Hi All, I have now taken my ride out to the dunes and the forest trails. First ride was dunes - out of the box I noticed a softer impact up front going over rocks and roots on the dune trails but the whoops on the dunes still smacked me around. Next ride was up in the mountains again the...

Thanks again 435Wolv... I ended up buying some Elkas so I'm good to go in the shock department now.

Bigfoot, what are you wanting to accomplish with the aftermarket arms? I haven't seen anybody advertising that their product fits the Wolverine but then almost nobody does. I would fire off an email to the big names first like Houser then pick up a dirtwheels mag, flip to the back and start...

XJ - let me see If I understand, are you asking how to mount the ball joint into the A-arm? If so, I had to have mine pressed in at the local Yamaha shop. However, I have seen a guy with a home made press do it on u-tube so I'm guessing it's possible.

435WOLV - Thanks for the tip. What year of Raptor did the shocks come from and how did you know they would work on your wolvy? Where did you find the shocks and how much (if you don't mind) did you pay?

Well Shocks finally came in last week. Elka says that they had trouble getting the spring for the back shock. I went to put them on today and noticed that there is a gap where the back shock mounts on the bottom. Called Elka and they tell me that's ok but it doesn't seem right to me. The...

Hi QMaze, Unfortunately, I have not received them yet. I ordered them directly from Elka over the phone and they don't have much in the way of feedback for where your order is in the process. I understand that they custom make the shocks based on the info you give them. I had to tell the...

Well, I took the plunge and bought the entry level Elkas. They are known as the recreational series, i.e. dont have all of the fancy stuff just preload for the fronts and I added rebound to the back. I am seriously hoping they help soften things up as I got them on sale but still spent...

Sorry Boss...didn't mean any insult on the search suggestion. Like I've said I have not gone down that road before and unfortunately I don't have a shop manual that I can peak at to give you a tip on what you are seeing. Anyone else able to help GTOBOSS? btw, I've seen pdf manuals on ebay...

Did you double check the hose and make sure its clear of any mud or other blockage? ...also not pinched anywhere along the path.

Haven't gone down that road before... did you do a search on the forum and see if anyone has posted on the subject? I got quite a number of hits including this http://forum.woodwarrior.com/viewtopic.php?t=597&highlight=axl+boot Good Luck!

Ok so in my never ending quest to find an inexpensive way to keep my back from killin me when I ride, I came across this suspension kit that supposedly just bolts on. Sounds like it changes the angle of your stock shocks to more vertical which allows them to have longer travel hence a softer...

So I'm talking to the guys at Fasstco about the bars and for about $450 I can get a set of the bars the cushioners a pad, and a set of Rox risers shipped to my door. About a third of what Elka wants for shocks but again I'd really like to hear if anyone else has tried these bars before I spend...

So handles better but you don't notice a more comfortable ride? Did you work with Elka i.e. tell them what kind of rider you are and have them suggest a set of shocks or just go for it? For the most part I just like to putz around on the trails 15-20mph so I really need something to make...

Do you have a breather tube that comes off of the cover? If so check to make sure that it's not clogged. If not it may be a sign that your rings are going ... are you burning oil?

So I'm reading the September Dirt Wheels mag and I see FLEXX bars from a company called FASST co. Anybody using a pair of these and if so do the really help take away some of the pounding? www.fasstco.com Supposedly they help to absorb some of the blast to your arms and shoulders coming...

Nobody huh... well anybody buy Fox or anything else suspension-wise to help cure the need for so much Ibuprofen after each ride?

LOL... if I'm goin muddin then I'm gettin muddy and as long as I remember to bring a change of clothes so I don't get the ol' GM dirty then all is well.

Ok so forgive my ignorance but what do you mean by get it cut?
