YSS front fork upgrade kits for Meteor 350


Hamburg based Matthies, the European master distributor for YSS suspension, has added these fork upgrade kits for the Royal Enfield Meteor350.

The kits include an upgrade set of springs, bushes (if needed for the application), a set of YSS PD valves, adjustable fork caps and washers.



The springs are harder than the perfect (new) stock spring and give the rider a better feeling, better handling and more feedback from the street.

"The PD valves add additional damping where, before, the OE set-up is just a spring-based suspension; the bushes make up for the missing length. In general, a spring should be as short as possible to avoid bending, as a result scratching inside the fork tubes - so the bushes compensate for the rest of the missing length to the stock spring".

The fork caps add an extra 12 mm of spring preload adjustment. 

All YSS shock absorbers are designed, manufactured and tested in-house 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 is 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.
