Question for Raptor 660 shock users.

[sebring26]

I put the Raptor 660 rear shock on my Warrior and am having a problem with my chain being REALLY tight on my lower chain roller that sits right behind the front sprocket. I've done everything I can to adjust the chain but with the back of the bike sitting higher I can't take the chain pressure off the lower roller. It makes a bad grinding noise, especially when I am slowing down.

I know a lot of people have done this conversion. Has anyone else had this problem and if you did how did you fix it?

Thanks!

Scott

you can get an adjustable dog bone lowering link and or a TM Designworks bearing lower roller

Three things that help:
Adjustable dog bone
A lighter spring rate so the bike squats when you sit on it.
Or an AMP link
I run an AMP link with a LTZ front spring installed on the 660 shock.
For me it rides perfect.

LTR josh.. I sent you LTR springs lol.

I'd get a dog bone to set the tail down. Most people do that. I'm going amp link because I like the stance as it sets

I used an adjustable rear link for a 660 & cut it down to 5-1/4" it puts everything back close to stock.

Is the 5 1/4" Dogbone you have now shorter or longer then the stock Warrior Dogbone? I could measure but the bike is not at my house.

Would a dogbone off any other bike work? When I was searching posts laast night I read someone used the 660 rear shock and a 700 dogbone and it was back close to stock....but now I cant find the post again.

Thanks for all the replies.

The one woo ya is running is longer then factory. I'm not sure which bone will work.

Why do the AMP links say 87-95 only?

 

[duneracerweston]

Have no idea lol they work on all years yfm's 87-14

alright cool

My link is an adjustable unit for a 660. No stock link is a fix all. The adjustable link requires modding as well, it's in my thread I think.

Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=350283569328

This is pretty much what in using accept mine is from ATV engineering and half the price. You've got to cut an inch from each side and you have to narrow it.

 

[sebring26]

Did you cut the inch from each side where the rod threads into the center? For narrowing it can you use a bench grinder or do you have to cut it?

Thanks
