Well, finally installed my Long/Mid travel after a few weeks of waiting for parts, and time to do the work. Went together pretty smooth, had a few problems with hardware, but nothing a trip to the hardware store couldn't fix. Picked up a set of King 6" shocks for it, and happened to be a perfect fit. So, here are a few pics, sorry, took them real quick this morning. Will post some better ones when I get it all cleaned up.
Yamaha Finally Got My Long/Mid Travel Installed
- Thread starter Grampsride
- Start date
Its the Rancho kit, with some king shocks on it. Took it out for its maiden voyage this weekend on the Rosas Memorial Run, did pretty well, needs some shock tuning, they were set up for a +6 kit, so too much valving for mine, but it looks good and runs pretty good, little hard to steer, but I am not sure if that is because everything is new, or i need to mess with the tow and caster/camber, which ever it is. I will post some pics of it later this week.
Looks good Chris. I know Mark will take good care of you adjusting the shocks. The ride was just a little dusty huh?
She was a little dusty, but hell I didn't buy this thing to go down the highway! Dust doesn't hurt anything, and it washes off at the end of the day. Mark and I are gonna mess with the shocks real soon, hopefully this weekend, but we will see. It ran really well, had a few chances to open it up, especially on the trail between the campground and the casino, 55+ in some of those sections, it was awesome. Anyways, thanks again for the fun Ronnie, great ride.
