I rode my new Brute Monday and the front bottoms out way too much. My brother has a King Quad and his are bad too. The more we ride, the worse they get. He says the Yamaha YFZ 450 fronts are a direct bolt on for his. Does anyone else have this problem? I wonder what kind of upgrade is possible for mine, except for the $500 Elka's! Any help?

 

Everyone I know that has put on the Elkas hasn't regretted it. Turns the BF into what it should have been from the factory. I would just go ahead and get the Elkas now and dump the stock suspension. You won't regret it. It will be the single best upgrade you will do to that machine according to everyone I know who had a BF. From before and after rides I'd say I agree with them.

 

Thanks, I have alot of homework to do. I see different levels of suspension. Now I need to figure out what level of quality I should get!

 

Did you crank your front springs up? I weight almost 400lbs and my front end doesn't generally bottom out....Mines three years old and I don't think I've even got my fronts cranked all the way up.
You know you can adjust them right?

 

Yeah, I got them up. I could go up 1 more, but I doubt that would make much difference. I will crank it up until I get something else anyway! I am 300 lbs. You really don't bottom out? Man, I can feel hard impacts, especially after the shock oil heats up.
