FLYPIG Rear Shock Absorber Heavy Duty Aluminum

Description

Product Overview

The FLYPIG rear shock absorber is engineered specifically for the Yamaha PW50, covering model years from 1989 through 2012 with the exception of 1998 and 2007. Constructed from a high‑grade aluminum alloy combined with stainless steel and chrome finishes, the unit balances lightweight characteristics with exceptional corrosion resistance. At 230 mm extended length, the shock provides a longer travel range, enhancing rear wheel compliance over bumps and uneven surfaces. The top link hole measures 12 mm, while the bottom link includes dual diameters of 8.5 mm and 7 mm, allowing flexible mounting options for a variety of rear swingarm configurations. Weighing just 2.2 lb and packaged in a compact 9.25 × 3.07 × 1.42 in box, it is easy to handle during installation. The OEM part number aligns with Yamaha specifications, ensuring a direct replacement that maintains factory‑approved geometry and performance standards.

Usage

Designed for both casual riders and competitive enthusiasts, this rear shock absorber excels in everyday commuting, off‑road trail riding, and track day scenarios. Its heavy‑duty construction absorbs shocks from potholes, gravel, and jumps, delivering a smoother ride that reduces rider fatigue on longer journeys. The universal fit design means it can also be adapted to other small‑displacement motorcycles with similar swingarm dimensions, making it a versatile addition to a rider’s parts inventory. Before purchase, verify the swingarm hole sizes and ensure compatibility with your specific PW50 model year to guarantee a seamless fit.
