Raptor 700R Suspension Upgrade Rocket Ron Revalved Stock Shocks and Hess Linkage Test Review

Raptor 700R Suspension Upgrade Rocket Ron Revalved Stock Shocks and Hess Linkage Test Review. New spring rates and valving are all that's needed to improve the ride quality of the Yamaha Raptor 700R's stock shocks. When combined with a Hess linkage for the rear shock the Raptor's ride height can be lowered lowering the machine's center of gravity and improving stability.

Ron Elmore, owner of Rocket Ron Racing out of Attica Indiana, has been racing, building race quads and tuning ATV suspension since the 1980s. They specialize in revalving and setting up OEM shocks, We asked Ron if he could help us get the most out of our Raptor’s OEM shocks. A few weeks after sending our shocks off they were back in our possession revalved, resprung and restyled.

For our setup Ron recommended we utilize a Hess linkage. Rocket Ron often recommends a Hess linkage. The Hess link lowers the rear of the quad around an inch and reduces the ramp up in firmness throughout the stroke allowing you to more easily access full travel with less mid-stroke harshness.

With Rocket Ron's revelved Raptor 700R shocks and Hess linkage, If we lived out west we wouldn’t hesitate to install a kill switch and take our Raptor to a Worcs race or even try a local motocross race, the shocks are certainly up to it. If you’re interested in cross country racing or simply improving your Raptors handling and suspension performance while maintaining a narrower width, Rocket Ron can certainly help you out as well.
