Need some opinions on my quad, I am going to be getting +2 arms and a +4 axle here shortly.
Engine is stock, piped and jetted with UNI filter. +3 swinger (duner), +1 stem, trailtech bars. Yada Yada

Just looking for some opinions and suggestions. Let me know what you all think I should change or what you like. From colors to adjustments, I wanna hear em.

im just curious why you went with the +3 swinger.

i too am primarily a duner, and i've never even considered going with a longer swing arm.

Have you ever rode a +3 swinger in the sand? I absolutely love it!!!

Anybody have any suggestions or comments?

how big of a difference did the elka's make?
I have the exact same quad and it seems very stiff stock.

Next to the swinger, the elkas are the best thing that I have done to my quad.....they ride really well!!! :cool:

i've got an extended swing arm on my raptor, and im pretty indifferent on it... but no, i havent ridden with a longer swinger on my YFZ... why do you find it advantagous/superior?

i see you started putting black on some engine covers. maybe get some magnetizer oil plugs in black. i got mine with my f2 racing powerback kit. they look trick and protect your engine.

also maybe trim the front fenders. i like the dana creech cut. its not that hard. maybe loose the headlights but if your into dunes you might want them. other than that it looks sick:cool: oh by the way nice decals:D

Lights are staying, I ride the dunes at night and they are required. Some HIDS in the stock housings would look insanely bad arse, though!!!

Im sorry, what are cv4's, I prolly know, just slipped by me. I did plan on PCing the clutch cover black, but I will have to play with photoshop, chrome blue would prolly look really good.

Thanks for the ideas fellers, keep them coming!!! :D

extended a-arms and axle would be cool, but then you might have to get your elkas re-valved for the a-arms, but so far the bike is awesome, and super clean!

Thanks bro. I will have to get a stiffer main spring.....which I can install myself in a few minutes. Ive only had the shocks a couple months, shoulda waited till I bought the arms. :ermm:

Thanks for the comments, keep em coming. :)

cv4's are the hoses going to the radiator.....they just have trick colors and handle heat and cold better i guess....to be honest i bought them for looks:p

Oh yeah, I seen them in Quad magazine. That would look good. I will check into them. :cool:

Keep the comments and suggestions coming, I wanna hear em.

No, not yet. I have played with the tape, but just can't bring myself to do it. I am waiting on my axle and arms, before I make the decision. I most likely will cut them. ;)

Thanks for the good words, RideRaceLive. :)

Unless you feel like you need more power, i'd start focusing on comforts!

Steering stabilizer?
Flex bars?
Hydraulic clutch?

I definately use all the available power, but I am more pleased with comforts.
A steering stabilizer is on the list for sure. The flexx bars are not my cup of tea, I rode my buddies LTR with them and I honestly did not like them. My clutch is really easy to pull as it is, but a hydro clutch would be awesome, I have never pulled a hydro clutch, but I would imagine it would be awesome.

As of right now, I am going to start shedding weight by taking off useless crap.

Keep the suggestions coming. :cool:

I'll post some new pics when my arms and axle are installed. 2 week turnaround on the arms. :ermm:

Sorry man, I can't do another. Kind of a one time thing, you know? I do recommend getting a +3 swinger, even if you ride the dunes once a year.....it is so awesome!!! Rides really well and levels out really well in the air. :)
