Looking through the manual I notice that there aren't any shock shaft measurements or free length measurements to get baseline droop setup, aside from the number of shims under the piston.

How are you all doing it? Are you just setting shock shaft length to one consistent measurement or are you using some form of droop measurement during final setup?

Thanks a bunch.

Also, is it possible to just use 16 towers with the 16 bulks and not have to change anything else? Are the 16 towers any different than the 15 towers (other than the notches for the clearance of the bulk bracing)?

I know some fellas whom are using Mczkune pads with the Optional 3pad slipper in their YZ4's in which they are having better than excellent results on everything from very low bite to super high and all between. I may try see if they have Mckune pads for the XB4 and try them out.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on how the medium flex chassis braces and side rails work.

Thanks Brother

Anyone use the 3mm chassi?

The 3mm chassis is an awesome upgrade for the '15 model when used on high grip carpet and astro tracks

I'm assuming you run carpet or astro ?
