Yeah! that's the one! Thanks!
Are both of those companies Japanese? Where they making those shocks?
Hey Ridley, is the YFZ shock the same length as the Raptor shock? How would the valving be? I have a use for some YFZ shocks since they can be had pretty darn cheap from the guys that strip 'em. Whatcha think?

I'm actually lookin for somethin to put on my Wolverine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Don't have the cash at this very moment cause I got a 220 dollar speeding ticket to pay LOL but I will have to see if anyone else does it and how it works. I was hoping that they were valved stiff cause the Wolv front end will weight quite a bit more.... But I imagine the valving would help me not bottom so bad on the small jumps that it sees all the time!

Battery...some people had this problem. Bad lot of parts they claimed. Supposedly fixed
Lower a arms breaking? Not too many, although there have been some. Not very common
Head overheating?? LOL, I haven't heard that one really. Could be anything, and definetely is not a COMMON problem.
The biggest problem I've seen is people doing mods to these engines and not jetting properly and destroying the motors. These quads are a bit lean from the factory, and WILL NOT handle changes like slip ons, and aibox mods without rejetting.

I don't think anyone answered your question, but no, Elka doesn't make the stock YFZ shocks. They are.... Kayaba? Something like that. I believe it is a Japanese shock company. Also guys, are the TRX shocks made by the same company too? I think they might be... I need to get my Elkas onto my bike... oh wait... I need LT arms for that... oh wait... that means I need a grand... oh wait I don't have a grand [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
