  1. Dirtbikes make ruts, and they cry because quads kill their ruts. They also don't like all the mud quads though in their roost and they don't like being taken in the turns.. I say fuck 'em.. ha
  2. Sounds normal to me too. I've got YFZ shocks with +2+1's and it's the same way. It's from the added leverage of the extended arms I'm assuming. Also, if the shocks came back out to full extension with those arms, it would sit way up in the front end.

    If it is has the same thread pitch and is relatively the same length it should work fine. you should be able to adjust out the difference in length if there is any..
  4. Good question! I've been wondering the same thing since I saw them in Dirt WHeels. I'm hopefully gonna be upgrading soon. The new ones do look awesome though..
  5. I'm about 220lb and they do fine for me. I realize they aren't ELKA's or AXIS, but for the money, I'm 100% satisfied with them.
  6. I would say you defintely got a deal. I thought he was around $500 typically? This guy is local to me and I'm pretty damn sure he was over $500 before, which is why I didn't buy from him then. He's in Mesa, AZ. Either way, he's a good guy and has a great product. And for that price you can't really go wrong.
  7. I spend around $350 for the arms and $150 for the shocks. The arms come with everything you need to install them except grease. My next upgrade will definetely be aftermarket shocks front and rear. But this is a huge improvement over stock, and for the money, it can't be beat. I didn't have $800+ at the time for shocks alone, and I have zero regrets on what I did. I've been using this for probably 8-9 months almost every weekend and have had zero issues.
  8. I'm running YFZ450 shocks with my ASR's and they work great. For the money, I don't think there's a better setup. And I didn't have to grind anything at all to make them fit or allign properly. the fully adjustable ones are the way to go. And i abuse mine about the same as he said above. 90% of the time I ride MX and haven't bent or broken anything. I've cased many a jump and have no problems. I'd be more worried about the weak ass Banshee frame crackign than my a-arms.
  9. I've got ASR a-arms and have had them for some time, with zero problems. The guy is super nice and easy to deal with. I would rather have LSR or Roll, but for the money ASR can't be beat. Some people don't have $600+ just for the arms. Plus, most of these are only knock-offs of an expensive brand.
  10. I've got the YFZ450 calipers on my Banshee, and yes they fit right on. Just have to remove the backing plate/heat shield thing which is pointless anyways. And I do think they make a difference, but I replaced me entire front braking system so it's hard to say what made the most difference. The reason for this change is that my stock master cylinder took a shit, and well Banshee stuff just sucks anyways.. I went with the 450R master cylinder, ASR steel braided brake lines, YFZ450 calipers, and EBC pads. And in my opinion, HUGE improvement over stock. I mainly ride MX and the difference is huge, not just in clamping power, but I get hardly any brakefade now, and it used to be unavoidable. I say it's worth the time and money if you ride your bike hard like I do. If you're just a cruiser or drag racer it may not be so worthwhile though.
  11. I gotta agree. There's no way you actually used the "search" button.
  12. This is some childish BS. I know maybe you got ripped off, blah. But take this name calling crap somewhere else. I come to HQ to avoid petty crap like this. If I wanted this, I would be on Bluetraxx.. I'm not trying to be a hater, just settle this crap in a PM or something.:shoothead:
  13. Go to Ebay. Here's a link to the ones I bought. There's a few different one, sometimes I wish I got the lesser ones just because you don't have much to adjust. Either way, I like them. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ASR-Yamaha-...652084508QQrdZ1
  14. Sounds like the axle itself is loose. It's the two big ass bolts on the left side, they are notorious for backing off. Get a couple of pipe wrenches and some lock-tite and tighten it back up. Don't ignore it, it's one of those easy small problems than could become something big if ignored.
  15. Did you grind the sides of the carbs for the air screw to fit flush? I've seen those have an air leak and cause it to run like poop.
