Raptor Shocks

[warriorrider13]

I think the next mod I have to buy is suspension because mine just plain suck and was wondering since they don't make 660's anymore and replaced it with the 700, do the 700's shocks fit on a warrior?

The only shock off any raptor that safely works on the warrior is the rear shock off of the 01 660. The front shocks are all too long, and the rear shocks off the other years don't fit becuase the piggyback gets in the way of the airbox.

when they updated the raptor 660 they redid the suspension and chassis so they most likely wont fit. i have heard though that the only shock off a raptor that will fit a warrior is the rear shock off a 2001 raptor which i am looking into getting as well

 

[warriorrider13]

yes as soon as i get a job and money I will for sure buy them

then just buy some wider a arms and yfz front shocks and you should have a decent suspension for the money

exactly

yfz shocks in the front regardless of longer arms or not = crapola setup!!! They aren't valved correctly for the geometry and also are entirely too long. In order for the yfz shocks to work correctly you would need the hsd custom made arms designed for the use of them. You would be much better off saving a bundle for the aftermarket shocks. I won't disagree with the raptor rear shock however, it has much closer suspension geometry to the warrior. The reason the yfz shocks won't work right with normal aftermarket arms is simply because they have the same shock mounting position, hence the same shock length.

I was going to say the same thing, but i'm getting tired of explaining that to all these newB's

Anybody know if any Fox Racing Float shox will fit a raptor 350?

 

[boxhead]

I wouldn't go with those, the seals would blow out constantly when companies first introduced air shocks. The best use for those would be drag racing for weight savings. You would be better off with a set of recreational series works over the fox shocks.

y cant you cut the springs, just like you can in a car....still not safe i dont think
