MONO LINE Rear Single Shock [MZ Series] MZ366

Fits: YAMAHA TW225E

Japanese Webike user

3/5

Large things are not explained! It is much shorter than OEM!

Caution before performance crap! This suspension. It's short. (Angry)
It is listed as TW200/225 compatible, and since there is no explanation, I thought it would be the same size, but it is much shorter than the OEM suspension.
If it wasn't the same size, I would have hoped there would have been an explanation. If I had known it was short, I would never have purchased it!

Seeing things, Once I don't have a ShacoTan in my off car. I paid high gold to buy Garbage. I was disappointed.
I doubt the designer's Sense, even if it's the old fashioned Ska tune type Custom. no Sense!

However, I paid a good amount of gold for it, and since it has been sitting for about six months after purchase, I would not be able to return it......so I am in an atrocious mood,
Since it has a coilover function, I extended it to the limit and installed it. Still, it is a little shorter than OEM. Too bad.
Comparing the appearance before installation, the damper section looks thinner and poorer than the OEM.
Pre-road is installed as shipped. Attenuation is at its lowest.
The front side is equipped with a Cartridge emulator and pre-road is also applied.

When installed, the suspension itself is shorter, but the spring rate is higher from the beginning and the sag is reduced, so the Rear ride height is higher at 1G's ride. (The optical axis is lowered.)
This is not the kind of thing I wanted, but I feel ・・・・ indescribable・・・・
Normally I wouldn't want to give it even 1 star, but after riding it... not bad ・・・・
Things are not bad.
It's very well controlled and of high quality. It is clearly different.
Completely stiffer for on road use. The front end tends to cut into the road as the vehicle's ass rises higher than the OEM during cruising.
It picks up fine Gap and has a lumpy feel. However, when stepping on the Gap or swell while turning, it becomes a crisp and snappy leg without wobbling. It is honestly easy to ride.
I think this will increase the risk of cocking up when going off-road, and I don't think it will be a comfortable ride...
It is intended for long-distance travel with luggage, so maybe a harder taste that is not as heavy is not a bad thing...
Supple in the beginning, stiff in the back. Stroke is up if you want....

I didn't get what I wanted due to the lack of explanation, but things are good from a different perspective and well, this is what I got.... It was the Rear Suspension that made me feel indescribable.
I don't like even 1 star if it's just for the emotion. But considering the performance of the product, it's not bad at all, in fact, it's rather admirable. I rated it as 3 Stars because of this.
It is very good for on road driving....
Whatever the case may be, I would have liked to have seen a better description of the product.

This would be good for those who are customizing for on road or want to lower the ride height.
The stiffer design may be suitable for heavier people or those who carry a lot of luggage.

Sorry for the poem. View detail

I bought it just for the color.

I won't know for sure until I ride it for a while, but I bought it just for the color, so I am not particular about its performance. View detail

Four months for delivery.... The product is good!

Not conformity But I was able to use it for MVAGUSTAF3.

The front and rear suspension on the MVAGUSTAF3 is too hard. It is also played by the Gap in the city, and also gets pushed up on the highway.
I lowered the Initial and oil level on the Front, but it is still too hard to use the Stroke effectively.
I looked for a soft spring, but could not find one for F3, so I looked on the web and purchased this YSS with a similar spring diameter from Webike. However, the delivery time was long - it took 4 months from order to arrival.

YSSFront fork spring
[Outer Diameter ] 38.0mm
[Free Length 230mm
Spring rate 8.5N/mm
[Corresponding Model Type] CBR900RRFire blade、CBR1000RR、ZX-10R、GSX-R1000、YZF-R1

Compared to the OEM front spring, the free length is 10mm shorter, but the Initial Adjuster can be adjusted from 0 to 13mm to produce a proper 1G sag.
When I actually rode the car, it changed to a front suspension that normally works properly.

The Rear also can be changed to Spring by Hyper pro to create a standard Japanese suspension that can be enjoyed by Japanese people.
For F3, we recommend replacing the front and rear Springs. View detail

3/5

It looks very beautiful. But it bounces.

The rear shock of the ADDRESSV125S was damaged due to age-related deterioration, so we replaced it with a reliable KITACO shock.
The replacement itself is easy, just a 14mm Glasses Wrench, Phillips Screwdriver and a 10mm or 12mm Socket.
The overall length is the same as the OEM model (315mm), so it can be replaced without any change in ride height. The replacement was completed easily in about 30 minutes.

Pre-road is not touched and hung, and when I finally got on it, it bounced on bumps anyway. (Always one person on board)
I think the Spring rate is high due to the small number of Spring rolls, and I don't feel much improvement in traction, which I was hoping for the most.
I'm going to try to adjust it with pre-road adjustment etc., but I don't have high expectations for it. It is just too sticky and not at all flexible.
The effective Stroke seems to be short and I am wondering about the damping force against the Spring rate. I can't even feel the damping force.
It is too hard to shrink and too resilient. It is like the four wheels of ShacoTan.
The damaged OEM suspension was also Large approximate, but I didn't expect it to bounce more than that. Perhaps the OEM was more supple with the way the Spring was wrapped.
I thought it was a shame because it looks beautiful and the details look well made. View detail

Self-satisfaction Level?

I bought this product because the OEM cap was plastic and the texture was not good (dirt and fogging). View detail

Rear Suspension

Fits: HONDA CT125CT110 HUNTER CUB

3/5

Footing is not much different from NORMAL.

[How is it used?
From city driving to touring
Was the one you received as per Image?
As you can see in the image, it looks the same as NORMAL, but the Dust cover of the Piston rod (?) is not there, so you can see the entire Plating ROD. The Dust cover of the Piston rod (?) is missing, so the ROD of the Plating is fully visible.
Was the installation difficult?
It is not difficult to remove the Exhaust System, but the work itself is not difficult.
How was your experience with it?
I have short legs, so I expected the height of the car to drop, but it doesn't drop that much.
However, it may be good because Side Stand can be used as it is
Pre-road is similar to JA65 as it has 5-stage switching, but it looks a little cheap as it does not have Dust Boots!
Dumping characteristics are not clear to the layman, but the ride is comfortable!
When I rode with the FFork thrust set to NORMAL with the pre-road at its weakest, I felt the car was a little forward, but it was probably just my imagination.
[Included Parts:were they on?
Pre-road switching tool is included.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
Nothing in particular
Point and hang of installation
Exhaust System side:Remove the Engine Under Cover, remove the SIDE bar One Side lower bolt, and turn it downwards to make it easier to remove the Exhaust System.
[With or without Instruction Manual
There is no such thing as an installation instruction manual. View detail

Installed on MONKEY

The oil was leaking from a certain company's rear suspension that I had been using until then, and since I was scheduled to go touring in a few days, I decided to purchase this product because of its price and delivery time.
Can be installed on either MONKEY or CUB with or without the included collar. Damping force can be adjusted with the included special tool.
I think the cosmetics are good and the performance is fine.
I just wish there were several different colors. View detail

That's still hard.

The hardest Spring was hard to push up from the road surface, so I changed to the softest one, but even with the Oil set to Light, the push up from the road surface was quite strong. When I push and pull at a stop, it is very mild and good feeling, but when I go over a slightly large gap, it is very, very hard. View detail
