Yes, some people are still trying to upgrade Warriors! I didn't find much searching, so do any of these shocks fit the Warrior without any work? I think all the fronts will, and the Raptor and Banshee rear will. Is that correct, or not? I know it'll give more suspension travel. Will it change the stiffness? My preload is set high, but it seems the rear suspension is still a little soft for me. I rode a Predator and could clear a table top jump much easier (not because of speed) but because its suspension allowed me to get higher off the jump. Does this make sense? I'm just curious if there's an easier/cheaper route to temporarily upgrading the shocks. I don't race, and might hit a max of 6ft high, 20ft long table top jumps. I thought maybe YF-Z front and Raptor rear would help a bit. Any suggestions? Thanks.

 

Those shocks are all too long for the warrior in the front, they can be done but the shocks have to be compressed a little to fit, it raises the front end up and puts alot of stress on the balljoints. for example the yfz shock is 2 inches longer the the warrior,m this is off another forum:
warrior shocks are 14"
banshee shocks are 16"
raptor shocks are 16"
YFZ shocks are think 19" or 18"

Im not sure how correct that is but it gives you an idea. You can squeeze a shock in there but it will limit your wheel travel.

 

ive seen lots of warriors with raptor shocks. talk to speedy2222 he did it. idk about yfz's but i dont see y not. just set them as soft as you can, the longer lenght will make them stiffer. but thats just my opinion. i could be rong.

 

where do you guys get shocks off of another bike? do you get them from stolen bikes? just wondering how people say they put YFZ shocks on a raptor , how is it done?

 

1 word, ebay.

 

Bad4Warrior (name again?) Has YFZ shocks on his warrior, you should PM about them...

 

i put 450 fronts on my rap check out my pics #3 #4
ive upgraded recent and my bud now has them on his warrior. had to
compress them a lil but they work great. he also has my stock rap rear shock
on warrior same install as fronts

 

yup. you can get ANYTHING off ebay. you could build a hole bike off of ebay. anything you could ever imagin is on there..... i saw a kidny for sale one time. no lie

 

check my gallery... they work great.. all i need to do now is get an 01 rear and im set.. cuz right now it's @$$ heavy in the air.. but right hwne i put them on i noticed an INSTANT diference.. first it doesn't let the bakcend break away as easily as with the stockers it .. well hodl that thoguht let me get some pics... stock quad vs m,y qaud with shocks give me 10

 

ok NEWAYS back to where i was.. here's some pics to give u an idea the dif from stock - raptor btw srry for sh!tty quality.. CHECK THIS OUT!!
