Does anyone know what other kind of OEM shocks will fit on the my 2000 Yamaha Blaster (such as banshee, warrior, 400ex, etc.) and how much they improve? ThAnX!!!!

 

the banshee and warrior front shocks will fit on the Blaster. I am not sure about the warrior but the banshee rears are linkage so they wont work on the Blaster. Though the fronts bolt right up I have heard they make it ride way to stif and isnt comfortable to ride. But you could always try if you can get them for cheap and if you dont like them just switch back.

 

Any way you could make them less stiff? i think they are adjustable but not sure...i think they have reserviors and more travel, but i guess it would help if they were too stiff even set all the way down....i heard somewhere that 400ex shocks would fit? well thanx for the advice! ttyl cya!

 

you'd have to be on crack to put 400ex shocks on a blaster, the 400ex weighs alot more, so it's going to be stiffer, and your clearance will go up, but it wont handle worth a $hit.

 

I have banshee fronts on mine. A banshee rear fits perfectly, but it lowers it about 2". I am going to put a 250r trike rear on mine, it fits the swingarm fine, but the top is a little too wide(not so much an angle grinder can't take care of [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img])

LT250R shocks bolt right up(front and rear)



<< i think they have reserviors and more travel >>


they don't have reseviors, but they are 1/2&quot; longer(banshee fronts)and you can only adjust preload.

 

See what i was thinking about is taking the front shocks off of my banshee and putting them on the blaster and then getting some works shocks for the banshee. hey dirt, where the banshee shocks on your blaster too hard?

I have them set on the softest pre-load setting and they are still a bit stiffer, but not much. I ride a lot of whoops and it helps me a bit to have stiffer springs. I guess its just way I ride.
