Well i finally got out for a few hours and let me start by saying that it feels like a whole new machine.Keep in mind that this is also the first ride with +2 A arms. Before heading out,I had to do some minor adjustments.First, I added a little preload to the rear to level it out.Second, The stock skidplate needed some modifications to accommidate the new linkage.Once we arrived,my first impression was its stance.Sitting in my garage,it obviosly looked wide and lower while i was working on it ,but sitting next to my buddies YFZ it looked ALOT lower. The track was extremely muddy so speed didnt come easy.I was able to hit some 20+ft tabletops and the shocks soaked them up nicely.Santo's setup was just about right on.The fronts felt a little hard,so i adjusted the compression a little.Rebound felt pretty good.Ill adjust them more when ive got more time,the track is in better condition and as they break in a little more.These shocks,combined with the +2's are so much more stable than the stock setup.The rear felt alot better with the linkage.Compression and rebound were set good and as stated above,some preload was added to level it out.Unfortunatly track conditions kept the speeds down,which is where i found the real rear end bucking problems in the past,but from what i can tell so far,problem solved.So to sum it up,im very happy with the DeRisi package and i feel for the money that wanted ,or should i say "had' to spend,this is one of the best handling improvements ive made.(RPM Dominator axle being another)Im headed to Florida for the Daytona 500 and some R&R but hopefully when i get back things around here dry up and warm up some.Hope this helps you undecided guys. Here is a before and after pic.I spent more time cleaning than i did riding.

What rear linkage are you using?

kilabanshee · 02-28-2005, 05:49 PM

I think derisi runs his own linkage similar to gt thunders.
