How the YS-1480 Affects Handling

The Yokomo YS-1480 HSS Long Shock Spring is an aftermarket replacement designed to sit inside typical shock assemblies and alter the effective spring rate and feel. The orange finish marks this HSS line and the item is targeted at tuners rather than original equipment repair.

As a purely mechanical component, the spring changes how the shock compresses and rebounds by fitting over the shock shaft within the body. It is an efficient way to adjust mid-stroke support and overall stiffness without immediately changing pistons or damper fluid.

Basic installation is simple for anyone comfortable with threaded shock parts: disassemble, remove the stock spring, place the YS-1480 and reassemble. Afterward, set preload and check ride height before undertaking longer test runs.

Tuning pointers: expect modest shifts in cornering balance and mid-stroke support when swapping spring rates or lengths. Use spring changes alongside oil and collar adjustments for a more controlled setup.

Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

How will this spring change corner entry and mid-corner grip?

A stiffer or longer spring typically increases mid-stroke support and can reduce dive on corner entry, affecting balance. Test changes incrementally and note handling differences.

Should I alter damper oil when fitting the YS-1480?

Often a spring change pairs well with oil adjustments to maintain the desired damping curve; consider slightly different viscosities to complement the new spring rate.

Any tips for setting preload and collars?

Start with minimal preload and raise it in small increments while testing. Adjustable collars let you tune ride height and initial spring tension without swapping parts.
