  8. LTZ400 or YFZ 450 Shocks

    in Suspension

    there is no adjustments on them, well ok they have the same preload adjuster as stock banshee shocks if you want to call that a adjustment

     

     

    for the early Z400 shocks, this is correct. for the later Z400 shocks with reservoirs, they have the same adjustments as a YFZ shock. plus the rezy's are in the same location. but they are a bit longer.

    yep yep, spacers look awesome! got mine a couple days ago but didnt get to check them out until today.

     

     

    great guy to deal with.

    i knew i didnt have to question whether or not they would show up or when. never used the tracking number he sent me.

     

    i'll have mine up and going very soon as well.

     

    thanks Brian

  11. 450R shocks with yfz450 arms help

    sure they'll be in the back again but only if you rotate the shock to be like that. :biggrin:

     

    if you rotate the shock on one side so the rezy is in the front now, pick that shock up with the rezy facing the front (dont turn it, just pick it straight up), move it to the opposite side of the quad and drop it into place, the rezy is still facing forward but the adjustments are facing out like they should be. where as if you left that shock on the same side but just flipped it so the rezy is facing forward, it puts the adjusters facing into the frame.

     

    LTR rezy's are perpendicular to the shock, horizontal instead of vertical like YFZ and TRX shocks.

    z400 shocks look like trx and yfz.

     

    the YFZ SE shocks with H/L speed adjustments, their owners want like $400 for them :down:

    i dont know if the TRX shocks had or have this adjustment.

    hmmm....now this is interesting. i just bought a pair of the trx shocks too.

    is it just on the one side or both?

     

    you might be able to gain some room by flipping them but i dont know for sure.

    if you flip them so the rezy's are facing forward, also flip them from side to side (left shock to the right side of quad and vice versa). this will keep the adjustment screws on the shocks facing the outside instead of turned into the frame.

    whats the cheapest shocks you have found, I'm probably going to get ltz400 w\r because they are cheaper than 450s.

     

     

    i picked up some '06 trx450 shocks for $210 that was the cheapest i could find.

    i was going to get some LTR shocks but decided against it. i didnt want to take a chance of the reservoir being in the way of the pipes. it seems like it would be a close call, if not in the way.

     

    seems all factory rezy shocks (yfz/trx/z400/ltr) go for about the same price tho. granted there are some owners of these that are very proud of what they are trying to sell. and then once in awhile, you do come across a good deal but they are usually sold before i get to them. my patience was wearing thin, so i jumped when i found these. not too bad a price, not that great either but i have seen much higher.

     

    a-arms are on the way also, only a matter of time now :beer:

    How are the mounting brakets on the frame they looked tweeked when i was the wrecked pics?

     

     

    as far as i can tell, they look fine too me.

     

    i did however pick up another frame with a title since my title was accidentally thrown out :evil: . i might have a buddy remove the mounts off of it and relocate them for the YFZ arm width and placement, so i dont have to cut the a-arms this time. i'm not decided on it for sure tho.

    :biggrin: haha j/k

     

     

     

    anyway, i am starting to repair my bike now.

    i bought some caster camber adjustable upper ASR chrome a-arms, standard width for a YFZ (hopefully these work out) and i'm going to give the Honda 450r shocks a try this go around (or LTR450 shocks if i can find a decently priced pair).

    still looking for some lower arms, or one lower arm atleast.

     

    what ya'll think?

     

    i'll post up some before the wreck, after the wreck and repaired pics when i am finished putting it back together.
