FAQs

Is this shock compatible with my 2020 Honda CB 500 FA ABS?

Yes, this model (MZ456-310TRL-72-85) is fully compatible with all Honda CB 500 FA ABS models from 2019 to 2024.

What tools do I need for adjustment?

You will need the C-spanner or ring adjustment tools typically supplied with the shock for the preload collars.

Can I install this myself?

If you have experience working on motorcycle suspension and the correct tools to support the frame, it is manageable, but professional installation is recommended for safety.

How much can I adjust the ride height?

The unit allows for up to 5mm of length adjustment to modify the motorcycle's geometry.

Does the shock come pre-set for my weight?

YSS shocks are typically shipped with a standard factory setting. You should perform a 'sag' adjustment based on your specific body weight upon installation.

Troubleshooting

Bike feels too harsh over bumps

Decrease the spring preload or adjust the rebound damping towards the 'soft' setting.

Suspension feels like it is wallowing in corners

Increase the rebound damping to control the shock extension speed more effectively.

Bottoming out under load

Increase the spring preload to support the additional weight of the passenger or cargo.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improved handling and stability over the stock shock
  • Comprehensive adjustability including length and rebound
  • Durable gas/emulsion structure prevents damping fade
  • Allows for tailored setup based on rider weight and load

Cons

  • Requires proper setup to realize performance gains
  • May require specialized tools for spring preload adjustment
  • Not a 'plug and play' experience for those unfamiliar with suspension tuning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This shock absorber is specifically designed for the Honda CB 500 FA ABS (2019-2024). During installation, ensure the bike is properly supported on a paddock stand or central lift so the swingarm is unloaded. When adjusting the spring preload, use the provided ring tools to ensure the collar is locked securely after adjustment. Clean the shock shaft periodically with a lint-free cloth to remove road grime, which protects the internal seals from premature wear. Avoid using high-pressure water sprayers directly on the shaft seals, as this can force debris into the unit.
