I have an 07 400ex that my girlfriend rides and wondered if there is a linkage for the rear to make it ride a little better. I am getting some axis for the front but want to loosen the rear up with a different linkage if there even are any.

Between the spring and the shock adjustment, you should be able to soften it up quite a bit without changing the linkage. Have you tried that allready?

Yeah I was just lookin for a different leverage ratio so it wouldnt buck quite as bad. Shes complaining about the ride.

i made the rebound a quarter turn to the right from tock factory settings and it made all the difference. Felt like a dream over factory with just a quarter turn

ELKA, I run Elka long travel rear shock with the linkage. It's not a cheap setup but for the 400 there is no better.

i have the gt thunder rear linkage and revalve on my wifes 400ex...100x better for that rear end buck... c&d claims the same results with revalve only, no linkage
