Highly Adjustable Rear Suspension for the Grom
About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of the rear shock absorber from YSS, the construction of this product compared to the Honda one is a huge improvement. All the metal surface and paint finishes are perfect. About the feeling of use: The feel from the rear end is much more controlled now with a suitably rated spring, unlike the Honda one designed for a 60kg rider the YSS shock can handle my 80kg with ease. Products to buy together: Some higher rated front fork springs would also be desirable to purchase along side the rear shock absorber and Kitaco have 5.5N, 6.0N, 6.5N and 7.0N options compared to the Honda 3.8N as standard. Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes about an hour, only 2 bolts holding it in place, I removed the rear hugger, seat and rear plastics then supported the rear of the motorcyce with an A frame and strap. A little difficult to do. Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as you are getting a quality built rear shock absorber with all the adjustments available, pretty much all most people need as compared to the much more expensive Ohlins option that a lot of people go for which is over kill but does look more impressive. About shipping and packaging: Sea frieght is my preferred method of shipping due to the lower cost but not available for this product due to the gas and oil in the product I am assuming. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: If you are looking for a fully adjustable and well priced rear shock absorber that will solve all the problems that the Honda one has then look no further.
