Fits: HONDA CBR1100XX SUPERBLACKBIRD
Expensive, but good
The Instruction Manual said to overhaul it after 10,000 km, but I asked the manufacturer directly because there was nothing wrong with it visually. I asked the manufacturer directly. I thought it would be good if I could run about 30,000 km. The ride quality is better than OEM. The springs are thicker and stiffer than the OEM ones. I thought they were good and I would like to change the Fork Spring to yes. View detail
We couldn't install it
RZ250/350 (4L3/4U0) I purchased this product in order to introduce it to the
As a result, the Spring I purchased was about 20mm longer in overall length and could not be installed at all! (The same car model does not use a collar, so it cannot even be installed by changing the length of the collar.) 。
The Manufacturer inquiry indicated that the model was a misnomer for the applicable car model.
For car models with poor track records, it may be advisable to check with the Manufacturer in advance based on ServiceData.
By the way, I had to give the lowest rating to the product, but Manufacturer (YSS) The person in charge of the company was very courteous and helpful! (It took about 2 hours from the time of inquiry to the time we received the final response.) 。

It's cheap, but I appreciate the adjustability of the full length.
The attenuation is not enough at all to use in Circuit and Spring rate is not enough.
I think it would be better if you buy a Race model from PMC from the beginning and have it supported by PMC.
I had mine done by PMC, an authorized distributor, for Spec. changes and overhaul.
I told them I was going to Race and they gave me a Sticker.
On the second overhaul, I was told over the phone that it was not reusable and to throw it away and hung up.

Installed without orifice modification
Since the suspension is originally soft, we installed it without orifice and pre-road as it is.
Cushioning has increased considerably when driving the OffRoad course.
Even in the case of a series of small gaps (ruts), there is no need to reduce the speed of the Large Gap.
Surprisingly good buy.

MZ366 forSuper Sherpa
The KL250G comes with pretty bad suspension, like all bikes below a certain price point. A cult bike in North America now. Not expensive yet, and worth spending on to make things right. The MZ366 with a spring calibrated to match my rider weight does what the guy at Works Performance told me would happen on my SRX6, back in the day. With a good shock, you sort of stop noticing the shock and concentrate on the ride. MZ366 does this for the Super Sherpa. The YSS makes nicely made shocks. I wish mine had more features but they wont fit in the space provided by Chuo and Minato engineers, so the MZ366 is what it is. Among its many virtues, you do not need a tool to change the spring. The YSS staff in the video showing how to change spring are people I would like to meet. I am delighted to make this huge improvement to my SS. Webike deserves a special mention for making the purchase possible, and catering to so many good bikes with good stuff. They have a good site and the shipping to USA is good. Price wise, there is no real alternative for me. The OEM shock can be rebuilt, and generic hydraulic washers and nitrogen are available, maybe a spring found, but YSS off the shelf is worth the investment. View detail
VTR's, not HORNET's.
Quantity unlike HORNET shape:The 1st pc. came from the 1st pc. It was originally the 2nd pic. The words "product conformity guarantee" do not fit.
It appeared to be from an MZSeries VTR.
Also, no matter where you contact, the phone is not answered.
I got an email that the delivery date would be delayed, but I'm glad it arrived earlier than that, but the photo Quantity:1pc. sorry the eye came.
We look forward to your prompt response.
It is appropriate because there is no way to evaluate the details.

Ninja250SL/The OEMFork of the Z250SL is not the most comfortable to ride on the street, as it is soft and has a thrust to it that comes back to you during cornering. Still, the light weight of the vehicle can be deceiving. "I think I'll leave it as OEM - I'll just add a Preload Adjuster..." However, I took the plunge and purchased the Upgrade Kit, partly because I had replaced the Rear suspension with YSS.
For installation, since the fork cap is a C-ring type, an SST with a portion of the clamp cut off is required, but anyone who can change the fork oil can install it themselves.
In case of PD ValveUnit Purchase, many models require orifice modification, but in case of Z250SL, for some reason, there is no description about orifice modification even in Instruction Manual. Large enough to have little or no damping.
Normally, it is necessary to cut the collar for the PD Valve, but the Upgrade Kit comes with a pre-cut collar, so this work is not necessary. It is a hassle to cut the collars horizontally, so it is good that you can install the collars by yourself as long as you can remove the fork caps.
The kit included 30W Fork oil, and the instructions were to put in 300ml each. However, reading some of my predecessors' blogs, etc., I found that some people were installing the kit with the OEM specified 10-15W and the specified amount (about 350ml), so I tried setting it with the latter for the time being. If I feel it bottoms out or is too soft, I will change it to 30W.
The first thing you'll notice when you install it is It's kind of softening." I thought it would be harder because of the Reinforcement Spring, but it was softer in the beginning, and the thrust when riding on the street was drastically reduced and the ride quality was improved.
I went touring with it and attacked the descent of a certain Tsubaki Pass quite seriously, but it held firm against sudden braking and did not bottom out, allowing me to attack with confidence. Even a high degree of freedom in line taking is now even freer. No one rides this Motorcycle and says it can't turn. Cornering has become so much easier that it seems to be.
I also drove Izusuka after that, and to begin with, Izusuka with 250 is not fun because even if you are always at full throttle, you are left behind by the litters, but even at high speed cornering, the front does not come back during cornering, so the line is perfectly set and very comfortable. Of course, since it is an SL, the line can be changed freely even from full bank, but anyway, the increased sense of ground contact of the front gives me a feeling of security.
Preload AdjusterSingle Body was about 10,000, so 35,000 is a good price considering it includes PD Valve and Reinforcement Spring. I think it is worth it. If you are not sure about the price, you will not regret installing it.
The only drawback is that the PD Valve damping adjustment can only be made by draining the Fork oil and removing the PD Valve under the Spring. Although this is unavoidable due to the system of retrofit damping adjustment, the C-ring type top cap is troublesome to remove and install, so I only do it when I change the fork oil, and I do not feel like removing the fork and adjusting it again just because it is a little different after driving.
If you change the front and rear suspension and put on high grip tires around α13-SP It's hard to fall over on a public road unless you're doing it on purpose. It will be a CorneringMachine that makes you feel like you are a part of the world. It makes touring fun because you have a sense of security that you can definitely turn, and you may think that you have become good at it, but be careful, because just because it is a motorcycle that anyone can turn does not mean that you have become good at it.

Worth the price.
I was interested in the PD Valve because the OEMFork of the Z250SL is too soft and it comes back undulating during cornering, but I was hesitant because orifice machining and cutting of the color seems to be troublesome.
I thought about adding only the Preload Adjuster, but then I thought that 35,000 yen including the Reinforcement Spring might not be too expensive.
In the case of Z250SL, if you have a kill to remove the C-ring on the fork top and can change the fork oil, you can install it without any problem.
The advantage of the Kit is that no orifice machining is required? and that the kit comes with a collar that is shorter than the OEM collar, so there is no need to modify it yourself. I thought I would have to modify the orifice anyway, but the instruction manual says that I only need to fit the PD Valve straight to the fork bottom, not to fully reverse the Fork. However, I have seen some people running Ninja 250SL on the Circuit who have modified the orifice, so it is a bit of a mystery, but at least there are no instructions for modification in the Instruction Manual.
When I installed it, it was softer than I expected. Is this really going to attenuate?" But when I started riding out, I was surprised. The ride quality was much better, with less thrust and better road-following performance when riding around town.
Even when fully braked, the bottom doesn't stick out, and the fork doesn't return excessively even when plunging into a high speed corner, so the line is drumstick-set. If you know the Camellia, you will understand the confidence in the suspension when I say that I was able to attack the downhill of the Camellia without any worries.
Since the Z does not run on a circuit, if you consider it for city driving and touring use, I think the parts give you the satisfaction that is worth the price.
There is only one drawback:the PD Valve is a part that is placed under the Spring in the Fork, so if you want to adjust the damping, you have to pull out the Oil and take out the Valve. This is unavoidable because of the retrofitted damping, but it would be nice to be able to adjust it on the car.
If you are a Ninja 250SL or Z250SL rider and are not sure about purchasing this Fork Upgrade Kit If the reason not to buy is price, buy. If the reason to buy is price, don't buy." I would like to offer the following words of wisdom. It is possible to adjust the pre-road, so you can kill three birds with one stone (Pre-road, Reinforcement Spring, and PD Valve).

Initial Adjuster
The shape of the Initial Adjuster is completely different from the picture, and there is no Level for adjustment, so it was difficult to adjust.
In the photo, there is a Level line with Plus screw. In fact, when hardening with 12mmWrench and no Level, it hits the base and cannot be rotated, so it is hard to tell how far it is closed.
It is originally ObjectionLevel.
It also says 20 Oil, but it's actually 15 Oil.
I think they are using the image all over the place.

Difficult to remove Circlip
Purchased for GSX-R125Circuit Running.
The rear suspension was too stiff and didn't stoke at all, so I replaced it with a YSS kit.
Although I haven't run it yet, I can see the change just from the feeling of stroking it.
Installation was not particularly difficult, except for removing and attaching the Circlip.
OEMs also don't need Impact or Special Tool because they only need to remove Cap, Color, Washer, and Spring without making it all Rose.
The specified oil was #30, but I was scared that it would be too hard, so I decided to use KYB #20. I'm going to run it and see how it goes, and then I'll try the specified oil.

The red coil peeking out from the rear is cool.
I was looking for a new suspension when the bump rubber on my OEM suspension, which had bottomed out many times, burst and became unsightly.
The price has gone up now, but when I bought it, it was about 35,000 yen, almost the same price as the OEM, so I bought this one.
The installation was done at the same time as the grease up of the LINK, so it wasn't too hard, but it would be more efficient if two people worked on it.
Now for the performance... Level is just a hair above the OEM suspension.
However, unlike OEM products, the damping can be adjusted, so I set the damping to the harder side and play with the Course.

Fits: KAWASAKI GPZ900R, KAWASAKI GPZ900R
Ideal for replacing the normal suspension of the GPZ900R.
I replaced the Normal suspension on my GPZ900R and A7, which had been running for 32 years and 85,000km. After replacing the suspension, I drove about 100km and found that the suspension was smooth from the initial operation and softer than the OHLINS suspension. The stability of the corner at about 60km/h is excellent. I used to drive a new A12, and this suspension is just like a new NORMAL suspension. The price is also in the low 60,000 yen range, making it the perfect replacement for the NORMAL. If you are riding a GPZ900R with the old suspension, we highly recommend it. In addition, if you like the Circuit or High Speed Corner, you may need to buy a higher grade.
YSS has a good reputation on the Internet, but I was worried about the price. YSS has a good reputation on the net, but I was worried about the price.
Pre-Road is the shipping state (almost in the middle), the elongation is slightly weaker at 10Click, and the ride height is the same as NORMAL.

It arrived ahead of schedule.
Purchased for GSX-R125Circuit riding.
The OEM rear suspension was too stiff and did not stroke, so I looked around and chose the YSS Damper.
Although I was informed that the delivery would be delayed due to being out of stock, I finally received it about a week early.
I was relieved to see that the packaging was well done.
The OEM suspension is tightened with a stupid torque, so it was difficult to loosen it, but other than that, it was installed without any modification.

semiOrderable and cosmetic Shock
[How is it used?
My friend bought a used XJR1300 with Chinese rear shock instead of OEMOHLINSShock, and it had terrible ride quality.
Was the one you received as per Image?
It was very well made and as per Image.
Was the installation difficult?
It is a special product for each model of car, so it is installed by Bolt On, but a friend of mine had it installed by a motorcycle shop.
I thought it would be easy to remove the rear shock nut and replace one side at a time if I just wanted to replace it.
How was your experience with it?
I borrowed it from a friend for two days and test rode it on the street and on a touring trip, and it works well as a Shock and rides very well for the price.
[Included Parts:were they on?
I gave it to a friend without opening the box, so I'm sorry, but I'm not sure about Included Parts:.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
I don't have any complaints about the product, but if I had to say something, I'd say the outer box looks cheap, although I suppose that's because of CostCut.

YSSRear suspension
I have used YSS on my sv650x and now I installed it on my xr100MOTARD. The suspension is flexible and the damping is very effective. The quality is not bad, and the stability in the curve has improved, so it can be used in the circuit. In addition, I liked that this suspension is easy to change the pre-road. View detail
I feel like it's easier to ride.
I bought it because I like the simple design. 1cm shorter than NORMAL, so it is difficult to lean when using STAND, but I think it is more comfortable than the price. View detail

OEM is better.
I bought it because the suspension that came with it at first was rusty and rusty.
It didn't work for me.
good point
● Cheap for a suspension.
A bad point
Fine finish is messy.
It's too hard for Japan's road surface.
I have the impression that the price does not match the performance.
I think it would be just fine if this was an Asia road instead of a Japan road surface.
It's not as good as the OEMs that are designed for the Japanese roads.

Easy to adjust pre-road and damping force
I installed Black on my ADV150. I leave the replacement work to PRO.
I have never used High-end like OHLINS or NITRON, and this is a Review on it.
Please understand the premise.
The initial Suspension of ADV150 has no adjustment function and the official website says "Damper with 120-stroke reserver tank is adopted for Rear Suspension to provide stable damping force, and combined with progressive load characteristics by 3-stage rate spring, it pursues comfortable ride even when driving two people or on rough road. There it is." The original setting is quite firm, as shown in the following table.
Some people say that ADV150 has hard Seat but I thought it is not because of Seat but because of initial Suspension setting. If you have ever adjusted it, you will understand that the comfort adjustment of suspension is totally different for single rider and Tandem assumption (+50kg+ overweight at the back). The early ADV150 is adjusted enough to be comfortable even for Tandem.
So, if I can make it soft when I ride alone, I bought it also to change the color because I felt that the Gold colored Reserver tank was too assertive.
Pre-road adjustment function
This function adjusts the width (distance) at which Spring oscillates.
φSimply turn it with a 5mm Gold genus rod for easy adjustment.
The suspension is infinitely variable, and at the top it is so stiff that the spring almost comes off, and at 30mm down it becomes as stiff as the initial suspension. The ride quality changes visibly, so you can set the ride quality to your liking.
I weigh about 60kg, and I settled on about 15mm, which is a little soft.
φThe 5mm Gold genus rod is placed in the on-board tool and can be adjusted at any time.
Damping force adjustment function
This function adjusts how fast the spring shakes when it receives an impact.
Simply turn the slotted screwdriver for easy adjustment.
Turn Left for Soft (Spring returns slowly), and turn Right for Hard (Spring returns quickly).
In some places, the official YSS description says there are 20 levels, but due to product improvements, there are actually 30 levels.
(On the product that arrived...) "Notice of Product Improvements." (The paper was enclosed with a notice of
……For some reason, with the product I received, I can click 31 steps no matter how many times I count, but well, it's a tiny difference.
Because I don't do any sport driving, I don't feel the effect is as good as the pre-road adjustment above, but it's adjustable anyway.
When initially installed, the Right was 15/31 steps and the Left was 7/31 steps, which for some reason was uneven. It is recommended that you align them yourself immediately after purchase.
Ride height adjustment function
Caution
It seems to be a function that can make the ride height maximum Large+10mm……, but it doesn't exist for ADV150.
The addendum paper was attached that the function is not available for ADV150.
In fact, there were no operable parts.
[Color.
The Black Tank and Spring with the Red Ring is really cool.
I like it very much.
【Review】
Whether you see this price as high or reasonable is up to you.
If you weigh about 80kg, I think the ride quality is not bad even with the initial suspension.
Also, it may look relatively expensive because the body price itself is low.
As for me, I was satisfied with the dress-up effect and the new way to play with it, because it is interesting to run and adjust pre-road on the way out, run and adjust pre-road on the way out……. I think it is one of the most expensive and effective custom parts for ADV150, but if you like ADV150 very much and want to drive it for long time, this is the right part.

Red Spring is a nice touch.
The reverend role of the contraction side of Damper can be adjusted by 30 steps Click. When setting it softly, you can tuck it in and use the SIDE of the tire for cornering. This is a recommendation for those who are not familiar with OEM Response. This is a recommendation for those who are looking for an OEM response. View detail
The result is a reinforced suspension
I installed it on SR400.
The F suspension of SR400 sinks down at once when FBrake is applied strongly.
Control was low and there was a fear that the bottom might fall out.
I thought about changing the oil viscosity and adding a collar, but I thought it would be quicker to replace the spring.
I installed this product.
The result is an Image that is a little too hard.
The sinkage during breaking will be very nice, but it will also increase the sense of thrust.
When you are on a long distance tour, you will feel more tired.
For your reference, the specified oil viscosity at the time of Kit installation is No.20 and the oil level is 150mm.
Includes Top bolt with Preload Adjuster and Damper parts showing the Shim being built in.
I would recommend it for those who are more into driving, but not for those who are more into city driving.
