Ok.. ive decided to enter my first motocross race on October 21 and 22. Ive got +2 a-arms and a lonestar axle but never have gotten around to getting my suspension revalved. I know that if i keed it widened with the stock suspension i will bottom out on every little jump. I figured that maybe i should put my stock arms on for the race and that way my shocks wont bottom out so easily. What do you guys think? I feel like if i put it back to stock width though, that others will have an advantage in the corners? Give me your opinions on what i should do...
Thanks :eek2:

well first off how much do you weight because it matter about that but if you dont weight that much then it shouldnt bottom out because I have everything stock on my 450ER and I have not bottomed out yet with the stock arms but my weight is 225 so yea

I run +2+1 with stock shocks and no problems.No bottoming out just turn up the Compression till u either get a rebuild or aftermarket shocks!!!!!

alright.. thanks guys. i weigh about 175. My shocks just feel really soft. i've got the preload collars all the way hard and the compression all the way up. It seems like it would bottom with a small jump. I dont know.. i guess ill just try it.
Thanks
