Re: 2018/19 Rear Shocks
Thank you for your reply... The shown 335mm measurement would be eye to eye centre ? The stock shocks look closer to 350mm.. do you reckon that will be an issue? Cheers

Re: 2018/19 Rear Shocks
2019 model? I would have to hope that the 2018 shocks work on it. I don't know that much about the 2019, but on the 2018 model the aftermarket had to scramble to make new shocks just for it since the area around the shock was modified so much that previous versions of shocks would not fit.
On the YSS Shocks, keep in mind that they have the ability to be adjusted, which is what you wanted.
I have two older models (2013) that I purchased Takegawa 'Lowering' shocks for and they work quite well. Their initial height is less than the original shocks, but because they are adjustable their ride is much better than the original shocks.
The point is, don't base your judgement for performance just on their height out of the box.
As a side note, would you mind going into your profile and including your general location so that we can be of better assistance? This is an international forum. Thanks.

I’ve sorted that profile out. Interesting on the rear shocks. The new model has shocks moved Rearward to accommodate larger airbox.

Re: 2018/19 Rear Shocks
If the shocks have been changed on the 2019 model as apposed to the 2018 model then you will have to live with the original shocks until the aftermarket catches up. However, if the 2018 model has the same shocks, I would seriously look at those YSS adjustable shocks. Quite a few of the forum members have them on their bikes and love them.

Hey thanks so much for your follow-up post. I’ve sent an email to YSS to ask them. I notice in their Parts catalogue they have a few different listings for 2018 model rear shocks.Thanks I will get back to you soon after they reply. Cheers ..https://www.yss.co.th/downloads/YSS_SCOOTER.pdf

While you are at it, can you ask them about front fork upgrade kit as well?

Shipping is indeed expensive.
Check this site as well, owned by a westerner but is based in Thailand. You can compare prices and shipping rates before you decide to buy.
