From Lynx......PPS ???
I am just in the planning stage, but if my plans come true - yes!
I have done a lot of test riding on a PPS equipped with pretty much the same shock absorbers as mine. There is no question about it - the PPS offers improved bottoming resistance AND improved suspension comfort at the same time. It is for sure not about the shock absorbers, but more about the added travel and the digressive/progressive link design of the PPS.

As I said, I am just in the planning stage. I have been checking some of the basic dimensions and it does not look impossible. I will know more later this spring because I will have access to a stripped down RS600.
 

Let us know how it goes.. A few Doo racers ran the PPS in the REVs and said that it really KILLS tha hits. Stean Sundström said the thing that it lacks is the ability to use the susp to gain height in the jumps, but that really isnt a big issue in trail riding :)

What do you think of WP racing shocks? They have an extra valve stack comming in action in the end of the travel for anti bottoming resistance and it has been said that WP had alittle better setups then Öhlins at this point.
 
I have got no experience of WP shocks (never worked with them). They have got a good distributor in Finland that is also sponsoring the Finnish Yamaha team, but no Swede is using them.

The extra valve stack that you are talking about is likely Ohlins patented PDS system...? An additional piston kicks in to produce additional compression damping 20-40 mm before the end of the stroke. WP used to pay license money to Ohlins to be allowed to use this system. Unless they solved this with their own patent they are still using Ohlins patent...?
 
reinforce the front subframe and spindles
front end bushings
ball joints that don't suck
maybe a longer/wide track
boost controller
bigger tank
scratchers
stiffer spring for the rear
 
polish my tunnel. I have no complaints about this stock FX Nytro @ all. Does anyone have the build dates of the ones with front end probs.
 
Nytro RTX has been at the dealer since jan 23.Still waiting for parts.

Mabey it can stay there if I trade it in.
But its still almost new.Not even broken in.

If I keep it I would be asking about a new replacement front frame piece and spindles or reinforce.
Clutching mabey.
Bushings.
Better ball Joints and or mod them.
Mabey the bigger gas tank in clear.
Hygear suspension mods.Already have the air chambers.
Raise the gauge pod.
Add some wheels to rear susp.
