JD Performance Long Travel A-arms for the Yamaha YFZ450.

JD Performance A-arms are built for the top class racers.

  • 4130 Chromoly Construction
  • Self Lubricating Bushings
  • "Free Movement" Ball Joints
  • Gusseted Shock Mounts
  • Chrome-moly Tie-Rods
  • Adjustable Caster
  • Adjustable Camber

Camber Adjustment
On these A-arms, the ball joint slides through the end of the arm, with a jam nut on the outside and lock nut on the inside. Camber adjustment is done by simply loosening one nut and tightening the other. Most of the competition threads the top ball joint into the arm, so adjusting the camber would require "breaking" the ball joint loose from the spindle then turning the ball joint... not very fast or easy. For those of you who are worried about the jam nut on our set up, simply use a little Locktite.

Caster Adjustment
Setting the caster is the fastest and easiest in the industry. The top arms have "caster shims". Simply remove the top A arm bolt (or 2 bolts for non Yamaha) and relocate the shims and shift the arm forward or back. The whole process takes 5 to 10 minutes, and adjusting the caster does not affect your camber settings. Most of the competition uses heims on the frame end of the top A arms to adjust caster. Using this method is extremely time consuming and difficult to do, not to mention that your camber settings will change in the process. Getting both sides of your quad to have equal settings is nearly impossible without specialized gauges and tons of experience. JD has taken the guess work out of the front end and made it easy for you!

The caster adjustment on these arms are innovative, quick and EXACT everytime.

A-arm Configuration

Width: The wider your go, the more stable the quad becomes. The suspension also gains wheel travel when you widen the stance.

Forward: The forward position is determined from the stock location. Depending on the rider, bike and type of riding, some people want to change the forward position of the A-arms to help keep the front end down , balance the weight of the quad or add bite in a corner.

**ATTENTION RACERS - If you are purchasing A-arms for racing, be aware that +3 a-arms on most ATVs may put the width of your ATV over the regulation limit. If you are running negative offset front wheels (4+1) then you may be able to run +3 A-arms. Please be aware of the regulations, know your equipment and do your homework before ordering.

The following configurations are available for this ATV.

Shock Length

JD offers the following shock length options for these A-arms. These A-arms can be used with either 17.5" or 18.5" Long Shocks (Long Travel Shocks) depending on which option you choose.

Please keep in mind that both options offer the same wheel travel. JD recommends going with the 17.5" Long Shock option because it has a better motion ratio.

Before ordering be sure you know what size shocks you have or what size shocks you can order from the manufacturer you plan to order your shocks through. Not all shock manufacturers offer 18.5" Long Shocks for the YFZ450. Be sure you can get the shocks you want with the option you choose below.

1" Interceptor Brake Line Clamps

~~ Special Offer - 2 pair for $30 ~~
(When purchased with this set of A-arms)

When we developed the Interceptor Clamps we decided to create a completely NEW and IMPROVED design rather than copying the industries standard, deficient, outdated brake line clamps.

FUNCTION
Where standard clamp designs use only one screw to fasten the clamps, the Interceptor design utilizes two stainless steel screws offering superior clamping power.

DURABILITY
Just like the Interceptor Body Armor used by the US Military, the Interceptor Clamps have a tough protective coating. Interceptor Brake Line Clamps are Hard Anodized which provides a much more durable and abrasion resistant coating than Standard Anodizing. This coating protects the clamps finish from harsh debris like sand and rocks. This means that your Interceptor Clamps will retain their awesome appearance, after even the hardest of rides. Hard Anodizing is used in industrial applications while Standard Anodizing is commonly used for cosmetic applications.

DESIGN
With a completely new and original design, the Interceptor Brake Line Clamps keep the brake lines close and secure to the a-arms, out of harms way.
