Hey all... picked up an 07 Apex ER this Summer & a pair of GYT clickers from an 07 GT that are virtually new that will be going on the ER. I'm going to be sending the mono shock out for a revalve as I've read it is a significant improvement over stock valving, but I haven't read anything definitive on the GYT clickers as far as stock valving goes. Are the clickers adjustable enough that the stock valving is fine? What do you guys think - keep the clickers stock for my first season on the Apex and see how it goes, or revalve right away? Thanks for your opinions!
 
I guess it depends on how hard you ride. I would try them first. If you don't like them, you can tell the whoever is revalving them how you want them changed.

x2 I upgraded last year to GYTR Clickers and love them, tons of adjustement, I strickly ride GROOMED trails and HIGH speed and when the going gets rough I slow down, I don't do any crazy jumping or ditchbanging...I like to cruise lakes and railbeds...

No,they need to be revaled as well,the rebound adjust is a joke and the compression will only make matters worse unless you get the single stack that yamaha installed from the factory out of there and do a multie valve stack,ask the guy doing your rear shock,if he does not think you need to do the fronts,take it somewhere else,call mike carver!
 
Thanks for the feedback so far guys - any other opinions out there? I was leaning the direction of using the clickers with the stock setup anyway, and it looks like that's what the majority are suggesting... but any additional opinions are certainly appreciated.
