how bad is it to have the rear end up that high? if its from a dirtbike it should be set up for less weight than your gonna be puttin on it, so i would think that it would ride soft but still have good travel. did you ride it like that or just sit on it?
even with me sittin on it it still sat to high and felt unstable,i adjusted it down and it still felt unstable
i rode it around my yard and driveway, across the street, jumped a driveway and it still felt uncomfortable to me
it wanted to wheelie any time you hit the gas, and when you stop the front end would nose down HARD!! like almost hittin my front bumper on the ground
wow thats pretty sketchy sounding, can it be revalved to be stiffer? or would that even be worth doing?
yes i know how the operate the shock, i did move them up and it still sat to high for my liking
it had the raise/lower plates, the setting on the rezzie, and a tension adjustment...

not sure.. there is a adjustment screw towords the lower end of the shock that says tension, and soft on one side and hard on the other
yeah to much trouble, the shock body is just to long, if you had a shock linkege from a shee it would probly work
It looks as if on the bottom bracket you could cut at leas 2 inches off and drill a new hole...That would lower it some...Everybody that has a YFZ rear did that to remove a few inches from the ride height.
yeah, i thought about that, would almost be eazyer and less time consumoing to fab up a bracket to drop the lower shock mount down in front of where it mounts now, or closer to the carrier
