YZ2 Droop & Limiters

[Fozzy1989]

Hi guys

I'm just rebuilding my YZ2 for the weekend and have come to my shocks. Droop and limiters are never really something I have played about with before. What's everyone running? In the manual its 20mm shock length front with 2 limiters and 27mm back with 2 limiters. Are people changing the length depending on limiters?

Thanks in advance
Chris

I run 5.5 mm of droop limiters in the rear shocks. Standard on the front.

I didn't like the big difference in droop between the front and rear.
I really like how it drives with less droop on the rear.

But as always, try for your self. That is the only way to find out if you like it.

We have been using 0mm front and 1mm rear so far.

For more rotation, use LESS droop, thus more limiters, on the rear. Makes the car faster in corners. If you drive on a very bumpy track, stick to the droop

And it rotates more than enough with 1mm limiter in the rear over here on bumpy astro.

I ran the spacers for the first time this weekend at the Mid-South regional at Herts. The weather was difficult and track conditions were slick in places and dry in others.
While I'm a distinctly under average level of racer, the car felt so much easier to control and guide round fast sweeping corners, while also rapid to bring round the very tight hair pin style ones. The car felt faster than ever before (been using it since release) and I felt incredibly comfortable using it.

I had read this thread before I went, seeing 1mm being the benchmark used and 5.5mm being the upper extreme, and I opted for 2mm. My reason for doing this, is as a fairly new driver I like to make changes that I can feel the difference and then guide back for tuning. However I stuck with the 2mm all day and never thought twice about it. I ran no spacers in the front.

Results wise I went up a final from the last regional at Silverstone (about 8 places), so I would definitely recommend trying this tuning option.
