Suspension and brakes

Suspension and brakes are the most critical motorcycle spare parts for safety and handling. The choice always starts with compatibility with make, model, and year: YSS shock absorbers, NG brake discs, and SBS or CL Brakes brake pads cover the vast majority of applications. Filter by product type and motorcycle to quickly find the correct part number. Leggi la guida

How to choose replacement parts for motorcycle suspension and brakes

Shock absorbers: mono, pair or fork

The first parameter is the mounting type: mono shock for motorcycles with a single-sided swingarm or linkage, pair of rear shock absorbers for scooters and motorcycles with a twin-shock setup, fork kit for the front end. YSS offers ranges with different technologies — Ecoline, Hydraulic, Topline, Topgas — with varying adjustability: for road use on scooters, the base range is often sufficient, while for sportbikes or variable loads, a version with adjustable preload is recommended. Always check the center-to-center distance (the measurement between the centers of the mounting points) and the specific reference for your model.

Brake discs: material, profile and application

NG discs cover a wide range of road bikes, enduro bikes and scooters. The choice between a fixed disc and a floating disc depends on the original system and usage: the floating disc dissipates heat better during intense braking. Check the diameter, number of holes and direction of rotation before ordering; NG catalogs its discs with a numerical code that corresponds to the specific application.

Brake pads: compound based on usage

SBS, CL Brakes and Vesrah offer multiple compounds for the same system. The most common abbreviations indicate the type: HS (High Sintered) for heavy or sporty use, RST (Racing Sintered) for high performance, HF (Half-metallic / organic) for normal road use with less aggressiveness on the disc. Choose the compound based on your riding style and the operating temperature of your braking system.

Overhaul components: bearings, steering kits and seals

All Balls and SGR provide wheel bearing kits, fork overhaul kits and steering components. When replacing a shock absorber or overhauling a fork, it is good practice to also check the condition of the silent blocks, gaiters and self-locking nuts. Circuit Equipment covers protective accessories such as fork gaiters.

Security and integrated anti-theft

Kryptonite offers disc locks with reminder cables, useful for those who park their motorcycle in public spaces. The choice of lock depends on the disc diameter and the required level of security; the Evolution and New York models are among the most sought after for resistance to physical attacks.

Domande frequenti

Come trovo l'ammortizzatore YSS giusto per il mio scooter o moto?

Devi conoscere marca, modello, cilindrata e anno di immatricolazione del veicolo. Con questi dati puoi filtrare il catalogo YSS per applicazione e trovare il codice corretto. Controlla anche che l'interasse dichiarato corrisponda a quello del tuo originale prima di procedere.

Qual è la differenza tra pastiglie HS, RST e HF di SBS?

Le mescole HS e RST sono sinterizzate ad alta resistenza termica, adatte a un uso sportivo o a frenate frequenti e intense. Le HF sono a base organica o semi-metallica, più silenziose e meno aggressive sul disco, indicate per uso stradale normale a bassa sollecitazione.

I dischi NG sono compatibili anche con moto enduro e off-road?

Sì, NG produce dischi per moto stradali, scooter, enduro e motocross. Il catalogo è organizzato per applicazione specifica, quindi è sufficiente cercare per marca e modello per verificare se esiste un riferimento dedicato al proprio veicolo.

Come si misura l'interasse di un ammortizzatore posteriore per la sostituzione?

L'interasse si misura da centro a centro dei due occhielli di fissaggio con l'ammortizzatore in posizione di riposo (lunghezza a molla scarica). Questa misura, insieme al diametro degli occhielli e all'eventuale corsa, è il dato principale da confrontare con le specifiche del ricambio.
