YSS Z1 cartridge kits
Hamburg based distributor Matthies is the European master distributor for the YSS suspension products range.
Seen here, these open cartridge kits convert standard right-side up forks to fully adjustable forks - rebound, compression and spring preload.
They are a replacement for existing springs and bushes, so are an easy, modification-free, fully reversible installation that come ready-to-mount and include a new style adjustable fork cap for the preload adjustment. All that is needed is to replace the oil and the air.
Though not homologated, they are not visible since they hide inside the fork - making for a suspension that performs better than anyone might suspect from the outside.
"All YSS shock absorbers are designed, manufactured and tested at YSS' state-of-the-art factory in Thailand by a team of 270+ knowledgeable and innovative staff. Each shock is heat-treated for optimised strength and durability and shot-peened for a professional finish.
"YSS has been producing motorcycle suspensions for over 30 years and are said to be the world’s largest aftermarket shock absorber manufacturer, producing over two million units per year, and is supported by its Europe based research and development team". All YSS suspension products are covered by a two-year manufacturer warranty.
