Dear Shifus and Maha Gurus.
Is anyone is using the YSS Absorber E-Lite?
I have read a posting in GTSrider that the performances is good. Straight line stability and cornering stability is better than what we have in GTS. I qoute form Jinblack posting. But he failed to indicate tyre than he used. Is he been using the YSS abs with Maxxis or he has been using the different type of tyres? He said the YSS Absorber cost him RM700.

My question:
Is it worth it is changing only the YSS abs but maintain the Maxxis tyres rather changing front and rear tyre to Bridgestone? Changing Tyre FnR may cost us RM 500. Use the YSS E-Lite with Maxxis, how is the performance?
Or just changing the FnR tyres just enough to improve the stability?

Need clarification.

indotolok..I was told by my mechanic here in Nilai that its better to keep the stock suspensions as they're already doing a great job albeit a fantastic one. After riding the GTS for about 1 mth plus, I tend to agree with him. Unless you have extra cash to burn, changing to YSS absorbers might give you some added improvement. I googled and found out that it could cost you less than RM700. Check it out a sample at 88db here http://my.88db.com/m.../?PostID=116502

Personally, I would go for the tires first. wink.gif

IMHO use the best tire you can afford. The tire is the only contact you have with the road.

One of major qualms, i had from day 1 since i got my GTS, has always been, what i've felt to be overly soft front suspensions which are prone to dive when braked hard, allowing for little correction (another reason why i like Vespas for its legendary anti dive front forks! Vespas enthusiasts even swear the front rises when braked hard. Must be darn weird feeling!!) Coming back to GTS, maybe the front forks settings tendency to dive are considered normal given that the GTS is a heavy bike (and that it's no sports bike!), plus the fact that i'm no feather weight myself, tipping the scales at 83kg!! Hahaha!

I find the rear absorbers a tad too harsh for my liking & has the tendency to bounce over uneven gravelly patches of road. I've been eyeing with interest the YSS absorbers but 700 is no mean sum to pay. Heard that it can be bought cheaper? But where? Pls advice.

One review of 2009 Sym scooters. Note the price of the 200cc, albeit on a different body. 2990 Euros. Do the math.

Think not. Over here, vehicle parts need the biggest nuts and bolts and screwed maximum tight lest our moonscape passed as roads by the authority will shake'em hard till they fall apart.

Do u think SYM can use adhesives instead of welding the frame joints together to save on costs like the TATA NANO?

To one Mr John working as a senior clerk in down town London, earning 3000 Euro per month, the price means he can buy it with the next pay cheque if he can bring himself to endure 'maggi mee' run the following month. smile_clown.gif
