[honda01400ex]

if you have these shocks tell me your honest opinion about them

how they ride?
do you bottom out alot??
how do they feel?

all around opinion over the stock shocks

also i ride mx so i need somes advice who uses them for mx riding

[honda400ex2003]

i think bkelley has some and has posted pics of them if you want to search for them in the mean time. lol. steve

[honda01400ex]

lol bkelly has the kfx shocks

[honda400ex2003]

alright i retract my last statement then. you still have to grind the tops just like b did on his kfx ones. they lower the ride height an inch or so from what i have heard and they are softer than the 450r shocks but are still nice for trail riding and such once setup with stock arms. the 450r ones work better with +2s but i like mine on my stock arms. steve

[honda01400ex]

yea i read a rite up a guy on here did and he said with stock a-arms the yfz shocks are great for mx but if you get +2 a-arms you have to revalve them

from factory yamaha they are valved for +2 a-arms but on our 400ex while being paired with stock a-amrs they are suppose to be really good

[honda400ex2003]

order them up and get a grinder. you will be all set then and you can test them out. lol. steve
