I was wondering if on most tracks you have your compression and rebound set close to or all the way soft or close to or all the way firm. I have a 400ex w/ a stock rear shock. There aren't any real big jumps, just average sized. I want the plushest setting possible without bottoming off every jump. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

On a 400 ex stock rear shock I believe the only adjustment is for pre-load. I'm not sure but I think the same is true for the stock fronts also. As to pre load, it depends some what on your weight, style, and terrain. Since it is a fairly easy adjustment to make your best bet is to try various settings on the particular terrain in question.
Strangely enough, your Warrior does have rebound adjustment on it's rear shock. I run mine at ten clicks from soft with the TCS shocks in front and it's definitely not an old man's Warrior

 

Nope, the EX has a fully adjustable rear shock. The fronts are preload only.

You are just going to have to try a few different settings, there's just way too many factors for someone on the internet to tell you how to set it up...

 

does it have a reservoir?

 

Yes, the rear has an attached reservoir like a lot of the modern dirtbikes.

 

well that's pretty cool.

 

I'm looking for front shocks on my warrior. How long have you had the TCS shocks and what are they on? I just put a Works Ultracross on the back and works great, but I'm not sure if I want them for the front.

 

I have TCS on the front of my 400EX. They are a vast improvement over stock. They seem to have very progressive valving, lower as well as adjustible ride height, smoother ride (especially over 45deg cross bumps), and very good resistance to bottoming. They make the very good rear shock of the 400EX seem not so good anymore (so now I have to spend even more money ).

They are custom built to your style, skill, and weight, use Works bodies, they are hard anodized, have adjustible compression reservoirs, use better shim stack valving, are a dual spring "no preload" design, and supposedly don't suffer from the same problem Works does with their bushings.

Some people have said they are comparable to the high dollar custom Axis shocks.

I have had mine now for almost 2 weeks, very happy with them so far.
