400ex mod piece by piece

[wheeler0801]

congrats on getting all the mods....and even bigger congrats on scoring that sick deal on the elkas we've gotten a few really good deals on ebay.....like a nearly brand new rekluse for $230.00

alwayssssss look for the wrong spelling of things too, we've scored some sweet deals that way too

[Sc0tt]

You quad is definitely coming along!!!

[mellowyellow]

Don't forget when you get that exhaust to put a hi flow air filter on it and re-jet. You'll notice a big difference in throttle response.

[powermaddd400ex]

thanks scott!

yea ill be gettin a UNI filter and ill jet accordingly.

my razrs came in today and we got em mounted. all i can say is WOW. it feels good to have traction again

my elkas will be here next friday at the latest. so im hella excited haha

[SunLrider]

[powermaddd400ex]

I put em on the bike and man its like riding on a pillow!!! its so smooth and it made the quad a tad bit wider. it came with everything and even some stickers (i like stickers )

[powermaddd400ex]

lemme wat yall think

[Stoopidbot1]

Looks great, how do the shocks feel?

[powermaddd400ex]

its great! when your riding slow and and cruising its very plush and soaks bumps and holes very well, but when i went of my homemade jump that i usually bottom out on they didnt come close to bottoming out.

ill put them to the true test this weekend tho

[Stoopidbot1]

Right on, congrats on the upgrade.

[trailblazer_02]

dang!

thats sweet!

im hoping to come across some fox shocks for mine..

i seen a rear on ebay for 70$..

diddnt have the cash =[

[powermaddd400ex]

there are alot of deals out there jus keep your eyes open and dont be to hasty.

the front shocks are always the ones that suck the worst. you can send your rear shock to C&D racing or GTT and they will make it as good as a aftermarket one like elka. but alot cheaper

i kno i will never ride on stock shocks again!

u honestly noitced that big of a difference??

[powermaddd400ex]

HELL YES!

if you have only ridden stock shocks you might think im outta my loop but if youve ever ridden a quad with aftermarket suspension you will kno wat im talkin about.

the triple rate springs are wat make that much of a difference.

[SunLrider]

what is triple rate?

[powermaddd400ex]

triple rate means the shock uses 3 sets of springs.

heres an example, not my shocks but you get the idea

see the big spring on the bottom, then the middle size spring in the middle, then the smaller spring on top. this builds resistants against harsh landing while still giving you a comfortable ride when cruising.

[powermaddd400ex]

so i just got off the phone with riley from Ishock, i just bought the i3500 +2 A-arms kit for 223 shipped! Im so freakin STOKED to install them!

[Stoopidbot1]

nice! are they dual or triples?

[Stoopidbot1]

Dual, I believe. That plus a stabilizer up front I'm gonna be loving it.

[powermaddd400ex]

wow your gunna be ridin like a cadilac lmao

yea i dont kno what im going to buy now, im getting really tired of bumpsteer and bar jerk, so i want a stablizer. but i still dont have an exhaust, and my rear shock is bucking like a freaking bronco.

so its bewteen

1) stablizer

2) exhaust

3) rebuilt rear shock

[wheeler0801]

it'll be like ridin' a cady

or a couch bahhahahaah

i can't say anything, i love riding, its soo much nicer now that I have the front shocks done.

and power, you will LOVE racing, once it's in your blood you're not going to want to stop and the SORCS series seems great for you...and it's all pretty much in Georgia...I hope you get to go!!!!

Look into a rear linkage from GT Thunder. Under 200 bucks and makes a night and day difference on you stock rear shock. Then when you upgrade to an aftermarket rear shock you already have the rear linkage.

[powermaddd400ex]

bot: the rear link cuts down on the bucking?

hmm might have to look into that

thanks wheeler, most of the races are within an hour or two from my house, so thats a big plus!
