Soft Silicon O Rings to Tune Damper Feel

The Yokomo YOKYS7S Silicon O Ring (Soft) 8pcs is a spare set of soft silicon O-ring seals intended for RC shock and damper assemblies. Each pack contains eight soft rings intended to alter friction characteristics where a softer sealing surface is wanted for smoother piston action.

These rings act as replacement seals within shock assemblies or on piston shafts that take O-ring style seals. The eight-piece quantity is practical for servicing multiple small dampers or keeping spares in a tuning kit.

Installation is a routine shock service task: remove the shock cap or end, take out the worn O ring, clean the seating surfaces of oil and debris, then press the soft O ring into its groove prior to reassembly. Standard shock tools and a clean bench are all that are needed.

From a tuning perspective, softer O rings influence low-travel friction and can modify the damper's initial feel and micro-response. Choose these soft YOKYS7S rings when aiming for a freer return or to replace old, stiff seals to regain smooth operation.

Keep a spare pack on hand in your tuning kit to quickly experiment with seal softness and maintain consistent shock performance.

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.
Softer O rings reduce seal friction during small shaft movements, making the damper feel less restrictive at the start of travel and improving responsiveness to minor inputs.
Mixing hardnesses can be used as a tuning technique, but ensure balanced installation across shocks to avoid asymmetric behavior; test changes incrementally to evaluate handling effects.
They primarily change friction at low shaft travel and have limited effect on bulk damping rates, but you may notice small interactions with very light oils; pair changes with standard tuning tests.
After fitting, cycle the shocks through full travel to bed the seals, then perform short on-track or bench tests to compare initial feel and small-amplitude response before committing to further adjustments.
