yfz dual or triple rate springs

[ltd.yfz]

Has anyone on here ever changed to a dual or triple rate spring on their yfz shocks?

[GrMeyer]

From the stuff that i have seen and read on that yfz and banshee shocks dont have a long enough strock to take the full advantage of the triple rate springs and most are just staying with dual.

I think I'm going to go with a dual rate conversion. You can adjust the ride height up to 1" lower, which would make them a perfect fit. Who are you buying the conversion from?

I haven't decided if i'm gonna do yfz shocks yet. I have works dual rates on the shee now and think its alittle too soft. But i'm prolly just going to change my works to a triple rate spring.

[GrMeyer]

If you have works then I would just say with them... Do you have rez on them? If not, you can look into adding compression adj rez's to stiffen them up depending on place of riding. Or try to find out what wt oil and type of valving is in there and work around that. I wouldnt go to triple on the shock because they dont have enough shock travel to see any us from it. Most of the triple rate springs are just keepers to the two mains springs that work to keep them from rattling when the shock is fully extended. Hope this helps.

The dual rate kits that works makes for the Yfz shocks are a huge improvement over stock.,but they are price IMO for a few springs and some isolators.

Thats why I say, find the spring rates you need and do it your self for maybe a littler cheaper. Best of luck.

Yeah thats what i think i'm gonna do, keep the works and get new springs or revalved. On my yfz i might get the dual rate springs tho. I rode it yesterday and it beat me up pretty bad compared to my banshee.

I got steering stabilizers on my bikes and its a new ball game. Going from one with one and one without is HELL. I will always buy one for my bikes. I can ride twice as long and you dont get the arm pump. If you can. I know elka has a serial number on their shocks and they keep log of what the build is for. So you might want to try to contact works on this and see what they are set up for. That way you can work with valving or at least shock rates. Another thing is when was the last time your shocks had the oil changed? MattSCESC on here has helped me out alot and has filled in alot of the unknown factors to those who have never worked on the insides of a shock. As of for the YFZ. I have looked into making mine dual rate and revalving with racetech piston. But money is what everyone has been seen these days.

I'll talk to works about the shocks. I do have a ccp stabilizer on my yfz. I rode it sunday and it didn't seem to help in the choppy sand. I never get arm pump on either quad. I just don't like the bouncing around from the choppy sand.

[GrMeyer]

well I know I get thrown around if you ride in the sand that the buggies run in. But the steering stabilizer should keep you from getting the quick arm pump from turning. I find it easier to ride in the buggies tracks and keep the front end up as much as I can. Other then that; riding and tryn to find virgin sand. Oh and going on the off weekends. You might want to try to slow down your rebound on the shocks. It should help out on the jolts.

Thanks i'll try that.
