Great write up!! Thanks!!

I have replied to this thread a few times and tired to give as much detail as i can in my first post (what more information are you looking for?). DDQ has been very active in this topic and i got my question answered in no time. Even after my question was answered, i have been reading the thread after a new reply has been posted.

Exactly, that's y I was asking him the question lol

I'm sure the yfz shocks are decent and all, but how good are they compared to a set of aftermarkets?? Especially for mx?

Thanks a lot! Uve been a great help. Now I'll just have to do the research on pricing and see what I can spend.

Thanks for your reply. It was a rough ride, but i just took it slow and made the best of it. and for the suspension, i was thinking exactly that. I was looking at getting +2 A-arms, and a +2 axle. The shocks im not sure about yet as they are the priciest piece of the project. Im looking for something good at a reasonable price. what would you reccommend?

Thanks for the reply. Im looking to go aftermarket on the suspension tho.

I went on a MX track for the 1st time (Calverton MX) and it beat the crap outta me...had pain that same night and next day. I do want to ride MX more often but i dont want it to beat me out like that. Everything on my banshee is stock except the FMF pipes and got a K&N air filter and RAZR's all around. How can i make the ride smoother? Im tryna get the best bang for the buck. I want to upgrade the whole suspension (at least A-arms, front shocks, and rear axle). I wanna keep the stock length swingarm. Please keep in mind that i am not "racing" but just tryna get a more pleasant ride (and softer landings) from it when on the mx track. Thanks -Mike

Check out Calverton MX on long island. http://www.riderplanet-usa.com/atv/trails/info/new_york_14216/ride_d14c.htm

instead of all that ratio crap, i just use Golden Spectro. one bottle straight into a 5 gallon can...works great!

Thanks, i will deffinietly be going with the 87s.. and some Tear-offs =)

Thanks!

Ive been doing some research, and i see that the Scott 87 OTG goggles have good ratings.

im lookin for some goggles...I do wear glasses so i guess i will need a "Over The Glasses" goggle. anybody know goggles that fit well and have enough space inside for glasses?

thanks guys, excellent information. im gonna go with the 20" in the rear...ground clearence isnt an issue for me, but i do like the look of a high banshee. i dont want it lookin like a little toy haha...

hello bansheehqers, im not sure if im posting this in the right section, but im lookin for a new set of tires. Ive made my decision to go with Maxxis Razrs all around. i have stock banshee wheels, so my front tire will be 21x7x10. For the rear, i am debating whether to get the 22x11x9, or 20x11x9. I like the higher hight that the 22" will give compaired to my current ITP MXR4 19" tire. i like drifting and crap like that and ive read that the 22" will affect that. anybody here run 22s on 9 inch rim?? 22x11x9 vs. 20x11x9?

i am getting close to making my purchase, but want more opinions about my jet choices. locogato11283 has recommended me a 280 main and 27.5 pilot. ive read on the forum that FMF fattys like big pilots so im also thinking about a 30 pilot...27.5 vs. 30? also, is 280 main good? or should i go higher to a 300?? Info on Banshee: *No port job *stock carbs *FMF Fatty Gold Series Pipes Info on my location: *Jamaica, New York *About 40 feet above Sea Level *I ride between 40 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit

haha na...its alright man...thanks for the offer though

yea, im checking around...thanks

its nice that they are sponsors and all, but im still not gonna pay $30 for jets. id rather just donate to them or the site if anything....the cheapest ive found is rocky mountain atv &mc...total is about $18....7 dollars shipping...

lol good 1!

im at 25s right now...should i go higher or lower?

F.A.S.T. didnt even have the 27.5 in stock....

i know $30 might not sound like a ton of money or something to complain about, but its a rip off...something that costs less than $3 each, and i need 4 = $12...shipping should be less than 3 dollars...max $15 total...so y should i loose the other $15??
