Quick question how do you guys draw up the ball joints an tie rod ends .do you use a impact on the nuts.other wise tapper spin. Also anyone have a pic of proper brake line route thru +2 +1 a-arms. Aftermarket alba kit with clamps .thanks for the help

Ok I ordered up the alba long travel a arms should be here next week . Still gotta get shocks I will throw on stock until I can swing shocks . Thanks for the help

I will check them out . Those lt alba a arms are the mouts for stock shock any good or are they a bad set up. I don't want a bunch of clanging going on while I'm riding . Is the gull wing worth it or just go with the standard +2+1 for less ?

Thanks guys I will give it a shot

From alba or eBay I had thought about this route but was torn withe the full flights

Any suggestion on a nice set up for a trail rider . I'm just a average guy who gets out once in a while . I would like to keep cost down not be cheap but a smart buy for a average rider

Looking to buy these a arms but I feel like I'm getting mixed reviews from other post. Can you guys give me some advice on set up. Or point me towards another post to read . Thanks

Should I put a little oil in cylinder an move it up an down . For rings ? . I bought the quad about 11 years ago got married an had two boys but would not let my banshee go my oldest now 5 asked are ever going ride those I laughed . I think it's time to get it out lol

Hi any opinion on what I should do before firing up my banshee after sitting 5 years not running . I have pushed over kicker a few times. Really I'm wondering about motor internal parts motor was a fresh total rebuild every bearing seal crank pistons . Thanks for the help first post on here

could you please enter me in i would like a chance also. thanks bill

well one im not a english major!I have not even put the cases together yet.i just set the transmission in the bottom side of the cases . i have not put the crank in yet all i did was lube the bearings befor i set them in place for the transmission.ill try to do better next time with spelling.also im not talking about the yamabond im talking about the seal surface on the cases for the seals for the transmission and crank.

what is gl-4 or gl-5.also you say i should not use any oil on the seal surfaces on the case halfs why what will happen if i do .i did not use anything like a 10w 30 i used actual 2 stroke pre-mix oil klots will that work just as good.
