EMC Shocks for Gen 2

[VMAX_Ghost_Rider]

My original rear shock was done and I found EMC from my mechanic. They build rear shocks and front forks for the Gen 2. I just got installed the rear one (Shock 2) and I am impressed with the performance. Transaction was smooth and they arrived from France in less than a week already configured based on my weight and riding style.

Thank you for posting. I'm looking at upgrading the suspension for the gen 2. What are you running in the front? I'm SERIOUSLY thinking cartridges.

Interesting, I was looking for front suspension upgrade options; this is what I got from EMC last week about their fork cartridge for the Gen 2: "The cartridge is an assembly (hydraulic and spring) that replaces the Yamaha factory system, it slips inside the original fork tubes, it will give you the same improvement on your fork bringing your bike to a perfect balance. You will be able to adjust it like the rear shock." They will have stock before end of the year at $690.

Gen 2 already has cartridge valves...although they don't appear to be rebuildable.
