The rappy 350's and warriors are real front heavy, def compared to the Z400 you have. Not sure of the weight distribution... But i find myself givin it gas, and body english to the rear when im in flight also, soo your not the only one

yep try a -2 swingarm

 

[duneracerweston]

a +1 front end fixes that on our 350's and a tad stiffer preload will correct it also

-2 swing arm ???? or +2 swing arm you would think more weight to the rear and well i have front and rear wheel spacers the front are about 1-1/8 and the rear are about 2 or 1-3/4 so yea but i was thinkin on gettin maybe a +2 swingarm but i jus cant find on that is to my standards or comfort .... would a yfz450 swingarm fit ??? or im adding weight out back of the quad

actually -2 moves the weight more to the rear. shorter swingarm moves the center point forward which places more of the weight behind that center point. its actually a very popular mod on banshees

 

[xshiftxz350]

well im jus thinkin on making my own brand ,quads and motorcycles who is down to co-part in this world wide feat of bravery ???? im talkin about building quad with notin but the best out on the market findin a rider and mass producing ...... (FALCOR) is the name of the brand yes the dog from the never ending story is where i got it from and it fits perfect cause quads are a never ending story.....

 

[xshiftxz350]

really ???? well i guess that right because long swingarm keeps the front tire down on the holeshot but idk how that would help in the air cause youll be stickin your back tires out more witch is most of the weight in the rear and bring you back and on big jumps you can lock up you back tire witch intead you to adjust foward but idk man im jus using my common knowledge -need to take it to yamaha and see what they got to say....

lean back in the air more or pump the throttle

and by +1 front end i mean long not wide. aftermarket a arms normaly come in +2+1 or +3+1 for the warrior thats +2or 3 wide on each side and +1 long, wheel base wise.

 

[xshiftxz350]

mhmmm ohhh got you..... what about tilting the motorback maybe making an adapter or bracket of some sort to get the weight a little to the back?????

and i can scrub crazy but it get tiring after 3 motos of 20 laps sooo that why im tryin to make the ride smoother or easier to jump....

 

[beastlywarrior228]

ya suspension makes these quads soo much better

 

[ratmraptor]

U could also get a set of cf1 beadlocks for the front. That's what I want to do when I get my tax return.

 

[xshiftxz350]

Haha less weight???

 

[beastlywarrior228]

eh cf wheels really arent niticably lighter

 

[ratmraptor]

I would think carbon fiber is lighter then regular wheels. Plus sturdier. My neighbor has then on his kfx. He said you'll never bend or break them. But if u do u deserve it. And I be seen him hit a tree airborne. Broke his a arm chambers but his wheel was fine.

 

[racewarriorinmakin]

I jus hit the throttle in the air

 

[xshiftxz350]

yea i have hiper carbon bead lock on my z400 theyre really not that great of a difference but its not good to hit the throttle in the air it will eventually pop your motor.....

 

[beastlywarrior228]

you gotta learn to float the throttle coming up to a jump then just pinning it on the face

 

[xshiftxz350]

yea but theres roller section and well you gotta do one jump throttled then next jus cruise it the second one scares me nose diving soo much but it all good i jus wanted like a quick easy mod but ill jus lean back or add weight to the rear ha
