dude if you ride in trails. or woods, I recommend not lowering your quad....you will find it to be trouble if you ride in the places i ride....Also, these people that lowered thier quad to make it handle better, simply set it up wrong in my opionion....mine handles just as good as thiers does, without lowering the quad.....I just stiffened the compression just a very little bit....I then made the rebound slower on comeing back up.....and I can take a corner just as fast, if not faster then the people who lowered thier quads.....I lowered mine for 1 day, and raised it back up the very next day...I kept getting stuck on tree stumps and such....it would be a good set up for motor cross. But I think it is just as good, even at motorcross, withoug lowering the quad...I have posted this before. where people say it dives to much in corners.....I think they just need to learn how to take a corner....dont go into the corner braking like they say to.....brake at first...then before you get to the corner let off and brake to bring the quad back level...wants its level again...turn and crack the throttle.....that will swing you right around the corner with no loose of controll due to cab roll....these people that actually seen a improvement in lowering this quad, I think need to learn how to ride it in a different way....
I know I probably started something here, these people are going to want to flame me now, but that OK...I could care less about that...I am just sharing my style of racing compared to others....try different things until you find what you like...cause in my opionion lowering the quad did not make any difference in cab roll....you just need to not be braking so hard in the corners, that your nose diving into the corner.....let off the brake before corner, that will bring the quad back level....then from there kick it sideways around the corner...I would race anyone on here with this set up....Im not saying I would beat everyone...but I garentee. They will have a run for thier money.......just my 2 cents....
Dont do something becasue everyone else did....try what they say, then improve on that for your own style....I had to raise mine back to the stock setting....And I am way better on corners like this...plus when you are in the whoops section this set up is far supperior then the set up with the quad lowered........
For all, this info is based on stock shocks.....for my riding style....everyone elses set up may be best for them....I am just sharing what best for me....
One thing I have learned about these sites is one person sets thier quad up like this,,,,and they say its better. So everyone else sets thier up just like that.....Does this make since to anyone who really knows how to ride.....I would hope not.....what this causes, is a lack of people trying new things....Thus you end up with one result instead of a variety of settings...
