I have a 2006 raptor 700r and i recently purchased a 2006 yfz450, from reading some forums on this website i am learning that the yfz handles better and the 700 has more power if thats the case why couldnt i just take all of the suspension parts from the yfz450 and install them on my 700r and the remaing parts from my 700r i can install into my 2005 raptor 350 just looking for some info if anyone can help thats awsome thanx justin

 

i just want to say this..
just because you put yfz450 shocks on a 700r doesn't me the 700r will handle like a 450

 

+1, a raptor wont every handle like a 450. If you do want to do the conversion anyway it could be helpful.

 

YFZ front shocks will improve the Raptor's handling, the rear will not fit.

 

So let me get this straight, your gonna tear apart your 06 YFZ to upgrade the suspension on your 700r put the remainder of the parts off your 700r on your Raptor 350 and tear apart a new YFZ in the process? It would be cheaper/better to get some after market shocks for your 700r or just get some pull off shocks from a YFZ on ebay.

 

the 06 yfz i purchased is only the suspension it would cost more to get a wire harness and engine to make it a yfz so i figured i could use the parts somewhere instead of just waisting them thats why i am asking

 

On my 03 Raptor 660, the 04 yfz front shocks made a HUGE difference for trail riding. They ran alot softer than on the yfz and lowered the raptor a bit. Way softer than the stock rappy shocks without bottoming out on trails.

For jumping? I dunno. I never felt comfortable jumping the raptor more than 4-6 feet high. The yfz so far has landed like a down pillow at any hight I've tried.....
