replacement springs for DT360A (Thermal Phase)

Thanks for the update Gerry

Can you post the specific part number for these springs ... for our future reference?

Also, be sure and let us know how they feel and work after you've had a chance to try them out. 😀

There is no specific part no. You have to choose chrome sprIngs in length 220 mm and ID 46 mm. In comments you should write „Springs for Yamaha DT 360“. YSS-Support will choose the right strengths for the DT. That worked well for me.

I heard back from YSS suspension.

Sorry, it doesn't sound like they're interested in selling just the springs, but he did make a few suggestions on complete shock sets that may work on our DT360's.

and . . . I still have not looked for my nice used set of springs . . . but I will.

Hi Dave, After 50 years it's not the springs that are the main problem, it's the damping of the shocks. We recommend to replace the shocks by a set of bespoke YSS shocks: https://www.suspension-store.com/YSS_custom_Yamaha_Twinshocks

We think of a set of RD222 shocks or for a much more modern damping system the RE302 shocks. We can fit them with chrome springs.Prices in the webshop include 21% Dutch vat. This will be changed to the percentage of your country (within EU) or removed all together (delivery outside EU).What country are you from?

Kind Regards,

Thanks for your work Dave. New shocks will not help because I want to keep the original thermal phase shocks. I´m sure they will do their work for some short runs and exhibitions ;)

Dave: I have been in contact with Arnold (or one of his colleagues) and they found chrome springs in the length of 220 mm with ID 46 mm. I have ordered a pair of springs and will make a 5 mm disc on my lathe for the bottom of the spring and will make new plastic discs for the top. That seems to be a very good solution for 128 $! They can choose the hardness for the DT 360 >> perfect!
