When at speeds lower than 20mph on rough trails, my 05 Warrior has a terrible banging from the rear, even over the smallest bumps. I am assuming it has something to do with the suspension, and i've tried making several adjustments to no avail. I had a buddy look at it and he thought it might be the limiting straps, but I'm not convinced.

At speeds over 20mph it goes away totally now matter how rough the ride gets. Anyone have the same experience or have any ideas?

even pulled it out, checked everything. no problems found, changed hyfax thats it.
heard people tried the bender rods and the noise is still there.
 
I thought it was the front arm bottoming out but it is the tranfer rods clacking. Get the same clack on sudden acc. from low speed;rods going the other way. Normal. 4-stroke so quiet, I hear all kinds of stuff:spring sqeaking, track squeaking,etc.
 
I think you hit the nail on the head. I hear all kinds of crap going on in the tunnel. Warm things up, inspect entire suspension - NOTHIN! But if you think about what your suspension goes through there's no way it could do it quietly. Who would of thought that there was a negative side to the 4 stroke being quiet.
 
Rubber Bushings

I have a Rage with the same effect. (Is it the same 136 suspension?)

Anyways, I saw someone mention replacing the plastic bushings on
the transfer rods with rubber ones. This might dampen the clunking
somewhat. Has anyone done this? Does anyone have a Yamaha
or McMaster Carr part number?

Thanks!
 
IMO Banging means your suspension is going in and out of coupling. Increasing the spring preload may help. I know it did on my Pro-Action. 1999 Vmax Dlx. Sweet trip 600! RR
