well i think honda and yamaha made a mistake by not upgrading the shocks on the raptor and 400ex. i think in the following year, this one coming up in a year lol, that yamaha should put yfz shocks on the rappy and 450r shocks on the 400ex. if they did this these 2 quads would be SO much better i think and would increase thier sales. also yamaha needs to lower the dam raptor. thats the only thing i got againts it. if it was lower i think itd be aweseome, and a tad bit lighter. 400 lbs is kinda heavy, 380 or seomthin would be nice.

what are your guys opinions on this?

thankfully i was riding my friends raptor today when i hit a stump sticking out of the ground.. the raptor stock shocks soaped up th hit and i barly felt it.. if i was on my yfz i would have got thrown off...

so hopefully the yfz shocks stay on the yfz


as for the 400ex shocks whats wrong with them??

im just saying in general, i think it would be nice to se some preload on the shocks on the rappy and 400ex.i guess maby not 450r shocks on the ex and yfz shocks on the raptor. but maby some rezzies, preload or seomthin you know?
