YSS Shock Absorbers for Vintage Vespas

Vespa riders love those iconic looks and the feel-good riding experience. But as time goes on, the fun can disappear when suspension wears, damping fades, the shocks leak or the springs become weak.

Fortunately, YSS produce a comprehensive range of front & rear shocks for Vespa’s of all ages. The wide choice means customers can choose from low cost, classic looks, or high performance:

  • smooth-acting, durable ‘double tube’ oil shocks for budget conscious commuters
  • emulsion gas ‘double tube’ shocks for improved response but retaining the classic looks
  • external reservoir gas shocks for reduced heat build-up and better fade resistance
  • Top-Line external reservoir shocks with compression and rebound damping adjustment for the ultimate performance

All YSS Vespa shocks are preload adjustable, meaning they can be adapted to load and rider preference. A simple stepped adjuster is provided on entry-level shocks but a continuous threaded adjuster is featured on more performance orientated dampers.

YSS have been manufacturing suspension for 2-wheelers for over 35 years. With ultra-modern production plants in Thailand and state-of-the-art equipment for machining, spring production and testing, YSS are a true World Class manufacturer. They benefit from decades of racing experience and a hugely experienced staff at their European R&D Centre, which directly influences products for scooter, road, off-road & racing.

At Cornish Scoots we have access to the largest stocks of YSS products in Europe and offer industry leading next-day delivery. Contact us with details of your Vespa and we will come back to you with a part and price specific to your scooter.

Put the fun back into riding your Vespa with our great range of YSS shocks!

Scooter Carbs

Cornish Scoots can supply a range of complete carburettors for mopeds and scooters. Labour time spent repairing carburettors for these small engines is often not cost-effective when compared to the cost of our brand new carburettors.

Although not listed on our website, we have access to over 40 carburettors for 2 and 4 stroke engines up to 200cc from Dellorto, Naraku and JMP. These cover a wide range of small machines including many Vespa models, generic Chinese GY6 scooters plus carbs for Aprilia, Derbi, Gileria, Piaggio, Honda, Kymco, Peugeot, Sym and other brands.

If you are in need of a replacement carburettor for your bike, just get in touch and tell us what bike it is and we will come back to you with a product and price.
