Anyone with suspension other than stock? Had mine three months and I love the stock suspension for trail riding. But its no good on the track. I was thinking about Works. Cheaper, you know. Even though, would still shell out the bones for TCS or PEP. What suspension do you have and how does it handle the track/woods?

Quadracer- I have tcs zero pre load fronts. I was not to impressed at first. A lot of $$$$. After i got them dialed in right, i would never ride with the factory shocks again.

I have Works pro series Triple rate piggy back shocks. I like them just as good as the TCS my buddy has on his quad. The have sag adjust and work realy nice. They are cheaper than TCS or any other. I payed $700 for mine. The TCS i was looking at were $950. They ride smooth and and dont bottom out. I can take a pretty big flat jump (5-7ft high)and they feel like landing on pillows. Now i just have to order the rear shock to match.

Guardog, Work that OT because it sounds like a good investment. I'm done modding my machine until Honda comes out withsomething better or maybe next year for the Speed!!! Got to convince the old lady though

way to many people in here overlook there suspension for more power
great suspension can make a good rider an even better rider
you wont regret upgrading your boingers
i have tcs triple rates with full adjustability up front and a tcs revalve
on the rear.
the ability to raise or lower your quads ride height is a huge plus ,especially
on the raptor
tcs,custom axis,elka,works stadium series,pep
enjoy.......

just about any stock motor will push the limits of their suspension....aftermarket suspension has always been one of my top 5 "mods"
