YFZ450R Rear Shock

[ETR174]

My rear shock is running like crap and needs to be rebuilt. It sits too low and when I sit the rear end is very low to the ground. I want to know can a YFZ450R rear shock replace it with no problems? I found one for a good price and wanted to know if it will work. Only thing is that its off a YFZ450R which is a long travel suspension set up and the rear shocks are longer than the carbonated base YFZ450. Also I am 6'3" and weight 250 lbs and wanted to know if it'll support my weight more?

If i had to guess i would say most likely not. Looks like the res might get in the way of the mount

Yeah I was kinda sketchy about that. So I would have to go with a stock carb base model shock?

I've got a raptor 660 shock I might want to get rid of, its got a remote rez and is a little longer... by at least an inch. Imo you'd probably be better off getting your stocker rebuilt with the right spring, that's the path I've decided to take... after picking up that raptor shock.

I just think it would be cheaper to get a brand new shock instead of paying high money to get it rebuilt.

I have a great stock banshee shock for sale.

Is it hard to rebuild it yourself? Any special tools?

Just buy my good used one for 50.00 shipped. Off of SE. Has black spring. Cheaper option, no rebuilding needed

SE? There's one on eBay that was just rebuilt but doesn't have the rubber stop.
