EastCoast Banshee Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 With custom built shocks they should be fine for mx. Using stock yfz shocks will work but it wont hold acandle to a properly sprung and valved bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAVAGE420 Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Man yfz 450 arms ARE on and mx bike. The shocks will work fine , just if you can afford better shocks go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh i know stock 450 shocks work fine but im just saying if you can get alittle better shocks or get the 450 shocks revaled and sprung for best results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oz2216 Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 If you don't get the yfz shocks and use the stocks, the bike will sit really low in front. I had the yfz shocks and recently changd them to a set of yfz fox floats. I would still like to get a decent set of a arms though, My steering is extremely hard and I can only think it's caused by the upper a arm being the other way around which causes the ball joints to be out of line. I'm used to it now, but if I jump on someone elses bike I pick up a huge difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awaitedshee Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 what do you mean you pick up a huge difference? you mean your slower with the yfz a- arms im lookin for somethin good for mx for right now like if i decide to really upgrade my a-arms to a aftermarket set should i still go with yfz ones or get actual banshee ones? well i guess my real question is will the yfz front suspension, a-arms spindles and everything be good for mx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Jackson Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) the only thing id do is run longer shocks than yfz shocks if i was gona MX with it... i feel like you would be bottoming out alot with such little ground clearance and big jumps Edited May 4, 2008 by Michael Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansheeb0y5505 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 what would happen if yo used long travel banshee shocks? too long? also, i had an idea of actually lowering the top shock mount to raise it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Just go aftermarket, you'll be happier in the long run. I get better travel with aftermarket arms on those yfz shocks. I'll prob have one of the shops work the shocks though, i want something better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee21 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I got the complete YFZ front end on mine with shocks and all I do is MX and trails and I couldnt be any happier with the setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
