jb73 Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Fireball racing a arms +2 +1 - does anyone have a pic of this set up? I have yfz 450 shocks and this thing steers hard as hell. Maybe a arms need more ajusting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb73 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Here are some pictures of the new setup. The toe is set 1/4 in on the front and the camber is 1/4 in on the top.Do all the +2 +1 get harder to steer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 What is your caster set at? Greatly increased caster can make the bike harder to steer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hercalmighty Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Do you have the top arms on the correct side? Switch the top arms and see if you can get the clearance you need to set your castor right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Yeah, get us a good pic from above looking straigh down. 1.25 inches is an awefull lot. I run 6 degrees caster. I think you may have the upper arms on the wrong side. Get us a better pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is at 15 degrees caster - way to much, so i called the company and thay said that the shock mount was to high on lower arm. So they're going to make another set for me.
