Raptor shocks are about 15.5 inches eye to eye. Yfz shocks are about 16 or 16.25 Warrior shocks are 13 or 14. You are going to have height issues with the raptor shocks, and even more with the yfz shocks. They extra weight of the raptor and the adjustable preload allow the yfz stockers to slightly lower the raptor. I suppose its possible to put the yfz stockers on a warrior, but you are really pushing it.

 

I have them on mine but I have yet to ride it since then. I just got my new tie rods installed tonight. I will be looking forward to trying them out this weekend. It took a little grinding on the upper mount and slight grinding on the bottom of the shock. It took longer to change out my tie rods.

 

Changing out your tie rods? What do those do? Do they have to be replaced? What does it take to do that?

 

err, i was hoping it would be a good alternative to spending big bucks on works shocks or something of the equivalent quality, i dont exactly have the money for new aftermarket shocks, escpecially if i purchase the alba motor kit for my warrior...

Wow, slow it down man.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

The stock tie rods are pretty weak and bend easily. They dont have to be replaced but you will probably want to buy a new set after you bend the originals back a few times.

As far as install its very easy. Just screw the old ones off and screw the new ones in to the same point.

 

Are those just the rods that you install the shock to? I didn't know it was that easy. Where can you get them, at the dealer you think?

 

The tie rods connect the steering stem and yoke to the front wheel hubs, they have nothing to do with the shocks.

You can get replacement stock tie rods from a dealer, but some may carry aftermarket. If you are going to buy new ones get aftermarket.

 

He didn't change them due to the shock install. He bent one last week during our ride. He just ordered a whole new set instead of replacing with a stock one. Money well spent IMO.

Buck

 

Ok, I looked them up, I know exactly what you are talking about now, thanks.

 

If anyones interested I'm going to sell my stock 05' YFZ shocks on EBAY(the fronts are still in the box) were never on the bike because I got it straight from the crate.The rear shock is new also.I also have the A-arms too..........
