What suspension setup would you recommend for long hours and fast trail riding. The stock suspension seems too unresponsive to be that hard of a ride.

Replace the factory shocks or just get new ones. Not looking to spend 500 per shock nor will I ever run GNCC or MX

Bolt on setup? Do you know what difference it made?

Is it more adjustabilty?

I think the R shock is 1/2" longer than the ex :biggrin: But as he put it the ex shock was like riding a broom stick :no: the R shock is a huge improvement :yes: and any 2nd grader could install it !

Ive read quite a few posts about the rear stock shock being harsh. Most replies were to get aftermarket abc or xyz brands.

What year 450? Did he use all three shocks?

No just the fronts ! The rear shock is pretty soft to begin with !! YZF shocks are supposed to be pretty sweet ! :yes:

I meant the 400ex shock is a little harsh.

What year 450r should I use? Did all years use the same shocks?

      Trail Food safety
      By jen
      Wow...I packed a small soft side cooler with an ice pack  at -4 F and inserted my Type K thermocouple sensor inside so I could monitor the temperature without opening.  After 3 hours  the inside temperature was 60  F...OMG!   The ice pack  was solid frozen.   Standard temperature for safe storage is < 40 F.     What I found by asking was that there should be no air space in the cooler.  Packed with Ice preferably ice from connivence store (normally 0 F of less).  Food should take up  short day trip1:1 ratio.
      Good coolers are expensive.

      NSFW / Looking for fun ideas for our 2nd Quad Runners event at our nudist campground
      By mehim
      Hi everyone and thanks for reading. 
      My husband and me are getting ready to host the 2nd Quad Runners event at our nudist campground. The first one (last year) went pretty well with about 20 quads attending and have to say, it was a smaller group, but they made up for their size with the large interest in partying and there was plenty of nudity as the Saturday night went on. 
      We have decided to host another one this summer, but we are looking for some fun (but safe) riding events. Our grounds are almost all flat and remember we are a nudist campground so many of us are bare as* naked so "slow ride" events would be the best. 
      Give us your thoughts and ideas and feel free to ask us anything you would like, and we will answer right here in the thread. 
      Thanks for your help and ride safe. 
      BTW, let us know what "anything goes" means for this thread section.

      Looking for Quadrunner Flywheel Starter Clutch Gear race diameter
      By logray
      Hi all, 

      I am wondering if any of you have a Clutch Starter gear from a 1988 era quadrunner 250 sitting around that you could get me a precise measurement of the outer diameter of the race the sprag engages onto, for me? I need to machine a damaged race down and install a hardened sleeve and need that measurement (it's on a different gear than the OEM one, so I can't buy and use a OEM gear).

      MY OTHER RIDE !!!!
      By oztrax
      was thinking most of us on this forum would have another ride, so to get the ball rolling...........
      MY MAX 4 6X6 2009, now this will actually go anywhere including across the water. In the 3rd photo I had gone up the river about 30 meters then climbed up the bank, 6X6 owners call it "swimming"
