YFZ front shocks on a 400 ex

[gojufist]

I know your quads front end will sit lower.

Yes it will lower the front about an inch and you may have to grind the top mount on the shock. No big deal and a nice improvement

1 inch but it allows you to drop the ride hight down to about 7 inches in front if wanted by adjusting the pre load (ride hight). At least mine with yfz front shocks let me set my ride hight at 7 inches of gc with 20 inch front tires.

You can land any thing with yfz shocks. For jumping yfz shocks will soak up every thing. I some times flat land at almost 15ft of air!
:eek2:

I use 04 shocks the 06 and newer i think are softer.

the yfz shocks i can adj to feel almost soft as 400ex stock shocks. I had them soft as can go and ihad to much body roll. i run them almost stiff as they go. When i lift the front up and drop the front down it makes a clonk cause the shocks dont move easly when set to stiff.

go to link and go down to about middle of page.
