Does The Yamaha YXZ 1000 Suspension Suck???

Today I Install a front shock relocation bracket on my 2016 Yamaha YXZ 1000, talk a bit about the suspension issues that the YXZ has and then take it out for a test drive to see if this bracket really helps
Thanks for watching

In the stock location, the shocks blow through the valving about 3/4 of the way though the stroke and then they becomes “spongey” for lack of a better word. The bracket helps that by changing the angle and helping the shocks stay more progressive through the stroke.
Also, you’ll probably want to trim the plastic around the cutouts where the shocks come through the hood. When the suspension compresses and the shocks swing out, the reservoirs will rub on that plastic. Or at least both of the YXZs I’ve installed the bracket on.

Good to know thanks man, I'll keep an eye on the rezzys and I'll trim a bit if needed.

Where can I purchase the relocation bracket?

[@RWB930]

Thinking about one for my z. Let me know how it works out. I’d also look into a front frame support kit too the yxz are very weak in the front.

Do you know how to lower the ride? To make it more buggy like

[@minnowlaketuning]

Could drop preload a bit but you won't be able to get it a whole lot lower
