Are These YSS Shocks Adjustable?

Post by Variant »

Does anyone know this type of YSS shock? I have been unable to find useful information on them. I know (roughly) how to adjust the pre-load but I dont know if this type has adjustable rebound with the hex key? It has warnings about letting the gas out so dont want to experiment... thanks

If it was adjustable it would have a knob that can be turned by hand. How does the other end look like?

Preload is adjustable.

I have the shocks on my Xmax. They are preload adjustable only. The next ones up in the line which are all black, have pre-load plus dampening adjustability, but not these.

I suspected as much, thank you. Did you find that they improved your ride any?

About as much as a new haircut improves your French.

Yes, it did for me. However the main reason I got it was because it makes speed bumps much more comfortable. And I have about 10 of them in my neighborhood complex…

I hear you on the speed bumps, I lived in a small town in Mexico for a while, Mexico is crazy about speed bumps. I counted 89 between me and the supermarket about a half hour ride away. I was riding a Burgman 400 then. That was nothing compared to the cobblestone streets there though, I had to take the top box off because it was so bumpy
