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

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.

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.  |

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???

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

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.

Besides suspension a stabilizer is the best upgrade you will do to your quad.
Stabilizer........................................$150-$500
the smooth ride..............................priceless

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.

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.
