I read in SnowGoer, that the '08 Gt's have much better rear suspension. Does anybody know what the changes are, and if it is still better to have somebody like Pioneer re-valve the shock(s) anyway?? I need the heavier spring as well.
Update to '08 - or send out to re-valve??

Pretty much most of yamaha madels have different valving and some have different springs for 08.

I am having my Attak GT setup with Hygear's revalving as well as their dual rate springs....(All 3 shocks). I am hoping to have the best of all worlds when it's done (Plush when out with my wife and capable when with the boys)

The front "W" arm is beefed up pretty good on all MONO'S for '08, spring is also bigger on GT'S, not sure what size, the shock was re-valved for better DAMPING, supposevly quicker valving to allow for a better damping , not as much BOTTOMING.
I read this in a SNOTECH and french mag (Quebec) revue...
By what the test pilots experience , it was a BIG improvement.

According to Yamaha Canada which I called, only the Apex 40th and RTX had the shocks redone for 2008.
