About 6 or 7 feet of air and about 35 feet of distance nothing broke yet. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

...ive cracked the airbox on a rough landing... i have no idea how big thios one jump i made at this sand pit was but it was pretty big, it had like a 7 foot gap and i would over shoot the landing ramp i made for it by a whiles...yeah cracked the airbox...

 

My height & distances are about the same as the other posts on here. I think the farthest I've jumped is about 30' but landed on the down slope. I do have Work's air adjustable struts w/ Polaris heavy duty spring plus had PEP rbuild the rear shock to my exact weight, jumping etc, & took off 55lbs from the machine. There's some pics in my gallery of a few action shots. Nothing's ever broken, bent etc.

Hey Jim, nice bike!! Every have a problem w/your wheel spacers? How thick are they? I was thinking of getting them but was afraid of breaking studs if I come down on one tire.

 

do not preload the rear suspension to much!!! learned the hard way today

 

Jayblazer,
I know, kind of a wierd step, but yes, I'm going to be racing the P700. The YFZ is for sale. I keep having top end problems with it and can't afford it anymore...besides, it keeps letting me down, it's only let me finish 1 race all season...my pride is shot to hell!!!

 

time for a predator

 

Paulzaho, hey thanks. I had the rear std spacer machined down to match the front spacer width so I was the same width front & back. I think I'm like 48.75" wide front & back, I think, I don't remember exactly. I worried about the same thing but after 4 years of jumping at all the local MX tracks (only for practice no race) I haven't bent or broke anything & believe me I have landed on the rear wheel very twisted & croocked MANY times. I hjave video of me landing really crooked. My rear axles bearing did go out last year but not sure if it's from the extra leverage from the axle or not but then again it 6 years old. Not other problem w/ it in 6 years, very dependable, fast machine. By the way this aftermarket suspension is like riding on a cloud, very nice ride now.
