Love the JBI perch. Running KYB fork on my Beta 390 race edition with my own valving. JBI perch allows me to run softer valving and have good bottoming resistance

Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear its working well.

Great comparison video. Is it possible to make new bottoming cones or cylinder as you call them for the KYB to mimic those on the WP so the bottoming resistance started earlier? Thanks

Thank you. It is possible to make taller bottoming cones. I could see slightly taller being beneficial but nothing too crazy.

How did you manage to acquire the SSS damping systems as a kit since this is almost proprietary to Yamaha? Just asking because the original KYB for WP is essentially an AOS. Would that then mean that simply changing a part (or two) within the cartridge system can then convert a standard AOS to SSS?

Great video, I run the ohlins setup have buddy's that run those all seem great. Cool to see the differences

Ohlins makes some great suspension.

Those mods make a lot of sense. I’d love to hear some feedback from test riders doing a before and after test with these mods. Any chance you could do a video sometime with some well known test riders (like maybe Keefer, Pat Foster, Ping, etc. or people like that) trying this stuff out and giving some feedback??? If so that’d be awesome and probably help sell a lot of suspension work. 👍 P.S. Love your videos and your explanations on how things work.

Thank you! Working on increasing the sample size of test riders and feedback. And surely working on trying to get with the more well known ones. The main focus though is sample size. The feedback of a large group is often more valuable then the feedback of an individual.

Love all the info. Got the kyb on my 150 sx. Now I’m looking into getting my Fc450 done. Haven’t been able to decide yet. Total price may be the only decision. Do you have price comparisons on both with and without upgrades?

Hey JB I was wondering if the kyb fork cap (the blue one) would fit a Showa fork on a 2022 crf250r. I know showa and kyb are very similar and I really don't like the raised style of the showa and would like to have a cap like the blue one.

Hello and thanks for the comment. The KYB fork cap would not fit or replace the Showa fork cap. The design is different.

Do you have a video explaining difference between AOS and SSS? And how does that differ from the KYBs that come on Beta and Sherco?

Hello. Yamaha marketed the term "Speed Sensitive Suspension" and used "SSS" as shorthand. The manufacturer of the forks KYB refers to the forks as AOS (air oil separate suspension / system) which is a good way to describe the type of fork it is. AOS is also interchangeable with the terms "closed cartridge" and "twin chamber" because that is the same style / type of fork. SSS does not describe the type of fork accurately because all suspension is speed sensitive (to a reasonable extent) regardless of design / type. The KYB AOS fork is what Yamaha calls KYB SSS.

@@RideJBI Ok cool. Thanks for clearing that up man. 🇺🇸 👍 Those manufacturer marketing guys go all out. 😂
