YFZ450 Front Shocks on a 660??

[zacharkins]

i jsut bought a set of 08 2 months ridden front shocks!    hell ya!   they ship today   cant wait!

[dragonz]

What did you pay?

[zacharkins]

150 plus shipping   which ended up being $174 total   i bought them off of yfzcentral

[dragonz]

Sounds good, hope they turn up as sweet as they sound.
All the best

[zacharkins]

thanks,  i do too because thats almost a too good to be true deal.
i got a quote from the yamaha dealer and the price was $580 per shock

ive talked to the seller a few times he has been available with knowledge and updates and returned/answered every call  as far as shipping and everything else ive had questions with and they shipped when he said they would.  when they arrive tomorrow as far as the ups tracking said a couple minutes ago  i will do a write up on this site and yfz central letting people know he is trustworthy.

That sounds about the right price. It really depends on what year YFZ they are off of. Sometimes off YFZCentral you can score some SWEET deals! 2 years ago I bought 06' YFZ Shocks were used for 5 hours supposedly, got them, literally no dirt, the plastic covers inside the shock coils werent' even worn at all... Scored them for $125 + Shipping!!!!!

[zacharkins]

nice,  ya these shocks are off of a 08 and the guy switched to fox shocks and was keeping them as spares but was low on money.    he said they were used for 2 to 3 months,   picture looked very clean and typical wear if any.   
i bought them off yfzcentral and there are usually people everyday with a pair for sale between 04 and 08,   i even found a pair of 09's never ridden off of the 450r   for $350 !  if i had LT arms i def woulda bought em

i cant wait til they get here tomorrow! 

[Krandall]

give us the ride report. I know when I upgraded from my 06' stock 700 pogo sticks, the YFZ's were NIGHT AND DAY difference!!!

[zacharkins]

I definitly will!    i just received them 2 hours ago from ups and they are exactly as pictured and just what was expected.
the dude i bought em from turned out to be a great seller and followed through to my total satisfaction!   which is really good because i had western union'ed "Money in minutes" to him.

his user name on yfzcentral  is 08yfz450rider   and as far as my experience i would def buy from him in the future except for the fact that i dont need any yfz parts.

i already grinded the small amounts off the bottom of each shock and em going to finish the control arms and small upper bracket grind today or tomorrow after work.

i will be riding it on sunday and cant F'ing wait!   
il give a ride report sunday or monday!

How do you tell what year they are?  I got a pair last year and they're in good shape for a $190.

he told me,   he has an 08 that he bought fox shocks for.

[zacharkins]

still havent had a chance to ride!   
anyhow   i noticed that some of the yfz shocks have a code on the bottom of "A37T"   
i cant figure out what this means.

my yfz 08 shocks have a code of i think    " A K70"  or something like that i cant remember for sure  and im not able to look at them causes im not at home.

so anybody know waht the difference is?

[dragonz]

nope, but bet they waayyy better than the stockers, & thats what matters

No idea. I'm guessing they may be different codes possibly for different valving, because each year they seem to tweak them a bit.
