This old banshee Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 I have no experience on another Banshee to compare wondering what some people's thoughts may be. My Banshee is as set up for MX racing when I bought it. This is what I know it has: 1.) Lonestar plus + 2 A arms. 2.) DWT AT 22x11-9 Rear 3.) DWT 23x7-10 Fronts 4.) Ohlins rear shock. 5.) Aftermarket swingarm, I am not sure if this is a minus 1 swingarm or stock length I do not have another one to measure accurately. 6.) I believe it has plus two axles but it uses ( Honda offset rims/Hubs) in the back. The seller said it was better for better handling/geometry? I must admit for how big these things are this thing handles extremely well in tight stuff and goes over bumps and whoops like glass however on a straight line this thing is squirrely and wonders and weaves at 60 70 miles an hour I will drift 4' from side to side sometimes. and often accelerating quickly during shifts it will pitch sideways pretty fast. Could somebody elaborate if they know on what I have and if that would cause the (wandering) straight line stability. I live in the California desert and there are a lot of straightaways... It's pretty sketchy enough where I know would definitively I will eat s*** one day. If I rode fast on straightaways often and I don't want to do that... as I'm often alone🙄😄 Any advice from MX guys or desert racers would be appreciated I think I would like to set this machine up more for open desert racing so let me know any info or advice that you may have. FYI I am not.... racing. Just riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Check the toe in on the front end bad alignment becomes apparent at high speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Reynolds Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 Check the front alignment and the swing arm bearings and axle bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
