I picked up my cousin's 450 today and saw a Elka linkage alone in a bag for sale at the dealership. I would have asked there, but they had NO IDEA what they were talking about. According to them, you need to rebuild the topend every 100 hrs, you can use 83 octance gas, and the dent on the cap of his exhaust "is no big deal!" He also yelled at me to get off the quad saying, "you need to be 16, and I am sure you can ride it plenty when you get home!" So, me being a little ticked the guy yelled at me replied "too bad I already have one, buddy." "That is NUTS!" was his only response. You had to be there, he really had a d!ckish way about him. ANYWAY.....

I was just wondering if the ELKA linkage will fit the stock suspension and if it will help at all...it is very cheap to buy anyway...

Sorry about the rambling, had to vent after 3 1/2 hours of being on the road

That was about the motor, these guys sure do amaze me having less know-how on these quads than a 15 year old :wacko:

The linkage is designed to be used with the elka shock, not a stock one.

Unfortunally, you need the linkage and the shock like lukester said. The linkage from Elka is $225 and the shock will run you $820. Sorry if I'm repeating anyone, just like to make sure everyone gets all the info they need! Rico
