yea i measured the camber at the tires. caster will be whatever it was when it was stock. i didnt measure the toe angle but it was about 1-2 degrees of toe-in.

started murdering mine today. used rust-oleum black primer and flat black paint. i have 1-2 more coats to do but they look pretty good so far. got some bubbles on top of the rad shroud. dont really know what happened on that one. gotta let it dry good and sand it down again.

bumping this up. AKHeathen: in response to your request on the other thread: Hard pack, loose gravel, mx, sand pit, trails/woods, little jumping, whoops. Pretty much anything I can get at. I ride pretty aggressive and fast but i like to just mess around sometimes. It was about 1/2" of negative camber on each side

go on ebay. there are fullflight a-arms all over. theyre pretty good for the price (around $350). i think they have a couple different options but i would go with +2+1's

any way i can fix it without replacing the basket? dont have the cash for a new basket right now.

i pulled my clutch cover off and pulled out my clutch. i am wiping and drying the bad oil i put in it off and i will try it out tomorrow. when i was checking out my kickstarter i found that the main kick gear is loose. also the clutch basket was a little loose from the gear. i am not very experienced with the inner workings of motors so i took a couple videos for you guys to check out. tell me if this is bad or acceptable. kicker (sorry the videos kinda shitty. you can kinda see it move towards the end) clutch

Yea I understand. I will check it out.

Here is one of the bungs I drilled out today. I still have to drill out 3 more and tap all of them but its progress.

I can set camber with the ball joints when I'm done. I'm just gonna try to get the bungs all perfectly aligned for now.

yea man, i cant wait to get it back together!

Im starting a new thread to make this just a project thread instead of the "planning a project" thread that the other one was. anyway, here are some pictures of my progress. i also got my ball joints today (ES2074R special ordered from NAPA) and reamed out my spindles to fit. my reamer wasnt big enough so i may have to grind down the castle nuts so the holes line up. first thing i did was grind out the back of the shock mount to accomodate for the yfz shocks im getting. i ground out the welds on the lower mounts to pop out the cast ball joint tabs. i then cut off the top tabs and ground the arms clean. i marked out the lines and cut for where the new joints were going to be installed lined up with the original ones. here are the 3" x 1" steel slugs im going to be drilling and tapping for the new joints. i went with 3" because i want to widen my front end a little bit. it should be about 1.5" wider on each side hope you guys like my progress and i will be updating tomorrow. also: do you guys think extending them like that would throw off my geometry? also, because im using yfz shocks should i kick the angle of the bungs up a little bit to help the ball joints sit even when not under load? or should i move the shock mounts down a little bit?

pm sent.

can you wait till saturday or until i get my new shocks? should be in the next 2 days. i will send them as soon as i get my new shocks.

great looking shee. i wish i could afford em.

you should be running around 97 octane with that compression. i have the same problem right now with the starting, its because of the temperature drop, your jetting is too lean for the temp. go up a couple sizes in the main jet and it should start fine.

like i just said. i will be selling my stock shocks in a week or so. and you will be the first in line for them if you are interested.

im pretty sure theyre all universal. and i might be selling my stock banshee shocks in a week or so if youre interested.

looking for some cheap +2 front brake lines. let me know what you have. thanks. -Ryan

the bolt is called a banjo bolt. you can get them on motosport.com or any motorcycle shop.

yea i had a good summer too, then i put a lift and tires on my jeep and bought a banshee

bump...anyone?

thats true but i really dont like the look of them. i love the body style of the 96' and 97'

man i wish i had 1 grand to put into the shee, let alone 6.

nice score! both the shee and the wife

alright guys. whats on your wishlist for the banshee this holiday season? heres mine: Maxxis Razrs 20x11-9 ITP T9 Black 9x8 rear rims new Axle Bearings new Swingarm Bearings new lugs front/back Durablue Posi-lock axle nut Tether Kill switch bar mount conversion 7/8" - 1 1/8" mounts Pro Taper Contour oversized bars: Gold ATV-mid bend and some Pro Taper full diamond grips and maybe some BHQ Gear plus: im going to paint my plastics black, getting some YFZ shocks tomorrow, doing the a-arm adjustable ball joint mod. so the shee should be lookin pretty good in a few weeks if santa brings me everything i wanted
