Caster and Camber Adjustments Explained (A-Arm/Suspension Set Up for ATVs)

This video is one of many in a series of videos showing the details of upgrading a Yamaha Raptor ATV. The goal of the project is to modify a 2016 Yamaha Raptor to optimize the performance for riding / racing on motocross tracks. The project includes front and rear suspension upgrades, steering upgrades, and installation of many more aftermarket parts. Parts include Lonestar Racing parts, Elka Shocks, LSR AxeCaliber axle, Tusk parts, Flexx bars, Nice CNC parts / bolts, Renthal sprockets, EBC brake parts, etc. There are also videos detailing the removal of the OE parts as well as set-up tips/tricks.

I set my camber to 3 degrees, do you think that is a little excessive for a trail rider (but a fast and agressive rider)? Some of our riding trips is to towns where there is also some on road riding.

Sorry for the late reply. Was on vacation. I think three is on the outer limits of what I would recommend two to three is fine though especially for more aggressive trail riding.

[@MotoXr917]

Wouldn't necessarily worry about short lengths on the road. I wouldn't recommend setting it up for that since unlikely to perform well under those circumstances anyways so may as well optimize it for aggressive trail riding. In other words think you're fine. Thanks for checking out the video let me know if anything else comes up.

@MotoXr917 thanks, I ended up making it about 2 degrees with no weight, angle gauge drops to about 1.5 with weight, looks like tires will wear better this way.
