Default ultimate trail machine?

the suspension is good on them i ride on ruff trails sometimes, the only bad thing with the stock suspension is if you are hitting jumps when you land its not to great, for big jumps

I stand corrected then lol I guess Yamaha updated the shocks for the YFZ and the Raptor for 08..To bad they left the rest of their quads hanging[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]I don't know though..Do the New raptors have dual or tripple rate springs??That is what you really want for trail riding..I also can believe the techs around here don't have a clue about the 08's yet lol

thats just my opinion and ill tell anyone when your goin down a rocky trail it feels like your on a utility quad its just that comfortable, but if u want to bitch about the suspension buy new shocks.

stock 2x4 sport atv for riding trails, i would put the z400</end quote></div>





'08 and up YFZ and Raptors come with the Special Edition shocks and they're much better than the original stockers! Raptor is a great trail riding sport bike IMO. The Honda 450r isn't too bad either though...</end quote></div>

Yeah the upgraded shocks for the Raptor are very nice........
