I replaced my stock shocks with a pair of 2006 YZF450 front shocks on my 700R. Could someone please tell me what the Nitrogen pressure should be? My Quad sits considerably lower then it did with the stock fronts shocks. It could be that my engine is angled slightly more forward then the 450 and I need to compensate with the preload. I am not sure but it would be nice to know at what psi the shocks should be serviced to. Thanks for your time.

 

Well which quad did you put them on the raptor 700 if so then the shocks may be a different length as they are for the yfz450 and has a different stance then the raptor so it could just be the shock compare the 2 and see the difference.

 

bombrider04, good point. I installed them on my 700. Thanks.

 

Yep no prob

 

I talk to a guy at my local Yam dealer today and he told me the 2006 YZF450 Front Shocks Nitrogen charge is 142 psi.

 

I thought that they would set lower bc of the shock style....could have sworn i saw that somewhere before.

 

It could be. The Service guy could have been BS'ing me or could have misunderstood me. Thanks for replying Hornet. Nice Pictures YFZ450Hornet.
