Dang 250ex suspension, what fits?

[02silverpile]

Ok, im sure this has been cover a little. My GF's 250 bucks horrible. She "says" the front suspension is "ok" but the rear is like riding a rodeo bull. Since then I have installed a 400ex front shock in the rear. It helped a little, but she doesnt weigh enough, and the 400's cant be revalved to slow the rebound. Its kinda like a pogo stick. With going to the 400 shock it aloud be some adjustment, but not the type i think i need. My question is what option do I have. Do I need to do the rear and front shocks in order to get the best outcome? I know works makes shock but are ungodly expensive, and im trying to get her to to be a better rider so she can move up. I think I heard that 300ex shocks fit. But what do they fit? Do the fronts of the 300 fir the fronts on the 250EX. Also I heard a 2001 raptor rear shock fits the rear of a 250, and those are re sprng able and can be revalved. Also it sucks that the a-arms and swing arm are so short and narrow. Would it help it I got offset rims to try and widen the quad out alittle? Sorry for all the ?'s.I just need to get her a better ride so she enjoys this sport a little more.

ok if u r gunna go spend the money get elka second the pob with 4 hudred shox r that they r made for a very heavy quad i would go all the way aroung elka rec series or just up front should be fine 650 for fron and 850 for rear but u might wanna do just front and put the stock shock in the rear

yea but then shes still got the prob of the compression being too high

A 300ex rear shock will fit the back of the 250 I believe, so that means an '01 raptor shock will. I have also heard of people putting front banshee shocks on the back, that is supposed to really soften it up.

alright r talikn warrior raptor or 660 raptor and the 250 and 300 shocks r the same i dont think theres a difference pleeze correct me if im wrong cuz im lookin 4 a rear shock

thanks guys. mhsc I appreciate the input, however she is slowly growing out of the "autoclutch" she has been playing around an a friends stock 400ex. so I dont wanna put $1300 into shocks for her to ride a year or so more. And I dont think i would get my money out of it when i go to sell it. I can deal with a few hundred, but not a thousand.

yea i just thin a bamshee front or 300ex rear but nothin bigger cuz its gunna be stiff

[BlasterEaten250]

The one I'm talking about is an '01 raptor 660 rear shock. It fits a 300ex, and a 300ex fits the 250ex, so im gueesing the raptor shock will fit the 250ex
