You should be more about setting it up correctly and working properly. Not tight binding steering and F'd up geometry. You say you dont like how low it is, but you'll keep it because the steering is tight. There is no logic there. Steering stabilizer, proper shocks, proper arms. That seems like logic. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Sorry if I came off sounding like an ass. Work was extremely rough yesterday. Anyways, i see your point. But the stiff steering does help a lot during hard acceleration. Because I have to lean forward and tighten up my back like crazy to keep from pulling back on the left side of the handlebars. Then when I shift, I’m still kinda leaning forward with some pressure pushing forward now. It’s a pain in the ass to say the least. I have a 450r with long travel and PEP shocks and it handles beautifully. But since it’s so easy to steer, the problem I mentioned above is actually worse. Even with the smooth 4-choke powerband and way less power. It’s really hard to explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you can set the inside softer then the out side to avoid having to counter steer. Or the inside harder to keep it straight. Its easily the best stabilizer for the yfz.

sheerider11 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Also I bet if you called them and explained your situation they would be willing to help get one on your banshee. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atvfreestylekid Posted March 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Never heard ot them before. I’ll have to check em out. I always heard that stabilizers have to be rebuilt or replaced all the time so I never really looked into any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another to control wide out side steering. So I run it loose on the inside and pretty tight on the out side it helps the bike from coming around in turns. With both turned in all the way, its almost impossible to turn the bars. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atvfreestylekid Posted March 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 That sounds pretty interesting. Definitely going to give them a call. It’d be nice to have a smooth ride and still have stiff steering. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atvfreestylekid Posted March 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Dang, sure wasn't wanting to see that $600 price tag. Fucking sucks I'm having to spend all this money on shit to modify my bikes just so I can ride them again. Oh well, comes with the territory I guess.

All I've heard on the subject is they won't make a stabilizer for the banshee(precision) if you manage to get them to change their mind let everyone know. That or contact people to make a custom bracket to mount on a banshee. Sucks they make em for blasters and a whole ton of utilities and crap.

dano3 Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 you could be the guinea pig and try this kit. I have never been able to find much info about it being installed on a banshee and also not sure if the GPR offers adjustments for the inside/outside damping separately like a Precision unit. These GPR V1s go for pretty cheap used on ebay, if only we could get someone to make a proper mount bracket for them. http://www.hsdracing.com/Yamaha-Banshee-GPR-Steering-Std-Low-Boy-Damper-Blk-Prodview.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
