The suspension doesn't need that much improvements, it just needs to be set up for his weight and he needs to push it, unless you are expecting it to ride like a cloud ( Honda) then your spending lots of $$$. The YFZ's like to be smashed to get a softer ride while the Honda's offer a soft ride but when pushed start to push back.
I backed all the compression settings off and took a little spring rate out. We will see this weekend. He’s a strong kid. And he’s used to riding his raptor 250 in the beat up stuff.
The R’s are setup already with the wider suspension and better shocks. A steering dampener is all it needs, if you’re over 35, but for a younger kid it’ll be perfect.
I’m very happy with the purchase. Just know if your trailer space is tight. That this bike is much wider and longer than the raptor 250.
Yes I did. Just got a set of scat trak edges for my other 450. Interested to see how they work and may put a set on the yfz.
I usually softened the compression and increased the rebound dampening for the kids. may need lighter springs but id start there.
I'm thinking you're gonna like the Haulers better. But if you don't and decide to sell them, write me first please, thanks!
