🏍️ GENUINE KYB RED REAR SHOCKS FOR YAMAHA XMAX 300 (350MM) K-ELITE JAPANESE TECHNOLOGY
Hello there! When you are piloting the muscular, large-displacement Yamaha Xmax 300 Maxi-Scooter on endless touring roads, the stock rear undercarriage easily reveals its bouncy weaknesses and slow response over obstacles. The feeling of the rear end wobbling and floating slightly every time you snap the throttle or corner aggressively at high speeds not only ruins your inherent smoothness but also poses significant risks.
Deeply understanding this operational dilemma, Monkey89 proudly brings a comprehensive upgrade solution for both damping performance and personalized style: Genuine Japanese KYB K-Elite Red Rear Shocks (350mm) for Yamaha Xmax 300. Possessing the commanding red hue of the 2W Performance segment, this twin shock kit will re-establish rock-solid stability, delivering maximum confidence on every journey.

⚙️ DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
🚀 REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE OF THE K-ELITE RED
-
⚖️ Smart Rebound Damping Control System (16 Clicks): This is the premium equipment that creates the superior difference of the K-Elite series over the standard K-Alpha line. The Rebound adjustment feature allows you to control the upward extension speed of the piston rod (rebound stroke) after compression. When you travel at high speeds on straightaways or lean into sharp corners, this feature ensures the rear wheel grips the road continuously, completely neutralizing bouncy floating sensations and eliminating dangerous rear-end wobble.
-
🔧 Thread Spring Preload Customization: The smart threaded collar allows you to easily increase or decrease the initial spring compression to suit the exact actual payload. Whether you're gently cruising solo or heavily loaded with a passenger and heavy luggage on a long tour, KYB's premium steel alloy spring will fully absorb impact forces, completely extinguishing annoying clunks and bottoming out.
-
📐 Maintaining the OEM Standard 350mm Stroke: Unlike lowering solutions, the 350mm height preserves the original tall, commanding riding posture of the Xmax 300. This ensures the scooter achieves its maximum suspension travel, operating incredibly smoothly over bad roads and 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 OEM 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 rear 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 Red shocks, the vibrant vertically oriented red 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 pristine original beauty.
-
📍 Installation Position: Installed symmetrically on both sides directly at the motorcycle's rear suspension system.
