YSS Suspension

Hi Guys'n'Gals.
Has anyone had any experience with YSS Suspension?

I have included web links to rear shock and fork springs and preload caps.
I am not a track rider, just road use. I dearly love my RC but I do not love the back shock.
I feel it is lacking in damping, and rebounds too quick. I feel a good shock will transform my RC.

I find the front end great, no complaints, but know from past experience that if I upgrade the rear shock the front will suddenly feel like crap.
So I am looking for some advice.
Many thanks in advance

Several Duke/RC riders use YSS and some are happy.
During my search for replacements, YSS Thailand (manufacturer) was the ONLY one not responding to my 2 email requests.
Mupo, Nitron, Öhlins, K-tech and others replied within a reasonable time.
This was approx September 2021 but still no reply from YSS.
I figured if they will be like this after you have purchased one and have an issue I'd rather pass.
Got a Nitron R1. and Mupo fork inserts, happy.

Did you end up purchasing the YSS items above? I am looking at purchasing the same ones for my bike.

Hi Mate, no not yet.
Apart from the Duke forums I have only read a review from another Aussie who built a track bike
and used one of YSS top range rear shocks. He raved about it.
The duke forum responses are mixed, some seem really happy and some dont.
The YSS shock only had rebound, not compression damping, adjustment but is the most affordable.

Ok thanks for that mate good tips. I'll probably just shell out and get a full cartridge kit and better rear shock as I am planning on doing a fair bit of track work with the bike.
