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 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.

Thanks SkuTorr, I've just ordered some as my struts are getting lazy on my mk4

I was nearly going to order some replacement struts till I saw your posting

Glad I could help!

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 !

Looks good looked at the web page but nothing for the Silverwing sadly

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.
