Long Shock Spring Technical Notes

The Yokomo YS-1480 HSS Long Shock Spring serves as a replacement spring for standard shock cartridges, giving tuners a simple way to alter spring rate and feel. Its orange coating highlights the HSS family styling and is aimed at hobbyists rather than service-level replacement.

Functionally the spring fits over the shock shaft inside the body to change how the assembly compresses and rebounds, providing a mechanical change to suspension behavior. It is useful when you prefer to adjust spring characteristics without immediately swapping pistons or oils.

Fitting is routine for those used to threaded shock assemblies: open the shock, remove the old spring, slide in the YS-1480 and reassemble. After installation, confirm preload and ride height, then conduct a brief test run to validate handling before longer sessions.

Tuning advice: small incremental swaps will influence corner entry and mid-stroke support. Combine spring choice with different oils, progressive springs, or collar adjustments to achieve the desired balance.

Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Is the orange HSS finish robust for frequent running?

The finish is applied for hobby-grade use and will handle normal running conditions, but regular inspection after abrasive or wet conditions is advised to prevent premature wear.

Can I use different pistons or oils with this spring?

Yes, pairing the YS-1480 with alternative pistons or viscosities is a common tuning approach. Match piston and oil choices to the spring to achieve the balance you want.

Any special storage or cleaning tips?

Wipe springs clean after wet or muddy runs and store them dry. Periodic checks for seating and surface condition will extend service life.
