	im upgrading my Et 340 suspension:) Im putting a allmost new kimpex gold shock(not gas) i had laying around on my Yamaha ET 340. but i did a search here and found that people think they are crap.. do you think they are better than the stock gas shocks? im also putting some springs from a long track et 340 because they are stiffer 92 XCR 440 with: xtra 10 suspension camoplast challenger track 2" Powermad riser and a Yamaha ET 340:) Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	Gas shocks are rebuildabe but the hydrolic dont last as long. So no they are not as good as gas but they were lieing around so why not use them. '01 Zr 500 1.25 Ripsaw Mbrp Can Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
