it all depends on what you want there are all kinds of lowering kits um about 35 to 100 on the back it depends on brand you get and around 40 to 100 on the fronts depending on brand and there all easy to instal.

There a few things i want it for, i want to be a little bit lower to the ground, i don't like being up so high. i road my friends and he has his lowered and i felt more in control. then i am also racing flat track and TT tracks next summer. i did a little bit this past summer but like i said i hate being so high up.

ebay has some good deals sometimes but i would just go to your yamaha shop and order them. the main place i race is ada oklahoma im trying to win the points there in the novice class. there will be a race at ardmore sometime and there is going to be one in lawton in feb i think. if you go to yamaha and order on you can get what you want

Okay i will do some checking with some places. my brother goes up to Holton kansas to a guy when he gets his quad worked on. I just sent my motor out today to get rebuilt and to get some work done to it. it is going to cost me a little over 2 grand when it is all said and done with.

invest in a G-force axel and go full +4 you will love it, makes it very hard to tip. Perfect for your riding style.

They list for $199.00 at www.rockymountainatv.com you may find you dont need to lower it after an axel. I do desert racing and we need all the suspension travel we can get, but for very high speed corners an axel keeps the wheels on the ground. It makes a huge difference.
