hey just got some +2 a arms off ebay and love them now i need new shocks! can i put yfz450 shocks on them and if so how would you shortnen them because i know that an inch to long from measuring anu other good stock shocks that would fit?

 

[elwood]

with +2 ars and full fight they both you can run stock shocks. If you talk to 87warrior917 he has +2 with yfz450 shocks, he bought an adapter

 

[87warrior917]

Yep i run the diamond j customs shock conversion kit. It relocates the top mounts so they will fit. I run yfz 450x shocks and they are super plush.

I am actually gonna custom make top adjustable mounts welded to the frame here soon.

hey can you post pictures of the a arms with the kit and shock i would really like to see it.

 

[87warrior917]

Yep here is some pics of it.

They also fit without the kit but it was a bitch to get them compressed and bolted up....

The best way to get it to last is to powder coat. Anything shy of that won't last very long.

I only used green safety paint from the hardware store. But i did degrease it good, sanded it, primed it, painted it white then the green. I put white under it so it would pop more. I plan on getting it pc'd in the future but got to lazy and didnt want to wait o n it

Just a quick question about a new rear shock for an 02 warrior. All that i have on now is a stock would like some more travel. Thanks!

 

[jgray44]

Use an 01 rappy shock

 

[87warrior917]

Use an 01 rappy shock

^ what he said. Or you could get any year banshee rear shock, but you will have to mod the airbox a bit to clear for the resivior

Thanks for the help. Also what are the benefits to running a +2 or more A arm?

So i have an 02 Warrior and i can keep up with pretty much anybody in the trails with the few mods that i have done but when we hit a straight strech i'm toast what can i do to keep up with say a LTZ 400 with pipe and air filter?
Thanks

The 446 is just a big bore kit or what? Would that make the engine less reliable?

 

[Warriorowner02]

I see the link now thanks! you dont think that the 366 kit would do the trick? With the 466 kit what else would i have to do upgrade wise to the machine?
Thanks for the help.

 

[87warrior917]

Most of the guys i have seen with the 446 kit didnt use there warrior all the time like for trails and such. My warrior will stay right with a 400ex in a drag.... In the corners its all me. I run the 366 kit and love it. Keep in mind though when u bore and/or stroke any motor there is going to be alot more heat, so you may want to do an oil cooler mod at the same time you build the motor. It will save you money in the long run and keep your motor a lil more happier with the oil temps
