hollisatp Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 I know that the stock is crap to start, but Its what I have for now.. Anyone have some simple way to adjust it correctly?? I do mostly dune riding and weigh 160.. Thanks! Quote
KaosBanshee44 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Adjusting Stock What????? Suspension i take it since it's in the suspension section, you talking about lowering, adding pressure etc.? Quote
fastrthnu Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Adjusting Stock What????? Suspension i take it since it's in the suspension section, you talking about lowering, adding pressure etc.? Im pretty certain all stock banshees came with an adjustable rear shock where you can adjust the compression and spring tension. Quote
hollisatp Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Posted January 19, 2009 Im pretty certain all stock banshees came with an adjustable rear shock where you can adjust the compression and spring tension. Yes its a shock question.. I wanted to make sure my suspension was set for my weight and riding style. Anyone know how to dial it in correctly? I have never changed it but think there is a "little" room for improvement.. Quote
CBAIER1206 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 The reason for sarcasm here is because every rider is different as is their preferences. I know your intention is good but to ask what setup is "dialed in" is a pretty vague question. What isn't your bike doing right? Is it too mushy or too stiff? What up? Quote

I just thought there might be a set path to follow to adjust. Sit on it, check the compression of the springs, etc... it is a little soft when I come up to a hill or the bottom of a dune... compresses a little too much.. But the back seems ok through woops.. maybe just the front needs adjustment.. Thanks in advance.. Quote

The rear if your only having problems with it on compression and ok with the rebound. since compression is easy to change I would try adjusting that a few clicks unless you are bottoming super hard. then you will need to increase preload maybe even a spring change. At 160 pounds you really shouldn`t need a spring change Thats in the range of the factory springs, when was the last time your was rebuilt? it may need to be gone through. Quote

They have never had one.. 9 years now...??? if so, what all is involved, time, $$, etc.. thanks! Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Yeah bro those front stockers don't last too much. I would just save up and wait for a deal on shocks.. Just saw some Resi Works in the the Sale Forum $175 & need to be juiced up. Works is down the street from where I work too.. Quote
desertdeweller Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 the rear you could have rebuilt with out any problems. It depends on what you want done and the condition of your shock. I don`t think the fronts can be and even if they could it would be a waste of time and money. Prices will vary from shop to shop and as mentioned before what needs to be done. could be as cheap as a 150.00 to over 500.00 with new valving and spring etc.for fronts as mentioned before buy some good used or a new set depending on your cash flow. check around your area to see if anyone local does quality rebuilds if not your gonna have to ship yours off or oder another set.

hollisatp Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 I hear ya!! CHEAP IS EXPENSIVE!!! Quote
csrmel Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 the rear shock has the spring adjustment, compression and rebuind adjustment. most people don't know there is 2 clickers on the shock. one by the reservoir, and one at the bottom of the shock near the shock mount. Quote
