Tmax seat strut spring kit at TBSS

Post by SkuTorr »

My seat struts that I replaced two years ago started to die AGAIN, so I went to TBSS to get their upgraded struts...and found THIS:

I ordered it, got it in a week for a total of $36. The install took all of 15 minutes! here is my post about it:

I can actually drape my jacket over the opened seat and it stays up now! Amazing product with sublime machining...

Good spot! The struts on my mk3 had failed when I bought it, but I managed to find some aftermarket ones via easyparts.nl which were around £20 a pair (or something) compared to £40 each from Yamaha.

Perfect timing Skutorr, my Mk3 struts are also barely capable of keeping my seat open, it always needs a helping hand to open when unlocked.

Looks like it is time to spend on the scoot again !

Mine arrived yesterday.

I just installed them and they are fantastic. Seat stays up by it's little self now. Great.

Just received our sets for our Tmax fleet. Just realised that I could have got away with buying only 2 sets - one spring is ample to hold the seat up.
