I also posted this on another site, I would like a few more opinions, didn't really get a direct answer.
Hi, I have a couple questions to ask here.
I just recently purchased a 450r, and my buddy has a YFZ450. I noticed it seemed his shocks had a lot more travel, and seemed to be alot softer than my 450r's. The biggest notice is when he is front braking hard, the a-arms are completely horizontal. Whereas my 450r shocks hardly even come close to that. I've rode his bike quite a few times and love the way it handles and feels with the soft ride.
His shocks are competely stock according to the guy he got the bike from. The a-arms look really wide also compared to my 450r's. I hate how my 450r looks like a monster truck. I have the shocks set to the softest they will go. What can I do to get that soft ride. I mostly ride mx, with an occasional trail riding.
Does anybody have an explanation for this? Is it just the difference in bikes even though they are both stock or what?
Thanks to anyone who may answer this.
