Rear shock rebuild

[till46]

I have an r6 shock on my f2 but oil leaked out last week so needs a rebuild, do I get the shock rebuilt or buy a new standard one??
Any recommendations for rebuild companies / price vs a new shock??
Thanks

Have you considered a Yss ?
Great value shock, and designed for the bike. That's what I would spend my money on. Plus a 2 year guarantee, and rebuildable should you need to.

I ve had the same mate. It will cost you at least 150quit to rebuild. I bought another 2nd hand from 2002 instead of 2000. This cost me 50€.
I am still happy with the damping adjustments of the R6 shock.
Never tested a yss shock though.

How much are we talking for a YSS shock?

Get a YSS. Ive asked in a number if places and no one can tell me how much or what type oil, or how much nitrogen goes in any of our shocks... Id I knew I'd rebuild them.

hi Jon

Have you got a YSS, I'm trying to track down which model number for the 31K and F1

Gone onto Wemoto's Aus site? but get no where with it

I have several Howard, LC and RZ.

Its all the same shock on the RZ, SAB016 on yambits:
yambits.co.uk/rd350-ypvs-nitrogen-mono-shock-p-58005.html

I always shop around and see what the vat free price and the post is on stuff at this price point of course as 20% on 200+quid items is a lot. Ymabits usually comes out best when i look.

beware wemoto will GST you at source, but its under the $1k limit, ie like buying on ebay/amazon etc.

Hi Jon

Thanks for that, you don't happen to have the YSS part number at all

I was hoping the wemoto.au site would give me the answer however its a pain to use and I end up getting nowhere

[JonW]

Its a 316TR or something like that, but no, i dont have one handy sorry. The Yambits ones are the correct ones, ie with the adjustment to raise the back if needed/wanted.

Trust me Wemoto will cost you more, Ive not ever found them cheaper on these for us.

Hi Jon

Cheers for that I think its got 950 or 965 in there somewhere too

I was only using wemoto to try and get the part number, i was hoping to get onto the YSS site itself to see if i could source from there

Any one have the part number at all?

I tried that once and gave up, they didnt want to talk English to me or sell to Aus so I gave up. You can buy locally as well, but none of us could afford that :/

I did find the correct part number on their website tho in the catalogue actually, but it wast easy. This was a while ago before they sold quite so readily on sites we can more simply buy from.

[JonW]

I think these are what I have... Id have to find one of the boxes tho to be 100% sure im not talking about the LC instead of the RZ etc.

www.ebay.com.au/itm/ADJUSTABLE-YSS-SHOCK-ABSORBER-YAMAHA-RZ-350-LC-75-89-MZ366-315TRL-13/401751268024?epid=24020263706&hash=item5d8a3ddab8:g:bJkAAOSwXq5ctyxn&frcectupt=true

Im wondering if the 315 is the adjustable and the 290 not? they sound like 'lengths', but mine is not fixed and some sites say 285-295 as the length which sounds about right. hmm...

Of course Doohanno's pic above looks like the same shock from what i can see of the pic, but strange its diff part numbers.

Someone on here knows for sure and will get to the part number quicker than I can hobble and pull from boxes, if not ill look for you when I can of course.

Thanks Mr doohan

Ahh yes Jon, I forgot about that hobble,

I think we are on the right track

Howard

[dusty350]

Pretty sure the 315 is the Lc shock and the 290 is the Pv. I will try and find my box for the shock today to confirm the Lc part number. The YSS part numbers correspond to the length of each shock I believe.
