I agree with OGN. Just got my YSS in the mail yesterday. If I had more discretionary income, I probably would have purchased the Ohlins.
The dampener dial that allows you to customize the stiffness looks kinda cool, but again, that is a pretty high performance shock.
I am not an experienced enough rider to probably tell much of a difference in the feel on the road.
That being said, I am an expert at feeling whether my bank account has been dampened or not!
My main deciding factor was price. For me, personally, the YSS gave me the most for my limited funds.
Now to get that glorified slinky installed on Shadynasty!

where did you get your YSS shock from?

had anyone modified (soften) the stock front suspension? How?

SOFTEN IT?!?!??! stock front springs are sprung for like a 130lb rider!

Its likely you are already bottoming them out thats why they feel so stiff.

Check it yourself. Pop a ziptie around the lower fork tube (not too tight but tight enough that it will stay in place once moved by the upper tube) Then you can see how much travel you are actually using.

youve got to stop using your rear brake! the rear brake is pretty much insta death!

ugh...no its not... proper use of the rear brake will make you a good rider.


Stock suspension is what it is stock... front is horribly soft and not properly dampened and the rear is possibly a lil stiff and not properly dampened.
