Depending on how you plan on riding the quad (MXing or Trail riding) there are diff type of setup specic to thoes riding conditions. If MX yes the Longer,lower suspension will help. For Trail riding you want a tall and sof to soak up the varrid terrain that the trail dishes out! Both the 700 and the YFZ450 use the same geometry (setup) so finding diff setups is quite easy to figure out!
