Replacement read shocks for Wave 125

[BaldPlumber]

Hi All

I had some really good advice about rim/tyre and shocks upgrades on a stock 125i Wave a few weeks ago.

I'm trying to find out where to go to get the upgrades done when I return to Pattaya in a few months. I've had some really good leads from a board member about the rims and tyres and I just have a few queries about the shocks.

I've been told that YSS RE302-330T-19 are recommended for this bike. When I do a google search for the shocks the only pricing info I come up with is a European site that sells them for 301 euros! (link). That's almost half of what I paid for the bike.

Does anyone know where the Pattaya stockists of this or an equivalent shock are located and approximate pricing info?

Cheers

Mike

Sorry, can't answer your question directly, but when you get to Patts, eyeball the motocy taxi guys.

Most use the 125 Wave and many run YSS Struts.

For a few baht they will lead you to the shop where they bought, methinks.

Sometimes a computer search over-complifies rather than simplicates.

Thanks. And thanks for all of the other useful information :-)

Take a ride along Pattaya Tai in the area opposite Friendship supermarket up towards Sukhumvit, there's quite a few motorcycle accessory shops along there, friend of mine bought a pair of YSS shocks from 1 of them.

Any idea what he paid? Thanks

Mike,

Here is a link to the YSS company in Bangkok. It is where I got mine for my Wave 125i. Sorry, I don't remember the price but it wasn't too bad and I love the ride. They are not great with email so a call is your best bet.

Just a quick update. Put my wave into my local bike shop for new wide rims, tyres, spokes, tubes and shocks.

Price was 5K baht per wheel and 3,700 for the shocks.

Will post the photos when it's done if anyone is interested.

Good luck with yours. Be aware that the seat height is raised a bit. Also, do your due diligence - I didn't and the shop had mine in for an unbelievable 12 days. They first rendered the bike unusable and then they just waited, waited and then waited some more for the parts. Luckily, I borrowed a scooter from a friend but 12 days? good grief! [emoji15]

I hear that changing the oil in the Wave every few thousand k is a popular 'mod' too.
