Yamaha Raptor 700R SE Shock Conversion
 

In today's world of big-bore ATV's there is a need to get traction to the ground. Yamaha did a fantastic job at giving the customer what they deserve. The Yamaha Raptor 700R Special Edition features excellent shocks that are found on the YFZ450. With the adjustability of hi/low speed compression dampening and rebound dampening there is a need for shock work internally. Most people have installed +2" swing-arms and have noticed that the shock comfort and adjustability is gone. The main reason for this is that the leverage ratio's have changed thus, demanding more from the shock. WiigStyle Racing has got you covered when it comes time to revalve and rebuild your SE shock. Installed is a Mega Valve Kit designed and used by WiigStyle Racing. In the kit you get the valve, shim stacks, new oil, and nitrogen.

Re-valve Kit Cost: $175.00 (plus rear shock labor $60)

Bladder Cap and Bladder

WiigStyle Racing will upgrade the bladder cap upon customer approval. The bladder will not be upgraded unless it is torn. This allows for a proper and complete shock rebuild without sacrificing performance and error. The bladder cap can be upgraded but stock will be used in most cases. The customer will always be called and know what is going on with parts that are needed.

Shock Bladder Cap Cost: $49.99

Shock Bladder: $49.99 (replaced only if torn or punctured)

*NOTE*  Shock Shaft Machining: Due to the demands of longer swing-arm's in order to gain true performance from the rear shock, shock shaft shortening will have to be applied after the swing-arm length is beyond +6" and over the rider weight of 250lbs. This will give the operator the best possible ride without the hassle of stressing out the shock and internal components. Cost: $125.00 (machining is required and new parts are required, cost includes labor and parts)


Notice the difference in spring size. WiigStyle Racing takes your shock mods seriously! Stock spring rate is 4.6kg/mm. New spring is 10.3kg/mm!!

Example: Shortened shock shaft for a Yamaha 700 SE. This shock is set-up for a +4" swing-arm and a rider weight of 325lbs.

Rebound Separator Valve

On the Yamaha Raptor 700R SE it is hard to control the power of the engine at times in braking bumps, sand whoops, and gullies. WiigStyle Racing utilizes a rebound separator valve to control the the low speed rebound and low speed compression adjustment. With this piece you will have better pitch control, front to back movement on acceleration and braking.

Why is this needed? On a standard shock the Low Speed Rebound Adjuster flows the same on compression and rebound. In testing when the lowest speed rebound damping is quick enough to get good traction, the lowest speed compression damping is to mushy. This causes a vague feeling and bottoming on long duration hits like big dips or gullies in dirt. The separator valve can be adjusted for rider weight by drilling out the bleed port for maximum performance.

Rebound Separator Valve Cost: $59.99 plus labor ($70.00-fronts, $60.00-rear)

Seal Head: $49.99 (available for rear shocks only)

Front and Rear Shock Springs

These springs are designed for the +2" swing-arms and +2" a-arms. Made by CNC cold wound processes these springs will not leave you disappointed. When ordering please specify rider weight, riding conditions, and swing-arm or a-arm length (+2", or stock, etc.). Also available are rear springs designed for +4" to +8" swing-arms. Shock spring spacers are needed and run $15 to $25 depending on weight, riding conditions, and swing-arm length. The +6" and beyond swing-arm lengths will require machining and your spring preload can't be more than a maximum of 10mm. Please see the note above about the machining process.

Rear Shock Spring Cost: $120.00 (spring color is not guaranteed)

Rear Series Sport Spring Kit

This kit gives you added spring pre-load adjustability for your rear SE shock. This kit is great for the motocross racers, dune riders, and the raptor's with extended swing-arm's. Kit contains all the hardware required to install. **NOTE** Main spring must be purchased separately to make the kit complete. Refer to shock springs up top.

Kit Cost: $129.99

 

Front Shock Conversions and Modifications

 

Front Shock Travel Extender Kit: This kit allows you to gain 15mm or from stock length to 11 inches. This kit will work great with aftermarket sport or race series springs. Price: Please call!!

  Sport and Race Series Springs are available NOW!!!: Cost $299.99 per kit. Dual-rate spring set-up.
