My 416ex has standard burgard/axis all around. I def notice a difference with my yfz450 with LT elka all around/walsh. Its a good upgrade if you ask me. More suspension travel is nice.

Its not that you get that much more travel, the shock builder can valve it more precise if there is that extra length of stroke. Thats where you get the advantage.

I found a really good deal on roll lt w/ axis shocks (front)
too good to pass up, wanting to start mx next year.
hope it's alot of fun, i enjoy watching.
by the way does the 416 kit add a whole lot of horsepower,
i was told it was more reliable than the 440 kit.
thanks

For having a 416 bore, 10.8.1 compression, valves, ported head, full hinson clutch, HMF slip on. It does real well. It holds its own. Open KandN also. It took first about 3 weeks ago in 4 stroke C. Guess it works well enough. It could use a bigger carb i think over the stocker. Im going to look into a 39-41mm.

^GET A 39MM FCR!!^
I have a 416, 10.8 comp, port, polish, hotcam stg2, hinson basket, barnett plates, powerbong header, HMF slipon, Open UNI, and the fcr39mm, it helps quite a bit, I struggled with my stocker carb with those mods for 3 months. sorry to change subject.-darren
