will 2009 yfz 450r shocks fit on the xx like the can am ds 450 shocks? they look like good shocks haveing high and low speed compreshion and rebound.

 

[USMC0861]

looks like it....springs and valving r the big ????s

 

[Cranedaddy]

In person they look a lot shorter than the xx's shocks but I haven't taken a tape measure to them. That would be funny, at the yamaha shop guy says "sir can I help you??" I'm all like "no thanks" as I measure the shocks lol

 

[USMC0861]

I've been that guy plenty of times

The regular yfz450 shocks are about 16" (2009 and back). The new FI yfz45R shocks are about 18.25". You would have to modify a bit like on the DS shocks. The new 450R shocks are amazing, they hi and low compression adjustable, rebound and preload. They are comparable to aftermarket shocks like Elka.

 

[700xxmaniac]

ds450 shocks have the same adjustmeants

 

[rappyfreak]

Yep, however Josh Wiig said that the 450R shocks are probably the best stock shocks out there right now and that he puts them up there with Elkas.

 

[700xxmaniac]

ohhh... to bad there a-arm are messed up

 

[canadIanguY]

So the ds450 shocks will fit right on the xx? Has anyone done this?

 

[700Xxrida]

canadIanguY:
u have to mod the ds 450 shocks by grinding some off of the top eye and a tiny bit of the frame but nothing major and alot of people have done it.

the reason i was asking about yfz 450r shocks is because there cheaper on ebay than ds 450 shocks.
so with the yfz 450 shocks u have to do the same abount of modding as the ds 450 shocks but they will work???

 

[700Xxrida]

also do normal ds 450 shocks have high and low speed compreshion?

I have seen Polaris 525 IRS front shocks fitted to a 700xx. A straight bolt on , but the springs were stockers. The Polaris front stockers are Fox .
I didn't measure them but I will and let you know.

 

[700Xxrida]

thanks baxter. are 525 popo shocks better than stock?

 

[700Xxrida]

also will suzuki ltr 450 shocks fit?

 

[Baxter]

thanks baxter. are 525 popo shocks better than stock?

Anything is better than stock .

 

[Baxter]

also will suzuki ltr 450 shocks fit?

The problem with the Ltr shocks is the rezzies. Give me some time on theses.

 

[Luecker]

If LTZ400 shocks bolt right up to the stock mounts then the LTR shocks will need spacers on the bottom mount and the top is a little bit wider.

The DS450 and YFZ450R front shocks are both made by KYB and are almost identical. Either set will most like work and require the same modification.

 

[700xxmaniac]

also do normal ds 450 shocks have high and low speed compreshion?

yes and rebound

 

[trx tas]

this is a email i got about our shocks fitting different bikes dont know if it helps keep in mind this email is about fox float x evol fronts

Your current shocks will fit stock shock length Polaris Outlaw front, TRX450 & 700XX plus KFX450 front the only difference is the spacer will have to be changed in the top end eye for the Outlaw and KFX you need to move the bottom end eye spacers to the top and buy a new set for the bottom.

 

[traitor08]

my buddy races TRX450's, he has several stock sets of shocks. If they fit I might try to get a set or 2 from him.
