Hello I have a 1994 kawasaki mojave 250 me and my buddy are geting our atvs ready to go trailing this spring and my rear suspension is just to bouncey and i dont like it because i cant carry to much on my homemade rack i almost bottom out bump with me and a 5 gallon gas can so i was wondering if any one knew about any other stiffer shocks i could get for my mojave preferably cheap like $50 or so my friend said about a 300ex shock but i dont know if it will fit so if some has any input it will help thanks

 

i herd a honda 250r shock will work on the mojave and they are good shocks and cheap on ebay to.

 

yea the 250r shocks work but you need to find one that has the no link setup i believe. The link connects the shock and the swingarm which produces a plusher suspension...you need to get the direct shock that bolts to the arm...if someone knows for sure plze comment if im incorrect thanks

i mesuered the shock its around 16 inches from bolt hole to bolt hole

 

you dnt need to worry about the length so much..its more or less the width where it bolts to the arms and the frames...on the 250r shock i think at the bottom you will need spacers on each side of the shock since its not as wide as the stock one.....nt positive. Im only going by what ive read in earlier post on this subject...i rather just buy an aftermarket shock that fits and be dne with it but i know not everyone has deep pockets including me...which sucks of course.

 

well what is the difference in the shocks with and with out the linkage. are they the same length? and does anyone know the year model of the ones without the linkage. i am really going to buy one off ebay asoon as i know what to get because im down to about 400 bucks and i still have to get my mojave out of the shop because im new to working on them and i messed something up and im just going to let them get in right and i bought the shop manual so that wont happen again. so that leaves me $130. so yea lol im broke

 

I bought mine about a month a go and put 200 in to and bought it for 450 its my first time owning an atv there pretty fun i had to rebuild the carb it was so gunked up soaked the jets in fuel injector cleaner and clean the carb with carb n choke cleaner and runs grate now little hard on starting have not figured that out yet had to rebuild the kick starter and repalce some other varius things but other than that only pay 650 fo a half decent atv

 

i would like to get a job for some more money im starting to run low im only 15 so no one will hire me around were i live all i do is cut gass in the summer with my string trimmer i got out the trash that didnt run reed vavles were shot replace with old creit cards and my push mower that i got at a yard sale for 5 bucks and had to replace the motor it was blowen and i snowblow in the winter got that for 100 and had to rebuild the carb and replace gas lines so thats were i get my only money from so yea from the looks of it a guess im a cheap bastered lol

 

hey mojaveman. im 15 as well and i get my money the same way you do i work my *** off mowing grass but luckly my dad has a small lawncare buisness so i get to youse his mowers. do you like you swamp foxes? did they not seem to slow it down when you put them on when it was the stock motor without the 300 kit? and did you put that 300 kit on yourself?

 

no it was a 300 when i bought it and its a 1994 so i dont think the tires are stock um they are called dirt devils
