After my last trip to the dunes I think that I am going to have to beef up the suspension on my KFX. I was bottoming out a lot in the front. Any tips on what my best choice might be without spending a fortune. Axis, ELka, WOrks, Ohlin etc.....

 

Thanks for the info...

 

What are your shocks set at ??? How much do you weigh ???

 

Just added Elka’s new strut kit and rear shock to my Prairie 700, and like the V-Force when I added Elka’s shocks, it brought the performance level of the quad up several steps. It handles like a dream and allows you to ride the trails harder and faster with unbelievable control. All I need now is a steering stabilizer and I’ll have the best handling utility on the planet! Oh ya, Diamond G Racing’s CDI module and snorkel provides awesome, controllable power to my Maxxis All Trak tires mounted on 12” OMF bead locks. Next, an HMF Quite Core Exhaust and a set of PIAA auxiliary lights for night riding.

 

I cant decide if I want to go full new suspension on the front with A arms and everything else or just add shocks? After riding my buddy's new 450 I feel like my bike is going to tip over. Only problem with Full suspension is once again mega Bucks. It sounds like just adding shocks makes a huge difference

 

generallee, no matter what you do one of the most critical changes you can make is to call Penland Brothers Racing and have Mike send you a set of sprint car tie rods cut to fit the V-Force. If you don't do with the new suspension you'll be bending tie rods left and right because the suspension will allow you to rider faster and more aggressively making the OEM tie rods the weakest link. I think the two tier rods cost me under $70 so when you spent $2,000 on a suspension why not spend an extra $70 and eliminate the weak link. I went with the Elka shocks and it rode like a dream. Doug Roll is working on new A-arms and if you eventually add them you can buy the items you need from Elka so the shocks adapt to the longer A-arms but personally I don't think you need new A-arms. I added the Hyper Tech carbon fiber wheel, Honda spindle on the rear with Hi-lifter aluminum spacers and then put Maxxis Razer ties on and it felt extremely stable.
