I Have a slight problem Every where i go shops, friends, there 400's sit so much lower then mine..:confused: they have stock shocks and every thing else as me.. I was getting +2 a-arms with works shocks (low on cash) or Used elka's or something but i was wonder how could i just lower the qaud for now.. I Dont know how..I"m getting a good bit for my 400 in a year or to.. i was thinking about keeping my back rims now (stock) and putting terf tamers on there but what size could i go i want 18's but i dont know if they will fit with the stock 400 back rim.. I was going to keep my rear shock.. and getting a-arms and shocks and that.. But if you could tell me how i could fix this with out buying anything... I dont know if you can or not Im just asking... Thanks a lot guys..

Is it the front or the rear sitting high, the only hieght adjustment on the 400ex is the preload setting on the shocks. On the front u cant do much , bu on the back u can make it sit over an inch lower.

Mine is the same way. The rear shock is much firmer then others too. I have preload backed off all the way, softest compression and slowest rebound:confused:
