400ex suspension linkage

[Jrod-04-400ex]

Do you guys recommend buying the rear shock linkage when setting up a quad for mx? What is the best linkage out there?

These are the only two that I know of that are still making them, if there is someone else, Chime in please.

Worth every penny once you have your shock setup correctly.

Thanks.

yea i dont think you'll receive any benefit from it with stock suspension.btw sorry i missed that pm about it.

O ok. Should I just revalve the rear shock and by aftermarket front shock? What do y'all perfer for front shocks?

What's your budget, and what class are you planning on competing in.

There are soo many possibilities, depends how deep your pockets are.

Word of advice, If you plan on getting more competative, splurge once on LT rather than setting yourself up with ST and haveing to sell it all down the road. It will save you money.

If you are just going out to ride with friends on the track, revalves are a good alternative.

Cheap- GTT link single rate rear
Dual rate fronts

Keep you're eyes peeled for a deal on here..

Thanks. I'm only goin to ride mostly with my friends on the track. Not really goin to get into racing. And im a 16 year old so I don't have much money because of gas and everything but I'm trying to save up to put parts on my 400ex

I spent all last year on rebuilds/GTT link on my 450.. I wouldn't hesitate to go that route if I were you..
