- The new YSS rear shock has arrived, just wonderful news. I really wanted a Red one but Brook Suspension said that the standard was black. A red spring could be fitted at an extra £80. Imagine my delight when opening the box and there is a glorious red spring, just a work of art. So now I can finish the bike, everything will be complete, that is if I can reach the floor...why am I so nervous!

Thank you for this video
I installed my YSS rear spring yesterday 07-06-'24
I follow your video and it was a easy yob.
Again thank you.
Perfect Mike, well done 👍
Thanks to you Normski I finally managed to replace my 1150GSA suspension with a refurbished original unit
I did take the exhaust off
PlusGas is amazing stuff
Unscrewed the lower retaining bolt so far before the ratchet handle fouled against the exhaust stub, fortunately there is a hole in the socket the right size to slide a screwdriver through to turn it in a tight spot 😁
Job done and all tightened up to the correct torque settings!
That is just the best news ever. Well done🤗
Yay! The next part in the on going series!!
Hopefully a 1100gs or K100 RS
Almost at the final part…the first ride 😵💫
Great stuff ! Looks ace 👌 side stand looks fine too..... just needs painting 😃
Painted it yesterday …black now 🤗
Set the SAG and rebound before you ride - installation is only half the job🕊
A video filled with high suspense and tension ,Norm ! . Absolutely delighted with the shock ,and how you have made changes to get a manageable seat height .The sidestand foot will be a great help when lifting the bike upright with a heavy load of fuel .
Hi Graham…almost there 🥳
She looks beautiful Norm, outstanding job!
Thanks Zero…very close now😍
So nice following you.
Looks absolutely superb Norm. That rear shock looks quality, clever design on the adjuster. Look forward to watching the first ride out 🤞
Soon….very soon 🥳
Great job Norm. Chuffed for you. Bike looks great.
Thanks Martyn, now let’s see how it rides 🤷🏼♂️🤗
The side stand is made to support the weight of the bike, not as a mounting aid.
Hi Banana, do not understand your comment. Cannot mount on a side stand?
@@normskichanneltwo635 lts probably strong enough but bad practice, better to use the kerb.
Hi Banana, I just cannot understand what you mean so I watched my own video again. I think you are maybe a little mixed up. At the end of fitting the new shock I put the seats on and get on the bike stepping on the riders FOOTREST as most riders do. Not the side stand, which as you say would be very bad, even if you can work a way of doing it?
@@normski3091 'Shall we have a look through the arched window?' My point is you are expecting the sidestand to resist (long term) most of your mass and most of the bike and luggage mass as you mount it with the sidestand down. Was it designed to do this? Try googling 'motorcycle sidestand strength'
Mate, those spark plug covers look OK in orange, but I really think they should be red!😍
Good point…the new owner may pick this up and order a can of red spray🤗
Phew, I bet you are relieved ! It looks fantastic Norm - what a great series it has been. What’s next I wonder?
Thanks David, I just love GS’s, my RT is going to feel abandoned 😢
that is AWESOME can't wait for the next video and your first ride out on it.........
Hi Phil, I am always nervous of the first ride 🤔🤷🏼♂️
@@normski3091 I’ll ride it for you 😀.
I’m with out my baby GSA right now I bought over from Canada with me and oh what a process that’s been now waiting for a conformity test at there Derby location, it should pass there’s nothing for me to change now the main thing was the Speedo change from Km to Miles that was a beemer ouch but compliant now lights all good too. Now it’s bite nails time till that’s done then hopefully I get my UK V5 and plate yaAAaa
Hi Phil, ha ha the two things I hate, hitting the starter motor after a big renovation and then the first ride 🤷🏼♂️.
When I rebuilt my sons 1200GS after the engine blew up it started first time. Took it for its first ride and filled the street with white exhaust 😱
Rang Mark Croft who changes my tyres with his mobile service, he is an ex superbike mechanic, and he said take it out in the middle of the night and blast it at full revs 😵💫.
He was right, the silencer was coated in oil from the engine explosion, after 20 minutes it was all burnt off🤗
@@normski3091 hope you have good neighbours 😉
Stay safe mate
Absolutely brilliant stuff! My 1150 looks like sh1te in comparison. 😅
Hopefully this year I'll get some time to spruce her up, but it's just been too much fun riding her. 😉
I hope you have a great time with this absolutely stunning piece of machinery and when I do mine up, I will use your videos as a guide.
Fantastic Jochen and you will love doing her up. First ride planned for Thursday, I am surprisingly nervous 😩
Have you ridden it yet? What's it like?
Hi Paul...yes and it was wonderful EXCEPT still too tall for me. I had myself measured and I have gone from a 30" inside leg to a 29", that doesn't help. It is a lot better but I am on the balls of my feet and it makes me nervous at every junction. You will see the ride on TH-cam 8am Monday. Loved it so much I have an appointment with BMW Monday to 'fit' me on a new one. Although I built this 1150GS for me and spent a lot, I have decided to order a new 1250GS Triple Black and will trade in my 2018 1200RT and sell the 1150GS...sob sob. Will be a bargain for someone as in total it has cost me just under £6000...madness I know. BMW tell me that although on paper the GS bikes are all 850mm high the older models such as the 1150 have wider seats and can easily cost you an inch or so!
Hi, I have a standard r1150gs and my original rear shock absorber is totally worn out, I wanted to ask you kindly how you felt about your YSS suspension, is it a quality suspension? Do you recommend it to me? Thank you
Hi Delantero, YSS are not in the same quality bracket as shocks like Ohlins etc, but they are affordable and in my experience very well made. I first fitted the YSS to my sons 2005GS, the one that blew up, and it was really good. I do not think you will be disappointed if you install one. Be careful because the first rear shock I fitted to the 1150GS there was no way you could adjust the shock once it was installed. Had to return it and order the one with the cable and adjuster. Even the YSS dealer did not know it wouldn’t work on a 1150GS😵💫
@@normski3091 Thank you, you were very kind, one last question: I saw that they gave you the red spring, is there a difference from the black one or is it just a question of colour? thanks again
Yes I wanted a red spring but the dealer said black was standard and a red spring would cost a lot extra. However when I ordered the shock with the control on the cable, which was also going to be black, they emailed me to say this had to be ordered from the YSS factory in Thailand and would take 6 weeks, which it did.
When it arrived it had the Red Spring, no extra cost🤗
What is the Part number ? or full name of the product. Love to have the same.
Hi Martin, Sure it was this one: BMW R 1150 RS YSS MZ456 (+HPA) Shock Absorber (02-05). Log onto BROOK SUSPENSION and cut and paste this reference. Just under £500.
I plan to visit the factory this winter. Hope to purcase them there. Thank you for replying.
Even better Martin
A job well done, Norm! It looks brilliant! I like that YSS rear shock, do you perhaps have the website address that you ordered it from, I need a shock for an ‘07 GS 1200? (Apologies for ending a sentence with a preposition😃😉) Cheers Richard 🇿🇦🏍👍🍺
Hi Richard, Brook Suspension in Bradford, just search on Google. If you ring or email ask for Marc…he is just brilliant 🤩
