Overboost Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 well, with a 22 year old rear shock, set on the stiffest setting, jumping and racing in the sand dunes has yielded the familiar bounce that we all know and love when the oil in the shock gets left in a small puddle in the sand. then the ride back in the trail, with all the whoop ties, made for an interesting ride back to camp to say the least. my question is, is there a nice upgrade for the rear shock without going elka or something pricey? or should I just stick with a stocker and put some rezzies in the front? the travel on the suspension is kinda crap compaired to my buds DS 650 (who got beat up repeatedly in the dunes and on the straights, from a dig and on the roll) I may just go with a stocker but if there is an upgrade that will cost about the same to put in, since I have to change it anyways, might as take the opportunity to go better.. any suggestions?

Overboost Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 you might try this. good price. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/yamaha-bans...sQ5fAccessories yea, but is this for the entire shock unit or internal parts only? is the stock one rebuildable? if so, then this may be a good option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ban99 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 yes, the stock shock is re-buildable. I personally have not used this item but have been told that it is a good alternative to a new aftermarket shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
