ok i race flattrack and i have the warrior frame slamed on the ground its about 2 inch from ground in back and about 4 inch from ground in front. What im trying to do is like when im comeing out of the corners it i cant hold the front end on the ground the front tires ride about 3 inches off the ground for about 10 feet. I dont want to loose my rear wheel hookup, But i want my front tires to stay on the track so i can have some control with out letting of the gas. So i was thinking if the yfz shocks are longer and softer i can get the what i need without raiseing the front end up.

three things,Doyle...Cant help with TT racing..Maddog might...I cant....YFZ shocks are LONGER tahn warrior shocks....so i dont see how with out modifcation to where the shocks bolts up you could make the front lowere than what it is.

YFZ shocks are only minmally softer than stock Warrior shocks....waste of money for your application..sounds to me.

It's called a sway bar. Anyone racing flattrack or tt without one is just playing.

I was just trying to make the front end have little more travel and a little softer without spending a whole lots of money on a whole new setup.

Well I didnt see one in your mod list, so unless you omitted it my statement stands. Are you talking about a whole new suspension setup, or just the addition of a sway bar? If you're going to run tt and want the shocks for it you want something with a shorter shock body, not a longer one. Then have it valved for your application. The yfz shocks also do not work with durablue's yamaha front lowering kits, the shock body hits the bracket before it can rest so you end up bending the shocks if you run it.
