The Elka linkage is the variable that doesn't work out. Most swing arms barely allow a cunt hair of wiggle room on install. Then add the linkage that one out of every few thousand banshee riders have, and it's a toss up. If you're serious about developing your own linkage, this should be one of your top concerns.
For the cost of the pilots you might as well. If your planning on doing more modifications in the future you might needs to change pilots. I'm at 600 ft and am going to be using 330 main 27.5 pilots air screw 1 and quarter turns out from bottom. But my cylinders are ported. Sent from my LG-H831 using Tapatalk
Can't pin this on fireball at all. We're slapping aftermarket parts together from different company's that don't test on each other's part. They're 2 variables here which is the fireball swingarm that's is pretty much bomb proof built and has that extra bracing at tube. The other is the Elka link which relocates the shock closer to the swing arm which that's it's full function. These 2 parts together pretty much closed what ever gap there was between them and cause clearance issues but not either manufactures fault! I had the same issues with my LSR arm but decided to make a solution myself by notching the swing arm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Get up to a 32.5 pilot, lately it seems like everything I tune is taking bigger than usual pilots. This could be a fuel problem with the high ethanol lately
Anyone ever ran into this issue on a fireball swingarm? Rear shock cannot make it to the upper mounting hole. It's almost as if the swingarm is to thick where the king pin drives through. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
I had this same problem when I did my 4 mill stock cylinder from Jeff at FAST.
He told me to gap my plugs at .020 (.5MM). Cleared it up for me!
Also check pickup gap...
