im running about 120 in the evol, and 40 in the main, im about 180 though, but all my friends say im running way to little air, but my bike sits right, and its nice and squishy. so who cares.

also, my high speed and rebound are in the middle of the clicker range. but my low speed is about 6 clicks above middle.

Got a yfz450r, running 190psi in the evol, 45psi in the main. I weight 190lbs. Dont know where my clickers are, play with them all the time, different track different set up.

Leveldrummers sounds way to soft, do you hit big jumps? If so, take care. I have had a massive off because I didnt have enough pressure on the evol, now I always go on the safe side and add a little more psi just to be sure.

I'm at 170lbs. with all my gear on and I'm running 35main and 160 Evol. My rebound is set on the slower side and my comp. settings I'm always playing with depending on track conditions.

I like my ride height a little on the low side. 7 1/4" from the bottom of the pegs and about 7 3/4" from the bottom of the frame where the motor mount is at.

Have you got the fox podium rear shock also? If so, whats it like?

Yes, I'm running a Podium LSC with a Walsh pullrod.

I went directly from a stock '04 shock to this set-up and let me tell you, it was a night and day difference. I would definately say that it gave me way more confidence being more aggresive with my jumping. I don't necessarily have to worry to much about slightly casing a jump if it happens. After I dialed it in just right to compliment my front end, the quad almost never bucks at all and if it does, it's very minimal.

The best thing I like about it is that I notice the response I get when I open up the throttle, I can feel the power transfer to the ground much more then the stock shock. It just soaks up the weight transfer front front to rear so easy.


Other will argue that there are better brands out there for the rear, but I will put this Podium/Walsh combo up against any other shock out there against performance and quality.

I weigh 190 lbs. and run 150 psi in the Evol chamber and 55 in the main with ATV Four Play MGC +.5 long-travel a-arms paired with a Podium X in the rear with stock linkage.

High speed compression is two clicks harder than where Fox set it, and I haven't touched the rebound or low-speed compression yet, but I've only been on my practice track with it so far.

YFZ or YFZR? Just curious.
