my 400ex(1999) has blown both front stock shocks. I now have works, was wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

 

I never blew the shocks. But I broke the a-arm lets' the bottom shock mount off. Needless to say I now have +2 a-arms and tcs shocks that will arrive tomorrow

 

Mine weren't leaking oil yet but compared to a new machine they were junk, so I got Works. but mine is just over 2 years old now, and I'm a little heavy for the way I ride.

 

hmmm..... i weigh 170, and i jump pretty high on stock suspension... what do you think my jumping limits should be?? like in feet??

 

13 ft up if you have a downside to land on. If you land on flat, you will probably start to bottom out around the 5-7 ft mark.

 

i would want a landing ramp also flat landings are ALOT HARDER

 

yeah 13 is around what i get with a landing, but i don't bottom out, and i do bottom out at 6 feet on flat..

I just didn't want to break my shocks..

 

Take it from experence... loss those shocks if you do anything more then rec riding.. I cased it on a 40 ft double, shocks bottomed, casing the force of the landing into my right wrist.. dislocated 3 bones...
