and increases bump steer.

it eats up wheel bearings and ball joints a ton faster......ask me how i know lol

I'm gonna have a field day with this one... You have these factors: Extended length Compressed length Spring rate(s) Compression damping Rebound damping Each is absolutely critical. Idk who said it but adjustability is also critical. I cut 6 seconds off my lap time with only suspension adjustments at my home tack. Yfz shocks will work, stock shocks will work, pogo sticks will work... but there comes a point where you have to define "work." There is no such thing as "not being able to take advantage of *this* level of suspension." Better suspension will always make everyone faster, safer, and less fatigued IN EVERY CASE. Any aftermarket shock you find of the correct length range (within less than 1/4" of specified) can be setup. The eyes are interchangeable. Fox does not make a 20.5" shock for a yfz, a 20.5" shock for a trx, a 20.5" shock for an LTR... they make a shock of a specified length and sell them with a bag of inserts and different valving. Any can be used in another application once different eyes are used and the valving and spring rates are set. If I was to buy your bike, I'd sell everything you bought. None of it is useful for mx. If I had a banshee with only suspension mods and a stock engine and pipes and a banshee with only a built engine of any amount of hp, I'd use the first one if my family's ability to eat depended on me winning. T5s are the best at one thing: convincing you they are good pipes. Pro circuits, SLP, PT Mids, or another mx pipe is going to be a far better option. You want the centerline of the tire as close to the lateral center of the ball joints as possible. More width via rim spacing is flat out dangerous. Even with a 4/1 rim, a stabilizer is often needed to combat what you're going to see on a track. Nice bumpers, skidplates, bigger tank, lights, etc. = weight. Boost bottle needs to go to the trash. It serves about as good at making horsepower as I does as an inhaler. You speak of your long term goal, but what is that exactly? I wouldn't buy alba anything. I'd buy SOME from LSR. Elkas are great ONCE SET UP. They are atrocious out of the box. Buy used and have them built and they will be great shocks. You also need: Good nerfs Gripper seat Good grips Tether Good bars Hand guards Good boots Good tires I'm sure there's more. That's the absolute basics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let a legit builder do it all. I’ve had a 7mm stock cyl motor and a 68 bore cub both with LEDs. Stock cylinders take work to make powa and $. Save ur $ and do a cub or bigger
