I like your videos and watch all of them ,IM 70 years old but former Pro racer and wish your Chanel good , But what you said about Ohlins it not right and they much better then YSS !!
Hi Semyon :-) I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos. As for Ohlins , I think they are a great shock, the only issue I see with one Ohlins model made for the R9T (the STX Blackline) is the fitment issue for 2017 Euro 4 models onwards, which Ohlins have confirmed on their website. imho Ohlins is more "track focused" than "street focused" for the R9T, where-as the YSS is in the middle "Track/Street" imho. As for being a former Pro Racer, I can only say as an amateur racer, that I am envious!!😄 What many wonderful memories & successes you must have of those days, and great friends you would have made ...and maybe some enemies for the podium..lol😆. Thanks for sharing your thoughts & experience for our other members to enjoy.
Thanks for sharing @mengaw-yong2490, yeah for sure the OEM Sachs shock isnt the best. It's unfortunate that you couldn't find a YSS shock supplier. But the Wilbers shocks are also a great choice👍. 😃
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)
Hey there @vanfelix5093, my apologies for my tardy reply. Although in the video I recommend the H1WRL, the H1RL for road and an occasional Track Day is an absolutely great choice, leaving you with cash in the pocket for something else. So in my opinion yes the H1RL is a great option if you are not doing track days multiple times a month. For sure it's an improvement on the Sachs OEM factory shock even though it still doesnt have Compression adjustability, which is especially useful and noticeable changing between different tracks/courses. I hope I have answered your question. All the best with your research into the range of shocks out there. Thanks for watching and take care 👊✊️👍😀
Hi @Andrewsoldan6050, if you don't have a local suspension specialist who can source YSS product, I suggest doing a quick search online and you'll find suppliers. Such as : www.partseurope.eu/en/brands/yss www.xlmoto.co.uk/brand/yss-suspension brooksbarn.co.uk/brands/yss/ and others... They should be able to source the exact model with the correct spring rate for your bike. If you install it yourself, depending on the model, you may need to make a mounting bracket for the Preload adjuster. I hope that info helps you and enjoy your R9T 👊✊👍
Hey there @Cheng Wu😃, if you're considering the Ohlins STX Blackline, they might work for some, but be aware that it has issues in regards to clearance on 2017 Euro 4 models onwards, which means it doesn't fit due to the charcoal filtering canister and/or if you run the High Acrapovic Exhaust/Silencer. You could consider it if you dont have either, but the YSS doesnt have these issues due to it's better design for the R9T. Also the H1WRL is actually better for Track Days while also being fantastic On Street. The Ohlins are good, but the YSS imo are GREAT!😄 👍

Good video as always, definitely feel it’s worth spending the extra on the h1wrl good luck buddy 🏁
Hey @Barry Rose I'm glad you enjoyed it!!😁 Yeah its a must for anyone that cant help tweaking their machine to the perfect ride.... Like many of us 🤪
The standard sachs on my 2016 roadster was awful tried to fire the yes h1wrl in uk to no avail the Wilbers is much better.

@@outtheresomewhere Thank you sir, you’re one of the youtubers who give more information about the r nine t haha.
Just ordered the fully adjustable, so much difference from the stock and riding with it is super comfortable and fun on the twisties!
I wanted simplicity so went for a Nitron basic shock.
Nitron's a top notch shock👍 Enjoy 😀
where to get these suspension components in EU ?

I hope that info helps you and enjoy your R9T 👊✊👍
I own a 2017 pure Low. Do you know what size to get? Thanks
Hey @Cafe Racer California ,you just need to provide your local suspension supplier with your "riding weight" and the model year of your R9T👍
А я на штатном :)
EUR 849, go for ohlins, dude.
