🏍️ GENUINE KYB BLACK REAR SHOCKS FOR YAMAHA XMAX 300 (350MM) K-ELITE JAPANESE TECHNOLOGY
Hello there! Piloting a powerful, large-displacement Sport Scooter like the Yamaha Xmax 300, you certainly demand the most stable and plush long-distance touring experiences. However, after a period of operation, the stock rear suspension easily reveals its flaws: the stock shocks respond slowly, causing a bouncy floating sensation and highly dangerous rear-end wobbling every time you accelerate rapidly or corner aggressively at high speeds.
Deeply understanding this operational dilemma, Monkey89 proudly introduces the perfect undercarriage upgrade solution: Genuine Japanese KYB K-Elite Black Rear Shocks (350mm) for Yamaha Xmax 300 — a masterpiece belonging to the high-performance 2W Performance segment that maintains the scooter's tall, stock stance while delivering absolute rock-solid stability on every road.

⚙️ DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
🚀 REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE OF THE K-ELITE BLACK
-
⚖️ Smart Rebound Damping Control System (16 Clicks): This is the core upgrade that elevates the K-Elite series far beyond the standard K-Alpha line. The mechanical Rebound dial at the bottom of the shock precisely controls the extension speed of the piston rod (rebound stroke) after compression. When you operate this large Maxi-Scooter at high speeds or on long tours, this feature ensures the rear wheel firmly grips the road, completely neutralizing bouncy floating sensations and extinguishing dangerous swingarm and rear-end wobble when cornering.
-
🔧 Thread Spring Preload Customization: The smart threaded collar allows you to easily increase or decrease the initial spring compression to suit the exact actual total payload. Whether you're gently cruising solo or heavily loaded with a passenger and heavy luggage for a long tour, KYB's premium steel alloy spring will fully absorb impact forces from potholes, completely extinguishing annoying clunks and preventing bottoming out.
-
📐 Optimized OEM 350mm Stroke (Length Adjuster): The 350mm dimension preserves the original ground clearance and commanding riding posture of the Yamaha Xmax 300. This is extremely important for riders who prefer a tall stance, allowing the scooter to achieve maximum suspension travel when crossing bad roads or deep potholes without fear of scraping the undercarriage. The threaded bottom mount still allows you to fine-tune an increase of up to +10mm (Monkey89 recommends a safe range of +5mm to +8mm).
-
💨 Mono Tube Structure & Free-Piston System: The free-piston completely isolates the Japanese hydraulic oil from the compressed nitrogen gas in the piggyback reservoir. When the pair of shocks must bounce continuously at high frequencies on long journeys, the hydraulic oil does not aerate (preventing cavitation/foaming). Thanks to this, the damping system always maintains smooth stability, ultra-fast feedback, and avoids shock fade under hot weather conditions.
🛠️ COMPATIBILITY & REAL-WORLD INSTALLATION
-
✅ 100% Plug and Play Fitment: The pair of shocks possesses the standard 350mm height parameters along with a bottom Clevis (U-mount) and top Round Eyelet structure that perfectly matches the suspension system of the Yamaha Xmax 300 (all generations). You can confidently order and self-install them millimeter-perfect using the stock bolts, without needing to fabricate custom CNC brackets.
-
✂️ Absolutely No Fairing Modifications Required: Because the rear undercarriage space and tail structure of the original Yamaha Xmax 300 are inherently very spacious and already optimized for high-performance piggyback shock systems, when you install the 350mm KYB K-Elite Black shocks, the vertically oriented piggyback reservoir will fit flawlessly. There is ABSOLUTELY NO need to cut or trim the plastic fairings or worry about interference with any of the scooter's components, fully preserving its original premium aesthetic value.
-
📍 Installation Position: Installed symmetrically on both sides directly at the motorcycle's rear suspension system. Products at Monkey89 are guaranteed to be 100% brand new, officially imported from Japan in full boxes, providing reliable companionship and absolute peace of mind for you on every road.
