squish Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Generally people have savings accounts in a bank. That way your money grows interest instead of just gathering dust in a jar. j/k :yelrotflmao: What is interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trick2stroke Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I would tend to agree with you about the price of yfz450 shocks. I wouldn't have them on any of my bikes if I hadn't gotten them for free and am too cheap to do anything else. :thumbsup: Maybe if everyone stoped overhyping them and paying those rediculous prices for stock grade parts! I wouldn't pay more then 80 dollars for a pair. Any more then that and you're pushing into the used works price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be careful with some of those Works shocks that are out there though. Some of them that I have seen are pretty beat up. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertski077 Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 yeah i was looking for a pair of works shocks but i paid 250 for the yfz and they are brand new pretty much...if i had found a DECENT looking pair of works for 250 i would have jumped on them. but i couldnt find them or dint have the money at the time. so i hope it works and if it doesnt i guess im either goin to return the a arms or get different shocks?

The thing that I have found to be frustrating in the used shock market is that you have to trust the person selling them as to what they were actually setup for. For instance, they would need to know what sort of suspension they have, their weight at the time of purchase, riding style, etc. That is a challenge for alot of folks selling shocks on eBay especially if they bought the shocks at a dealer and had them installed there or they were not the first owner of the shocks.

Bairdy13 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 :cool: Hey guys, I just received my asr +2+1 Pro star plus (the $400 pair) they sent them on the 16th and I got them in Australia on the 20th!!! I also got hold of some 05 yfz450 shocks for 260AUS and I tell you they are as if they were never on the bike in the first place. Anyway my point is that there is no mods needed to the a-arms, the only thing you need to do is grind down the top shock mount as described here http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=47969 . At full travel there is a good 5/8 inch at the closest point to the a arm. All I have to do is adjust the caster and camber. If anyone has some good advise on setting it up for trail let me know. I'll let you know the overall ride hight difference to shock when I'm done. :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairdy13 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) Hey guys, ASR ended up sending me the wrong tie rods. I flew home today thinking sweet there here, I should be able to ride tomorrow. Well the good thing is that there is no problem with the shocks or the a arms, they have plenty of clearence and the hemi's are fine! The Bad part is that the tie rods are not going to work :: with the wheels off the ground the spindle's hit the ends on the tierod, I gave a mate a call and he brought his longer tie rods around with the shock ball joints....even worse! Thats not all, if you try to turn with wheels off the ground the tie rod hits the botton a arm brackets (to much travle) and they hit the top a arm. Sorry for jumping the gun on my previous reply, I was just excited that they actually fitted, pitty I didnt wait for the bigger picture. Sorry for building up your hopes Chris and I hope you didnt order. Well the plan now is to find some more shocks and get rid of the 450's. Anyone know if the the works duel rate no ressis are any good? or another alternative with out breaking the bank to much. Well now everyone knows ASR and YFZ 450 is a no go.

Trick2stroke Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yeah, +2 banshee arms aren't going to have the proper shock mounting position to use that length of shock. The dual rate works valved for your application will be far better then the yfz shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dual rate works valved for your application will be far better then the yfz shocks. The Works shocks should be great for that application. I am a bit confused as to why +2 arms don't work with the yfz450 shock. Is it because the arms are not +2 out and +1 forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamaha04 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 how long are the tie rods i had the same problem but after adjusting everything and getting it all set up it worked fine. mine measure 13 and 3/4 inches. you definatly have to mess around with all the adjustment though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHead Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I'm still confused as to what the problem is exactly, or at least what the cause of the problem is? There are a ton of people here who are running +2+1 arms and the yfz 450 shocks without any problems (I think I'm one of them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
