are they good?????

thanks, jake

Yes, any brand name stick stabilizer is a great improvement.

some guys even run two. but yes its one of those things were you buy it put it on and go and ride and not notice a thing. well then take it off and ride without it and you will realize just what they do.lol

im taking the next step lol.

thats wat i have heard, and when i just went to order it now it says its sold out WTF lol. now i get all excited and now have to wait. ;D

yea they are pretty hard to get... you can find another brand im pretty sure they are mostly all the same with just a different name on them. btw i have noticed that the non rebuildable ones last alot longer than the rebuildable. and i never used to bother rebuilding them but if you do use a thicker oil.

ya im not sure which model to get rebuild or non i dont think it would matter hopefully it wouldnt blow out first race lol. theres this brand called biletanium do you know any history on them?

Try www.kandkatv.com. That's where I got mine. And yes the rebuildable wear out quicker. If you're real serios go ahead and invest in the Precision or Elka brand stabilizers, they're alot better I'm told and more durable. But the catch is they cost more than double! I have tried riding without mine and it feels like I'm riding on ice!

they work great just dont turn it all the way stiff it will blow out fast turn it all the way stiff and then back one click to get the best out of it. i have a precision its the only one will ride with now.

Dentons are really good when i was running them but they blew out on me in about 3-4 months. So we have Precision now on both of my bikes. Ive been using them for a while now and they havnt gone out. They are the best stabalizers ever. :ThumbsUp.gif

ya i just dont feel like spending 500 bucks on a stabilizer, ill try denton until it blows and then try something else.


thanks everybody

also if i get a rebuildable one when it blows out do you just put new oil and gasket in it or what???

denton racing sells a rebuild kit for them

ok thanks, but denton itself doesnt hav any i heard about pep and biletanum probably go with one of those.

pep are non adjustable i would go with the other choice

actually im goignt to call denton and see how long there back order is i might just wait ive heard there pretty good from lots of people.

thanks, jake

I've got those FLEX bars on my YFZ...would the Denton Stabilizers still be a good idea for XC racing?
Pat

yes, it serves a different purpose.  stabilizer takes away the side to side impacts (like hitting roots with the side of tire), the flexx takes away up and down pounding

 yes the handle bars help take some of the shock away. but stabilizer takes away the bump steer. the stick stabilizers will last about one season depending on your aggressiveness if ride real hard it wont last as long. i have ridden with both type and names and now i have precision and elka and i like both.

how is the quad and the scramble this weekend.

Besides suspension a stabilizer is the best upgrade you will do to your quad.

Stabilizer........................................$150-$500

the smooth ride..............................priceless

Last we heard was that Denton was out of business??
Have you spoke to someone there?

no, there website is up and running and they still have an automated telephone system nobody answered though.

WE tried a few months back and got the same thing so we gave up after hearing they closed.
I didn't want to tellpeople that if it wasn't true.

who knows lol.

well it is basically impossible to find a ba type stabilizer for a predator 500. you can get the elka or gpr or precision but i dont want to get those cause i think thats a little high for what a bar one can do lol.

Here ya go. I've spent a lot of money with these people. Good service.

thank you i see he has 45 of them so next week, consider one sold. i heard that those were not adjustable but the description says it is.

The only way to adjust it is to move the mount on the stem from the inner to the outer hole. If you have it on the outer hole it is stiffer. I would run it on the inner hole. I ran one of those for years before I bought a Precision. You won't be dissapointed.

ok i will set it on the inner hole.

thanks, jake

The only problem I had with my PEP was I hit a tree with the bars sideways and it bent the shaft. But that would have happened if it were any brand.

I say spend the money and get a good system like Elka or Precision.

well i am still in need of a cheap turck so i could use the 500 somewere else rite now so i can make every race and more!!!!

im doing something temporary for a season or so however long it last

thanks, jake

If I am not a racer just ride few trails and open land very little jumps what is the better buy in my case for 450r presicion or a rebuildable type adjuster

sorry precision
