Monoshock mod on YBR250/YS250

[modron]

tried but failed

Any motorcycle spare parts shops in your neighborhood, where you can touch, smell, bite, lick some shocks?

[modron]

There is a "motorcycle market" or so its called but only parts there for scooters and those 125 utility bikes.
I still didnt decide if I should ride my YBR or buy new XTZ125, it all depends on the amount of time I can get off from work and if Ill go to Mongolia or not.
Will keep you posted

Modron and me found 2 different shocks on ebay, each with different specs. Which one would be better for a trip to Europe with heavy luggage: A or B?

Thanks Humanbeing, I might try that 200kuai shock just to see whats that. After all the shop is only a days ride from me.


As Tramper said, these 2 screenshots above are from ebay. First shock is for YBR and the second one for Ninja. Im thinking whats the "spring load 1 & 2". For YBR it is 115N/m, does it mean its stiffer? more force required to compress the spring? (than Ninjas 80N/m)

Sorry, if its a stupid question but Ive never looked into suspension science
