First impressions of yfz a-arm/shock swap.

What do you guys use to trim the a-arms with? Do all yfz shocks have high and low speed adjustments, or just the SE editions?

 

Personally, I have a jig that I built for cutting the arms down using my abrasive wheel chopsaw. This makes sure that I can consistently reproduce the same results and fit each and every time. Then I dress them up, so there are no hangers, burrs etc.

 

As far as shocks go, the standard YFZ shocks only have single speed compression and single speed rebound adjustment (preload too). The SE shocks, from 06-08 models (?) had hi and low speed compression adjustment, instead of simple compression adjustment. NOW, if you are ambitious, you can run make the YFZ450R shocks work. I haven't got the chance to ride it yet, but I'm hopeful.
