2 days ago i was hitting a freestyle double me and my friend built out of wood with a dirt landing and i was hitting it in front of 2 of my friends and my dad and one time i didnt have enough speed and the front end was pitched down and i cased the face of the landing about 5 inches below the downside. thank god honda put those shocks on the front or i would prolly be in the hospital right now. the shocks soaked up the 5 inches of imperfection and i didnt even know i hit it as bad as i did. One of my friends turned pale white when he saw it happen and my dad was really freaked out. I really appreciate the time and effort honda put to choosing their shocks or i could have broken my neck, like i said, thank you honda.

 

arent hondas supposed to have bad suspension too. ur luckey man, good luck

 

amen. I know exactly what you mean. I hit a jump with mine and thought I was a gonna eat some dirt one day but somehow the landing was saved.

 

Man i was amazed how good it soaked up the impact. This is a fairly steep incline i cased and after looking at it i was so surprised i didnt wreck, glad your back at atvconnection more twentycharecters. The hondas suspension is VERY good, it grabs all the harshe impacts on the mx track, and soaks up anything i case (so far). Ever since ive owned this thing, ive gone bigger than i have on any other quad ive owned, and ive had this thing since march 11th.

 

Great to hear you're ok! You should see what riding on an aftermarket set of Elkas is like!

 

thanks. and you bet id like to be running a set of elkas or PEPs on this thing, man id be stylin then, lol

 

sounds like nothing like a-arms bent either, i've been seeing other quads bend stuff from hard hits, worse yet other just snap. seen a few just break.

 

Im lucky, after i did it, i checked my a-arms and nothing was bent, it was all in good shape, i need to save my money up some day and get a stronger pair of a-arms, maybe +2, and ill be set.

 

After owning a 2000 Scrambler 400 and my 2004 TRX450R I can tell you there is no comparrison between them. The Honda is 10x better but that's the way it should be.
