, you lose a little money. By paying too little, you could lose everything, because what you've bought would be incapable of doing what it was bought for. The law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it's wise to add a bit for the risk you run and if you do that, you can pay for something better. "

That said and with this in mind, the Suspension Shop is servicing the motorcycle community in Australia and overseas as well as furthering the research, manufacture and development of top quality world class shock absorbers for racing purposes and casual driving without breaking the bank.
