Stinger Posted October 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I think the lowering blocks will make the springs interfere with the upper arm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guttedEF Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I just installed the YFZ shocks on my shee last week, and I am 100% satisfied. I think that for the money you will spend, (in my case $200) and the time it takes, you cannot go wrong. I use my shee for MX and used to bottom out almost every jump if i didn't land it perfectly, but with the YFZ's, it soaks it up much more. I just wanted to post this for all the people who are in doubt about this set-up, it does work. Also, props to the guy who made this post and the "How-to", it is perfect and I second that it should be stickied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Glad it helped you out. I'm suprised it hasn't been stickied as well. I found the same thing when I installed mine...I can jump much higher before I bottom out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpeinkc Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Na spongy at first then fades and gets real hard. So a waste of time and money. 421461[/snapback] i thought that if it were to fade it would be come softer and bottom out easier, so how do they get real hard? i am surprized you have not reposted with your expination on this, hope to hear your real world advice on this one!

pimpeinkc Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 when i had my warrior, i broke a shock out at little sahara, no one had any, and this was my first time at the dunes. to make it worse, it was the first day of a 3 day weekend, so i looked for cheap altenitive, ended up with a set of raptor shocks, had to force them in, rode better, jumped better. i loved them, it did meke my bike sit up higher, but i never had any trouble, if i had the 450 shocks on there, i bet it would have been that much better..

ElDiablo52 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I was thinking about extending the stock arms by sleeving in a 2 in long peice of tubing same OD as factory arms, then the shock mount will be 2 inches further out, so then wouldnt the yfz shocks work fine, then I could just either clearence the everything or cut the old lower shock mounts off and make new ones with a higher bolt hole. Also what about the rear shock does the stocker work as good as the YFZs or doesnt anyone have a problem with the rear shocks ride or bottoming out?

ElDiablo52 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 so why hasnt anyone explained this whole balljoint deal. Im realling looking into this because Im not liking the ride I get out of the front shocks when going over small fallen trees and when hitting sharp ruts and stuff, jumping isnt bad because the bike lands more level and the shocks seem to work well together, but when you land on the front or the front hits a bump or such they seem be pretty harsh. I dont want to go any wider because Ive got barely an inch on either side through some spots on the trails, and the viable way I see spending the dough on a good set of shocks is when your switching to wider a arms to complete the whole handling set up. So the El cheapo 450 shocks seems like a great alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yfzut Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 me and my freind both just put on a set of yfz shocks on both are banshees and we did it the same way and it worked perfect and it sits about an inch higher and much better in the rough. and we payed less than 150.00 a set so it turned out to be well worth it.

bansheeryder_69 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 so has anybody had problems with their ball joints, and does the rear shock go on by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guttedEF Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 no problems yet..don't really anticipate any either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4everwantedbanshee Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 i need a answer on the rear shock. will it work or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guttedEF Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 i need a answer on the rear shock. will it work or not. 460103[/snapback] I can't speak from experience on this one, but I've heard not without modification. And also, a simple revalve of your rear shock should do the trick. Again, just from what I've read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shee-Male Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 That was a great post!, I think the HQ should have a how to section!! Did the conversion and it's nice, Good quality shock IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
