Shcks

i was wondering if a set of shocks off a yamaha 450 would fit on a warrior> I heard other quads can interchange if any one knows that would be awsome casue im thinking that a set offf a 450 would make a world of differnce

no their too long if you can find someone to shorten them then theyll work. a couple guys actually moved the upper shock mount up but i would highly not recommend this. the best yamaha shocks that you can put on a warrior is banshee shocks, thats what im runnin now or works can be had for cheap on ebay every once in awhile

Hey thanks for the info yeah thats what i was thinking that those would only fit off a banshee but yeah i was also wondering if any other brands like honda would fit on a warrior without modifcation...

[beastlywarrior]

hmm maybe a 300ex shock but that wouldnt be any better 400s are almost as long as 450s

i bolted front shocks from a 2005 yfz450 to my 1999 warrior...no problems...

i did some looking into that and by putting that longer shock on without long travel a arms will cause catastrophic ball joint failure from the extreme angles

i bolted raptor 660 to my 1998 it raised it up about 2" but i put a 3" lowering kit on. it rides smooth and awsome on jumps

I got my wife the Raptor 350 and was thinking in the future I might get her some better suspension. i am upgrading my 2009 Polaris Outlaw with Fox Podium stock shocks on it. I weigh 290 - with all my race gear on 300 lbs - add 10-15 pounds of mud in a race. After an exhausting search for like months, I found a shock company that can and will build any rebuidable shock and was told it would be as good as any high end shock. It turns out that 1,200.00 to 1500.00 he will completely build my shocks. i am layed off from work right now and don't the extra money to do it all right now so I am getting just the coil overs (springs) for my weight. I also have new in the box rezzies for each shock. So when I get the springs in a two week turn around, i am sponsored by Bairs Polaris dealership, so I know the guy that will build my shocks. The Outlaw's shocks are set up for a 170 pound rider as about all the different quad companies set up most of their quads for that weight. I am getting dual Rates on both rear shocks for 250.00 and triple rate springs for the frot shocks for 270.00 From my experience of racing for the last 7 years, I know it is worth every penny. When I get back to work again, I will send them my shocks and have them build the valves and re-do the shocks completely. The site for this company is Hygearsuspensioncom Call them and ask for Ross, he is the tech guy. You can call them (607)-533-7434 This Ross guy really know how to build you shocks for XC.
