Yearben has been making shock in Chine.6 years of making shocks. What is in the picture is the Yearben shocks. I can only sell in sets of 4 pieces.

I am sorry but this is the only way I can buy them for awhile.1,000 set of four 1 year warrant on them kits to rebuild them are aveable to rebuild them.Kinarfi  said he had a small leak after 2 years. Kit are aveable to reseal them. They have made changes in the two years to improve them.

 

Sorry Rick

 

Kinarfi here, I have removed the yearben shocks!! The ones I have are NOT revalvable, the nut is welded on, there was oil in the reservoir pressure chamber and gas (air or Nitrogen) in the shock body, and no shock action, just springs at ~4000 miles, I haven't been able to get a rebuild kit, and you better figure on having to replace the shock eyes too, That's my experience, my thoughts are that they are what you pay for, CHEAP throw aways and no better the the stock shock

I have to call "bull shit" on this statement!  if air is used in shocks, even if it's 'wet', it is in the reservoir pressure tank, not in the oil, not mixed with the oil and does not contact the valving washers!  Maybe it does in Yearbens, don't know, but there was a lot of oil in the pressure part of the reservoir, and there seemed to be air/or nitrogen in the oil when I drained them, but it's my understanding oil and air/nitrogen shouldn't mix in any shock. 

The purpose of pressure on one side of the floating piston is to assist the oil in returning to the shock body as the shaft leaves the shock body during rebound, it keeps the oil from cavitating and adds nothing directly to the suspension and definitely doesn't damage valving washers. Not in anything I've seen.

oh yes, F-O-A Shocks are sold out of Las Vegas

Jeff Just call any shock company and ask what they recommend for any gas shocks.New FOA coilover inspection, problem, nitrogen charging You Tube.This is  good place to see the correct way to charging your shocks and see jeff is incorrect. 

Thank You

Granted, they recommend nitrogen, what you said is air damages valve springs, that's bullshit!!!  I used to run air over oil in motorcycle forks with no damage and in the shocks that have reservoirs, the gas (air or nitrogen) doesn't even touch the oil (except for my failed Yearbens) so how can it damage valve springs?????    Bull Shit!!!!!

Did you get my pm telling you not to say I'm using Yearbens on my Trooper?? I'm NOT!!!

i guess you can see for your self what Jeff said how the shocks work when he bought it..Jeff your cursing at me was not called for.And your answer was totally wrong on the gas for shocks.I don't know what's wrong with you but  you are hurting the young new members who look to the utv board for concise answering of new question and answers to help them.This Cursing and Flag story is out of control and knocking on any member is just wrong.I bet Lenny is shocked at what is happening on this site.JMHO as some one said on the UTV board.

I would like if you don't use profanity at me i never cursed at you.I think you should realize people respect your answers  i have ask for you help once or twice in the past.So lets get the UTV board back to helping new comers who need all of you with knowledge to lend a hand to them.I will help with any questions you guys have I am the oldest Joyner Dealer in the World.But even i have scratched me head many times.We are the only dealer in the USA with a large inventory of Performance Parts for Joyners.Renli,Sand Reeper,And any Chery Based Buggy.Call 928 246 6819

I sorry if YOU think "Bull Shit" is profanity and or cursing you, but sometime I just think you're full of it and get tired of reading it, This was a Joyner Trooper and other Joyners forum at one time and not a Silverbullet sales and advertisement forum, not my forum, so I can't stop you.

SO, Say what you will, I'm DONE with you!  NO replies, NO answers, but I would prefer you not make sale pitches in reply to my posts.

      I need a pair of front shocks for a Landpride Treker 4200NT, from 2005?  Does anyone know of a good salvage yard - or another source?
      The old shocks have "SEBAC 11685 12 3" stamped on them (or something very close - it's hard to read). I think SEBAC are (were?) an Italian company.
      Is there a compatible shock I can use? I don't have easy access to a scrap yard where I can compare shocks etc.
      Thanks,
      -Kim

      in desperate need of a rear differential for my 2014 wildcat 1000. It has blown up right in the midst of the hurricane that struck us here in N/W N.C. I could really use this machine right now. No luck finding this from Artic Cat or the many numerous online vendors. Any info or resources wil be greatly appreciated !

      We recently purchased the Axis x550. Fueled it with 93 fuel and drove one time around the farm and the 02 fault error appeared. Any ideas?

      Recently I had an overheating issue on my 2022 Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun UT550) and to check to make sure it was fixed I took it out for a ride around the block. After a couple cycles on the LED coolant meter, I took it for a couple mile ride and on my way back I heard a loud metallic snap then a grinding noise. It was still able to move under its own power but very slowly. I was about 2 blocks from the truck so 'I limped it home and up onto the trailer. I know I need to tear it apart and look for what broke, but anyone have a guess as to where to start? I'm seriously getting tired of this damn machine! 750 miles on it and already replaced the belt, wet clutch, primary clutch, clutch roller weights among a few other things. Seriously, this friggin machine has spent more time on the lift than on the road. I thought I bought this new because it was from the owner of a tractor supply, but he registered it under the stores name making me the 2nd owner voiding any and all warranties.
      Any Ideas what to look for would be appreciated.
      Thanks
