[QUOTE="DEANSFASTWAY, post: 642284, member: 31309"] Marcus I put a 00 KTM PDS on a aftermarket framed 450 race quad . It had a CR500 linkage setup on it . I set it up as a ZPS zero preload system. It worke sort of hacky at first Then we trimmed the needle way shorter and changed stacks a couple times. I also played around with no needle or short needle and closed or partly closed piston bypass hole ( hole in spacer between pistons) .I also thught about removing the needle and installing a jet in the end of the shock shaft but that would disable the secondary affect and we wanted to keep it functioning.I thought I could valve one piston for low speed and one piston for high speed and quickly tune shock bypass with jet. Actually theres alot of tunability in these shocks and maybe more than most people could utilize. I can get these KTM bikes working really plush in the woods and rocks but it seems that some are just setup too firm stock.Ive seen a few of John Curyeas riders in the woods and they look really good also . In the end we got the quad working real good and the rider had some sucess with it. Wilkey and I talked about this a bit. Alot of quads come with cheaper small bodied shocks that dont really cut it . The problem with PDS changeover is that its hard to find used shocks. We tried CR500 and like YXKXRM shocks but the reservoir is in the way of the exhaust . Maybe someday Ill post some pics.
