LiftdT4R Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 well,that is my problem i have read and that is were i got confuzzed some say yes and some say no i just wanted some input Yeah, and I think a lot of people are going to say yes, and a lot are going to say no here too. I ran them, I heard a lot of good things about them. I liked the Works even with no rezzies better. IF that's all you can afford, they are better over stock. If your just being cheap don't you will be even happier with a shock that is the correct length, and valved and sprung for your weight and style. Like I said, I even like my Works non-rezzies better. I didn;t run the YFZs for that long, but they do make the bike sit higher, and they could be bad for the ball joints over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I was running stocks that really sucked bad. My arms felt like they wanted to rattle out the sockets and really put a beating on me. I found me a used pair & used extended a arms and now i ride where I want & how i want. Really smooth & big + over stock :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullet Man Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 there is more for it then against it. a search proves that. if your decision is based solely on that, then yes, go for it. otherwise, you have several other factors to consider. price/budget/use. personally, i was pleased with them! much improved over stock.

doo600 Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 well i dont want to be cheap but my money say otherwize everthing i read i keep hearing about ride hight cant you just cut an inch off the spring or even run banshee shocks spring's on it i think i might just buy a pair off ebay and go from there thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruko Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 well i dont want to be cheap but my money say otherwize everthing i read i keep hearing about ride hight cant you just cut an inch off the spring or even run banshee shocks spring's on it i think i might just buy a pair off ebay and go from there thanks for the input Don'y worry about the ride hieght... mine only sat about 1/2" higher than stock... and it wasn't noticable without a tape measure I'd say get some and try them.... if you don't like them just sell them again But also remeber when you are looking for some, the 04's are pretty stiff with stock a-arms... the 05's got a little softer and the 06's got softer yet... I had 06's and they were great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruko Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 When is some one going to do a thread on a banshee/450 engine,frame, or swing arm swap? there have been a few people on here who have swapped a Banshee engine into a 450... I think that would be the ultimate machine... that's what Yamaha should be building... IMO :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO :thumbsup: I am thinking of doing the 2006 shocks, but the prices on ebay are only $75 less than the works steelers with no resevoirs. What do you guys think of the yfz shocks compared to the works no res. steelers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
