3 Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 Good day suspension gurus. Can you explain me the pros and cons on these two set up? What are the advantages the add +1 up front? and those it means you have to shorten the rear??? thanks for all your wisdom :biggrin: Quote
EastCoast Banshee Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 The +1 up front moves your motor back and balances your bike out alot better. Your not required to shorten your rear it all depends what your gonna be doing. Mx or woods go with -1 or -2 as for sand and drag i really dont know but +4 seems to be what alot of people use. Quote

I know aftermarket shock is on of it, but geometry speaking adding inchs here and there look to be the only way. So what is the best setups so far? Quote

Like i said before its all about what you intend on doing be it MX or sand. I have to know that before i can help you out. Quote
3 Posted October 5, 2006 Author Report Posted October 5, 2006 Duh! sorry about it dude. I ride mostly trails, a lot bumpy and some sand pits. No mx cause theres is only one track here that is forbiden for wheelers. So open bumpy trails and woods trails Quote
EastCoast Banshee Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 Get yourself some +2+1 a-arms for a start and shocks to go with them. I highly recomend Elkas but if you on a tight budget yfz450 shocks will do. As for the swing a-arm its more of personal prefrence. Im personally gonna go with a -2 to balance it out the best i can and i need all the traction to. I ride woods a good bit myself from what iv read -1 seems to be the way to go. Also if you still need to get alittle bit narrower than +2+1 a-arms get 4-1 offset rims they will take 2 inchs off. hope this helps if ya got any more questions just ask. Quote
3 Posted October 6, 2006 Author Report Posted October 6, 2006 Yes that's help me, thanks man. I like getting good answers like this. And yes i have more question, i have tons of questions. How do you cut your swingarms? any specials procedure, need a jig? So if you know how just tell me cause i can do it myself at job. thanks again Quote
EastCoast Banshee Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 I dont know how to do the work personally i know there was a member or two on here that used to do it. Maybe they can tell you. Quote
