I used your method of installing it really works. The best thing I don't have to remove the fairings. The hard part is sneaking your fingers to the top bolt which is doable using two hands in removing the top bolt.
Do the new shocks make it more comfortable ? Is the rear suspension system still not soft enough after the new shocks? I want to have soft and comfy rear shocks with my nmax. What should I do ?
These shocks are more comfy than standard, but there are much softer shock on the market, I remember seeing a video on some red shock breakers for the Nmax and the video shows extremely soft and comfy ride... can't find the video now though. The good news is 2020 saw many new shocks released for the Nmax, some of them will be very very soft no doubt.
Hi How do you get on with the 150 wider rear tyre? I am going to fit michelin city grip2 but saw you fitted a wider rear. There are mixed reviews on fitting wider tyres on the web. Good video here thanks
Hi there! I can only give my personal opinion on how the scooter handled, on the original tyre it felt quick to turn and very nimble which was nice, the wider tyre felt slower to flick around but I made the scooter go very very low on some turns on the fatter tyre which was really fun! Also, the 150 rear looked awesome for a scooter!
Official Ismael We left the clutch standard and didn’t change the injectors, the bike would have run much better if we installed bigger injectors and also installed a programmable ECU. We did change the rollers to Lighter ones though.
Hey what model does those shocks fit i have a 2017 yamaha nmax 125cc. What's your opinion on upgrading the clutch on a stock engine with lighter rollers. I know rollers will give you better acceleration but will an upgraded clutch improve any speed at all?? And What's the benefits of better clutch?? Thank you!
nikanim To us, the YSS shocks feel like they have a softer or smoother compressing spring, meaning bumps feel less agressive, as the preload is adjustable they can be set to correctly perform for the rider's weight. In our opinion, they feel much better when riding in bumpy roads, the material also seems superior when compared to the standard shocks. Thanks for watching!
I am a new user of nmax. I just wonder, how do you remove its rear tire? I mean what are the parts that needed to be removed in order to get the rear tire removed. And also as i can see, you are using an aftermarket exhaust system. What type, brand of exhaust is that. How much does it cost? Where did you buy it? Hows the sound? Isn’t it too loud! Thanks.
Hi, the exhaust is a Scorpion 🦂 exhaust, it’s too expensive and we do not recommend it because the screws rust and the sound is so so, the Misano R9 exhaust is good if you get the baffle/DB killer too, here is the link to our video of the exhausts ruclips.net/video/I75Y4y4WD6E/видео.html We changed the rear tire ourselves but we SINCERELY recommend you just take it to a shop and pay just a little money to get them to do it. It needs just a few tools 🛠 like a socket set, spanner 🔧 and some extra large socket sizes, with an extended breaker bar, and some tire/tyre bead breakers. BUT the force needed to remove the tire by hand is insane, it took us hours. But we did it because we had the tools, we will go to get it done by a mechanic/ garage from now on.
If you mean the small cover that goes on top of the led unit, I think it was from either a shop in Indonesia or Thailand, just a small fibreglass piece. I added a high power third LED break light to the top of it... can't remember which video I showed it in though.
great video, i my self own an nmax and the sunspension is extremley stiff. do you think i can simply just remove one of shocks and it will make it better? i mean riding with one shock
daniel fallon Hey buddy! Do not, repeat do not ride with one shock only, it’ll be very very dangerous since the frame is designed to be balanced on its stress joints. If you’re lookin for a soft ride, there’s a company that makes some very soft suspension for the Nmax, they call them Shockbreakers. I can’t remember but the company was in Asia, either Thailand or a neighboring country, they are super soft, there’s a video on RUclips about them, check it out as they really soften the ride. The standard Nmax springs felt like a horse and cart lol. Good luck and stay safe! ^^
Mate where did you get the black back light from I've been on the hunt for AGESS! but couldnt find one at all ive got the 180cc kit with the scorpion exhaust after the Corona virus bikes being Sprayed personalised colours just wanted to know where you got your lenses and if there's anywhere you know I could get tinted indicator lenses
kai lun Hi! We tried moving the reservoir into different orientations, but it always hits something on heavy load, it would get too close to either the airbox, exhaust or tire. We can't remember exactly, but we're not sure if the reservoir can he mounted facing the front, it may foul the under tray. Thanks for checking out the channel! 👍🏻
Astrobleme thx for replying, erm actually is not the reservoir that wrong facing, is the reservoir still facing the back, but the left and right absorber is opposite way, that make the yss wording facing to the tyre.
kai lun Ah I see! Yes that should be fine! There is a little silver warning sticker on the inside which will be slightly visible, but not a problem. We were also thinking of hiding the sticker on the reseevoir, one idea we had was to remove the sticker and replace it with a Red Bull sticker to make the little reservoir look like a Red Bull can which is fun! Have fun modifying your Nmax! 😊
Astrobleme thx bro you been a huge help. relief to hear that lol. cause i not the 1 who install it, it was late when the technician install for me so i didn't really check when it was done.
kai lun No worries buddy! I totally understand, some mechanics just don't take enough care sometimes which makes us worry, yours should be good to go 👍🏻
We usually get parts from either nolimitz-maticshop.com/en/ or bikerzbits.com/ . everything can usually be found on Aliexpress but right now we can't seem to find the clear covers in stock anywhere. they sometimes pop up on eBay so if a new batch isn't made soon you may have to look over there. Sorry we couldn't be anymore help, thanks for viewing! ^^
been planning to replace the shocks of my nmax for a long time the stock shocks are horrible its giving me unbearable back pain during long rides i have to rest every 80-100km.
just bought the yss g-series as there is no shock brakers in the philippines. what setting do you recommend? im eyeing to making the spring tension all the way to soft does it make the ride better?
david onez Setting the spring to maximum softness will help with comfort, make sure your body weight doesn’t bottom out (max out) the travel when riding. Stiffer springs will increase cornering capability on higher end bikes, it won’t make much of a difference on an Nmax unless you are riding a track day or racing to the max. I like to have it soft too for more comfort.
Rear suspension in this scooter is stiff like hardtail, when I ride off curb, or in some hole in road it hits so hard that I'm affraid that some part will break (or my spine if I forgot to lift my ass). What a moron designed such suspension :/
Tell me about it, I went over a cobbled road here in England and the bumps were making my phone mount shake so bag I nearly lost my phone. It felt like I rode into a riot and everyone was taking turns kicking me! There’s a shock called shock breaker iirc and they made the ride soft it was like a dirt bike. 👍🏻
Not really, it's usually done to match the weight of the rider so the suspension can do a better job. Such as if the rider is very heavy (I weigh 200lbs) so the original suspension was having a hard time. It also is a bit more cosmetically appealing
@@chesster423 I have some very bad news my friend, we have sold the Nmax and have moved away (we lost our job and our house a few months back, long story). we're currently rebuilding our lives after a monumental life changing loss. Thanks for the support! really appreciate it!

Very informative video 💯. Highly recommended for nmax owners who prefer DIY than going paying for labor. I salute to the Maker of this video! 💯👏
I used your method of installing it really works. The best thing I don't have to remove the fairings. The hard part is sneaking your fingers to the top bolt which is doable using two hands in removing the top bolt.
Thank you for video! Yesterday install new rear shocks using your instructions.

Good job buddy! 👍🏻
thank you good sir for a very good information, very helpful
Thanks a lot mate . proper tutorial !
No worries buddy 👍🏻
Nada mas con la llave quitaste los amortiguadores? O utilizaste otra herramienta?
All tools shown in the video were the ones used, spanner, screwdriver ^^
Too dark, but downloaded the video and adjusted the lighting. Will follow you're video when my new shocks turn up.
Sorry buddy, tried my best. No dedicated lighting at the time.

Nice vid, hope you got a new house now. Did you trim any plastic to fit the canisters?
Thanks 🙏
No need to trim or modify any parts, the shocks go straight on, thanks for the kind words.
Will I be able to take highway speed turns faster if I upgrade to this. Is it better to get michellin tires or buy shocks for better ride
excellent
How much better the shocks are than the originals?

Do the replacement shocks give an overall lower seat height ?
Nope, same height as originals, just slightly more control.
Thanks for your reply and for providing the link.

What tire u using bro?
The rear is a Bridgestone Battleaxe 150 wide, not a bad tyre!

We can’t remember, we really should have measured them when we have the Nmax.
where did you get that smoked type airfilter cover?...

Astrobleme TNX bro...
are you upgrading/change the stock ECU?
what size tyres have you got your the nmax
Stuart Woolley
The rear is 150/70/13, the front is original size as I wont have time to install the larger size now that I'm selling the scooter.
Nice shortcut way
been planning to replace the shocks of my nmax for a long time the stock shocks are horrible its giving me unbearable back pain during long rides i have to rest every 80-100km.
david onez
For more comfort we suggest going for some shock called “shock breakers”. They are a brand also from Asia but make the ride much softer.
@@astroblemeRC thank you sir
just bought the yss g-series as there is no shock brakers in the philippines. what setting do you recommend? im eyeing to making the spring tension all the way to soft does it make the ride better?
or does softer spring tension compromising the cornering stability of the nmax.
david onez
Setting the spring to maximum softness will help with comfort, make sure your body weight doesn’t bottom out (max out) the travel when riding.
Stiffer springs will increase cornering capability on higher end bikes, it won’t make much of a difference on an Nmax unless you are riding a track day or racing to the max.
I like to have it soft too for more comfort.
i might need to upgrade as well. My shocks are so small.
Ramen On Wheels
You won't regret it if you do! The ride on my scooter is so smooth and comfortable now! 👍🏻
Whats the brand and sizes of your tire?
150/70 13 it may have been battle axe SC’s, sorry can’t remember. Thanks for watching!
Que marca es tu llanta trasera.?
Bridgestone Battlax
Bro what is the mm ?
What is the size of your shocks?
Renz Bunagan
Sorry for late reply, we cannot remember as it was a while ago that we sold this scooter.
Does this work for an xmax 250
I believe the install will be slightly different on the Xmax, every bike has their own challenges lol

is this really important?
Not really, it's usually done to match the weight of the rider so the suspension can do a better job. Such as if the rider is very heavy (I weigh 200lbs) so the original suspension was having a hard time. It also is a bit more cosmetically appealing
