+3 a-arms on a yfz450

[agp1976]

I put a set of +3 arms on my quad and the a-arms look like they are laying to flat... Can anybody help? Thanks

[motohanks]

do you have the correct length shocks for the new a-arms?

[agp1976]

It said I can use the stock shocks. They are not lt a-arms.

You cannot use stock shocks on extended a-arms. It changes the leverage ratio and makes the shocks very soft.

[agp1976]

So do I get longer shocks or just better ones? LOL

when you get aftermarket shocks they will be built for you, unless you buy used. In that case make sure they are valved for a yfz with +3 arms. If not you can get them revalved by a number of companies.

its not just a revalve you have changed the leverage ratio so now you need heavier springs wat you have done is put more leverage on the springs you have and its making them compress and you need heavier springs to bring your hieght back up and you also need to revalve.
