R9T: Before You Buy a WILBERS SHOCK ... WATCH THIS!

R9T: Before You Buy a WILBERS SHOCK ... WATCH THIS!
Not all Motorcycle Shock Suspension provides the adjustability required to perfectly dial-in your R9T ride. The BMW R NineT OEM Shock is limited in adjustability. But upgrading a motorcycle shock should be done with some research and consideration into what your long term expectations are. This video helps you buy the right shock for YOUR needs, possibly helping you avoid an expensive mistake!

In this video I discuss one outstanding shock which has proven race pedigree to back up the hype.

🛠 By the end of this video, you'll understand WHAT to look for and WHY to choose one shock over another as I walk through three of the leading shocks from YSS Suspension, and ultimately present a shock rivalling and arguably better than that manufactured by Wilbers Suspension.

🔔 This is for the BMW R Nine T and similar editions of the NineT Heritage motorcycles.

I am about to pull the pin on the YSS full phat H1RL for my R nine T Urban GS ( here in NZ ) , plus a Cartridge kit for the un-adjustable front forks ... you should get a commission

Good video as always, definitely feel it’s worth spending the extra on the h1wrl good luck buddy 🏁

Love your vids fella! Very helpful and informative.

I ended up going for the top model YSS shock that you’ve got based on value for money (basically get all the functionality but at a price you wouldn’t get a hydraulic pre-load adjuster on the Wilbers or Ohlins etc.) and I felt the aesthetics were better suited to the NineT. It stands out enough to count due to the fine finish of the product but doesn’t come with weird colours that just look out of place on a heritage styled bike.

One question that I do have though is where did you locate your pre-load adjuster knob? Like you, I’ve had to remove my rear sub-frame (due to my HP-Corse exhaust not fitting with it in place) and am wondering where to put the adjuster knob now?

I’ve been right through all your vids and the shots with the YSS shock installed are either from the left side or the adjuster knob has been detached for some reason. Any advice on how you mounted yours would be appreciated.

Keep up the top work on the vids too! They are appreciated!

How is yss for cumfort? Looking at it for a touring bike

I wanted simplicity so went for a Nitron basic shock.

Hi sir just a question, the H1RL do you think it is good for high speed street riding and occasional track ride? My oem I think is broken now and from what I’ve observed was it was way down below every time I sit on the bike, not like before it does not go down to the max. Riding a BMW R nine T (k21)
