high speed, low speed, back to center, angle of center/turn, and corner dampening

[DirtDevilBT]

Damn DJ, that's sweet looking. Nice pic. Is that on ur bike or the website?

All in all, the precision, elka, scotts all sound good but I'll stick with my stick. lol, denton that it.

[DJJ450r]

It's a pic from there website on John Natalie's bike, for the price I can't see it being any better than the precision. I know it has more adjustments, but unless your Pro I don't think I could tell a difference.

[Jack457]

Putting 10 more adjustments on my Precision is not going to make it better for me, it would be much worse. The thing works awesome out of the box!

[400exrider0004]

im getting one :D

how wouldnt it? adjustability is what makes a product good, when you can fine tune it for exactly what you want, that is what elka is offering

as for the precision working out of the box, so will the elka and scotts and other dampeners, its the adjustments that makes them good, and right now, elka is far ahead in dampeners imo

i am for sure getting the system 5 over a precision, no questions asked, when you can setup a product exactly how you want it, or take a product that is halfway setup for u, but still uncomfortable and doesnt match perfect, which would you have

Ride Fast Ride Hard Ride Elka :macho

just curious but is elka giving u a good sized discount because your sponsored? u dont have to reply if its against your contract or somethin like that.

[DJJ450r]

He does get a discount because he is sponsored and that's why he saying such good things about them, to me you don't need that many adjustments.

[IOWAracer]

All i need is the ole denton works good for me i might get an elka later on but im not gonna spend 500$$ to get somthing that works almost the same as my dampner now

broc

[Jack457]

Yurik,

The best stereo isn’t the one with the most knobs.

I have a Precision and my friend has a Scotts damper. The Scotts has more adjustments then the Precision, but no matter how much we tuned we could never get it to perform as well as the Precision. The Elka is not the Scotts but it is very similar, a little too similar.
Having never ridden the Elka I can not comment on it, but either have you. Assuming it’s as good or better then a Precision is as ridicules as assuming it’s as bad as the worst stabilizer (total bull). Time will tell where its place is.

[woodsman250r]

I get so sick and tired of hearing Yurik blab about how great Elka products are. The Precision is a proven dampener that has been put to the test and works. Just because the Elka has more adjustments doesn't mean its going to blow the Precision out of the water. 99% of people won't mess with all of those adjustments each time they ride, its a PITA and unless you are a top pro you probaly won't get the full benefit from it. Also the range that you can adjust the Precision is almost endless. And the only reason you are getting an Elka is because you are sponsored by them. You should just try to get a job working for Elka because all you do is sales pitch their products.

Ride Fast Ride Hard Ride Elka :macho elka shocks don't work out of the box everyone is sending them to other people to get work on so i don;t think there dampeners work out of the box either

eganracing:
wether or not i get a discount doesnt matter, i would still buy elka products, but they do help out a lot of racers, such as myself

Jack457:
the elka is no where near the scotts, the scotts was built for a dirtbike, to bring the bars to center and hold stability, not a 4 wheeler, you cant even compair that, and for who is to say that i havent rode on the elka dampener?

woodsman250r:
im not blabing about how good anything is, if it wasnt for me you wouldnt have had the link to the site and u guys wouldnt even kno about any of this until the press release on exriders, and i never said it would blow the precision out of the water, i said it will be better, you are right, many people wont want to mess with it, thats y there is a system 3, has nothing to do with being sponsored, my friend has a precision, precision offered me sponsorship also (bet you didnt kno that), but i turned it down, so now you know im not buying it on the basis of sponsorship, i could have had either one for the same price, and i dont sales pitch anything, i jus bring you guys the information and my opinion, then you all flame me for bringing you the information, whats the deal with that? its like i tell you about a product then your mad for me telling you? just because elka makes something doesnt mean its bad, i love elka and they make great products, and trust me, you will find this out when you ride on it

ronnie:
it won the baja, plus the fact that the pros who have tested it that i have talked to like it better then the precision, ive had only a small amount of time on the precision, but soon i will ride them side by side, but i like you so i have no need to argue :blah:

[96lapis coupe]

You're still talking?

i didnt even know precision was sponsoring anybody. i thought he wasnt going to sponsor anybody because he didnt need to. so r u racing nationals or something? because it sounds like u know what your doing when it comes to mx.

Amen to this. I have been saying this for a long time now and Finally someone else sees it. We don't get mad at you for bringing a certain product to the forum's attention. But it's ALWAYS an Elka pitch or Elka this Elka that. This "Ride Fast Ride Hard Ride Elka" just cracks me up. Maybe you should be on the advertising budget. :rolleyes:

He doesn't race MX he races a local XC series called MHSC:macho And just because it won the baja doesn't mean its a good product, Elka gave them the dampner to run. They also ran the shocks and we all know how good them are:blah:

The Pro's you talk to the dampers were givin to them for free more then likey. Of course they are going to say that, I would say it to when they are giving me free parts. Dave Chapell said it best, when he was paid by coke and pepsi and coke paid him last so he says coke is the best. Money talks kid !

they are sponsoring people, they offered sponsorship to me, they are nice guys up there, i forgot the guys name i used to tak to, but he was a very nice guy and explained everything to me, how it works etc, and y it was better then everyone elses, im not saying their dampener is bad, and im not here to argue with you guys, voice your opinion, if you think elka sucks then so be it, but i like elka, and they make good products imo, so y are you all mad at me for saying what i think, isnt that y they made the first amendment :confused:

devon, ima call u when i get back, we need to ride or somethin, 2 and 1/2 weeks, and u shall get a phonecall from me :blah:

Stop whining. We aren't getting mad, it's just funny how you seem to plug elka on just about every post you make. No one ever said you couldn't state your opinion about Elka, it's just the general masses don't agree with you. Yes you have free speech, but so do we.

i met the owner of precision at one of the local races and he is a very nice guy and is really good at explaining his product. thats y i went with precision.

im not whining, your getting lippy with me and i did nothing but tell you all about a product, just look at the first post you made in this thread, does that really help determine if this is a good product or not, does it actually help anyone? no it doesnt, so y put it, i dont go into your threads and badmouth u, so y do it to me? and yes it may seem i plug elka a lot, but thats only because being that they sponsor me i find out about a lot of stuff before you guys do, and sometimes get to try things out for my sponsors, and elka has released new products lately so it may seem i say their name more then others, but if hiper or anyone else released products this often, i would mention their name as well, but u wouldnt debate hiper now would u...

just my 2 cents ;)

Hiper I will not. ;) But I look at from an usually unbiased perspective. I understand that you rave about how good Elka is and lippy is my middle name. I'm just always up for a good debate/discussion. I've never said once that you were wrong. Just stating my opinion same as yourself.

ya hes a good guy, my buddy i ride with all the time has a precision, so expect a side by side comparision of performance between the two from me soon, his precision is very nice and i like it a lot, just i think i will like the elka more, we will see tho

i cant wait to get them side by side and test them tho :macho

alright thats fine then, debating i can do, i just dont want to get into an arguement about something dumb, such as what is better then what, when the other product isnt even out yet, all i was saying is that the elka has more adjustments, which means finer tuner, which is better in my eyes

i will give you the fact that many people will not use all of the adjustments on the 5, but thats y they made the 3, so who knows

i just want to test them side by side and find out which one is really better, i will post pictures and everything, but i will be leaving for the wisp in about 5 minutes, so i will talk to you all when i return in 2 weeks :macho

[DJJ450r]

Yurik, your to slow to put a dampner to a real test:D and when is laz going to set your shocks up like DJ's axis?:o I get out of school July 7th so then you can come over and we can ride. I got my axis on so we can compare, and soon enough I'll have a precision dampner:macho I see you found a new person to argue with:D
