how do you like the honda compared to your old YFZ?

[MR.BIG]

I have a question for you XC guys. When you guys change your rear shock and linkage what are you using to keep the new shock linkage from getting busted up. I know you could probably shim the skid plate but then you are loosing ground clearance.

Those billet links are pretty indestructable.

its great, I'm an old school honda R guy..........but the YFZ was pretty bad ***........... Honda frt. works so much better,steers and tracks perfectly.......the YFZ rear end (Axis and Gibson on the rear) was far better than what I have now... But i'm working with what I got to make it better.......

I used my stock skid plate for now, I'm not into lowering the skid to cover the link!!! thats way too low!! I just used the stock skid and cut it out to clear the link........the link looks ugly and takes a beating, but thereS really no other way....

later, J

R looks sweet JL.

I use the GT Thunder linkage, and NO swingarm skidplate. I run the sprocket guard (disc) Laz sells and a small skid underneath the brake rotor that Rowlrag (Vet class racer and Borich's mechanic) makes. Its held up great so far after 5 GNCC's and a butt-load of hard rides.:cool:

[jlhughes750]

Yeah, i'm thinkin about gettin one of those sprocket guards

i run an AC skid plate and cut the linkage box out of it, the GT Thunder linkage has tooken tons of blows, and its perfectly fine

i have a question, why did you take your stickers off your elkas?

[jlhughes750]

If it can withstand the Wisp, then I'll be sold on the idea.

How does the link fair though not being covered? I know I slam my skid pretty often where it covers my link....:ermm:

I have 3 questions for ya...

1. Does your works connection clutch lever clear the start/stop black box?
2. And where did you get it....or who has the best price on them?
3. Did you just wire the 2 clutch safety wires together to get it to start in gear?

cause I can't stand the stock perch,
