Hey guys,
I know that the new Yamaha (2018-19 450F, 19 250F) is different, but was wondering if the shock from previous 14-17 models fit? I know that it fits into the mounting holes, but the service guy couldn't confirm whether it fits due to different frame... He mentioned something that the shock body could be hidden because of the new frame and that the new shock is slightly more angled.
Anyone with more info? Would like to pick an Ohlins shock from the 14-17 model, but would want to be sure before pulling the trigger.
Thanks

Measure both shocks from eye to eye to ensure they are the same length .
If one is longer a spacer can be added to shorten the shaft.
And of course it will need to be valved for the new bike.
