I jst read that nd one part ddnt make sence. . .the part u weld. U shouldnt weld it to the crank. U weld kindof on the inside of the pipe . . So it makes an edge. Then grind it so its thin enough to fit behind the bearing.

Make a bearing puller. Thats what i did. Take a pipe thats id is the bearings od. Now cut it about 4 to 5 inches. Then cut it in half so u hav 2 half circles. . If u know what i mean. . .now get a flat square metal plate about a quater inch thick and size of the bearings diameter by the bearings diameter. Im nt sure what size the bearing is but u gana hav a flat plate with 2 half circle pipes welded on it. Itl be a pipe again but hav cuts 180 degrees from eachother. So u can flex open and close the thing to fit over the bearing. Now if u slip it ova the bearing, the part that touches the crank web, u should tac weld it and grind it down so when u tighten it over the bearing there will be small bumps going in behind the bearing to grip it. Ok when thats done u must dril a hole in the midle of the plate. Any size. What u gana be doing is u gana weld a nut over the hole and a bolt with a sharpend point is gana screw in. So now u jst pop it over the bearing, tighten it with a hose clamp. And screw the bolt in making sure it hits the midle of the crank shaft. Then it comes off. . .hope i explaind proply. . .

What u guys think bout back wheel spacers? I got 2 on each side. How are they 4 jumping? And everyday riding. Also how are front shock lowering brackets 4 jumps? U know the ones that space the bottom of the shock outwards to make the shee lower?

I also wanted to ask. .does the engine number give a year? Or only the frame vin?

Im buying a banshee. .guy said it is a 2006 model. But the engine number is 3GG-184095. Can that be posible? And i paying 27000 south african rand 4 it. Ive only paid half so far. What price should i bargain him 4 if it aint a 2006? Im so pist!

Any1 got any tips on what i should check or replace to be safe?

I would say start with preload. Set it rite till the top so u get front low. Or atleast so ur back nd front shock share weight fairly. Also watchout sumtimes when u set the preload till the top, when the bikes in the air the springs are dangle up down nd around and can damage the thread. .ok the secondly set ur rebound and compresion half. Do ur bigest jump and c if it bottoms out? If it does set the compresion abit up. The idea is to get ur softest compresion that will stop u from bottoming out cause 4 whoops the softer compresion the beta. But u gota evan out with ur jumps. Once thats set hav a go at the whoops and set ur rebound so that its not to springy to bounch u around and also not to slow so when u ride ova smaller bumps its quik enough to put the wheels down. 4 the back what i like doing is first the compression jump thing i explaind first. Then 4 rebound i ride around a kindof fast bumpy corner. . .that way u wil notice the springyness of the shock. If the rebound is 2 much its gana bounce up nd feel kak. . .2 little its nt gana grip much. . Itl feel smoother but the grip aint good. Nd ya thats how i do it. Hope it helps

The fox shocks hav preload adjustment but im scared that if i set them on their lowest im not gana hav any travel? And also i noticed that if u set the preload a little lower than half, when the bikes off the ground the springs dangle around? Ohya those brackets that u put at the botom of the shock to lower it. . .whats ur opinion on jumps with them on?
