Royal Enfield HIMALAYAN - YSS Suspension
Hello!
In today's video Dirt Don & I check out the YSS suspension for the Royal Enfield Himalayan. We did a back to back test against the stock suspension to know if the YSS can add more off-road capability to a competent adventure tourer.
Talking about the Himalayan, the fact is that this motorcycle blew the lid off the adventure touring segment in India. Soon, BMW, KTM & Hero followed suit with their version of the adventure touring motorcycle. And all this is good news because today we have more choices and can choose amongst the available motorcycles the one that fit us best.
About the YSS, we are convinced that if you do some spirited and enthusiastic off-road riding then the YSS is a worthy modification for your Himalayan.
For more information on the suspension kit availability in India please visit www.speedmottorad.in/#yss
Hope you enjoy the video. Cheers!

Hey Boski - thank you very much for such a nice, relaxed, but to the point and with no nonsense video... Was a pleasure to watch actually. I wish those youngsters would learn from this.... Thanks again! 👍👍👍

Hi! Glad you liked the video. Cheers!
So glad I found you guys here on the internet. That was some quality content. Thank you so much ! Hello Mr Dirt Dawn, it's indeed a pleasure to know that you raced the mighty SUZUKI SHOGUN during your days. That's one of my most favorite motorcycles ever. I rode it as a teenager... It was the real street hooligan bike ! Now, I ride a Hero Impulse. I'm doing some research on installing an after market suspension. I use it for trail riding. Please keep riding & posting videos. Thank You ! :)

Hagon in the UK also make a rear shock for the Himalayan, and at a decent price. They build it to your weight and can make it longer if required. I haven't tried one on the Himalayan, but they make good products at a good price. Just another option for owners.

Hello sir, You have said that while rider is sitting shock is not compressing. But for good control and traction it should compress (180/4) 45 mm from uncompressed height. Have you jacked up the preload to suit you ? As for test rider it is visibly stiffer spring.

The shock does compress some with a progressive action. The springs are stiffer and hence behaves firmly on smooth roads and acts well on rough roads. Overall, the motorcycle with YSS is more planted and stable when posed hard in rough terrain. Cheers!
Awesome and useful presentation. Can you let us know where did this shoot happen? Place looks interesting too.

Hi! Dirt Don has sold his Himalayan a few months ago. Whatever Himalayan you see him on of late, it’s borrowed! 😀
Is there any long travel suspension setup available for interceptor rather than Himalayan or should i try yss Himalayan shock setup for interceptor as long travel suspension setup. Correct me if am wrong.😊
@bigbearbangalore
Жыл бұрын
There is no ready long travel suspension for the 650. It would be better to get a Himmer with a YSS which would be more rewarding to the rider on bad roads and when off roading. Cheers!

Hi! The performance is better on tarmac too! The bike is more stable and does not wallow and get unsettled on ripples when leaned over in turns at speeds.

is there any way to increase seat height of Himalayan

Hi! One way is to add more foam on the seat. This is the cheapest easiest and quickest way. Plus it can be undone if you don’t like it. Ensure that you add a layer of hard foam maintaining the same seat profile.

Why no desi company cant make shockers?

That's likely because the market for after-market shocks is too small and the Indian market is super price sensitive. No return on investment.
Change your tyre which are for off road

Yes, a more off-road oriented tyre will be better for hardcore off-roading. And for now, prefer to retain the stock dual-purpose CEAT since this motorcycle is used a lot on regular tarmac roads. Cheers!

Zedling suspension made in India makes far better suspension unit for front and rear, tailored for your riding style and weight vs all international brands which are made for a std. rider weight of 70 -80 kgs. when youre YSS blows a seal and starts leaking, you have no service or support here in india either.

@@bigbearbangalore no problem, the zedling also uses a 6082 aluminium body just like the yss, however unlike the yss it has a 2 piston, 3 chamber design that ensures no cavitation (formation of vapour bubbles) which extends service intervals + lifetime support , which includes parts and service for the unit and technical support for setting it up.
