How can I get my Banshee to turn Left better?

[motodrumer58]

I have -2 swinnger R1 shock on the rear and blaster shocks on the front. Sway bar and front lowering kit. My 310R turns effortless.

Im running Flat track ice. Any suggestions?

when in doubt GAS IT!

That's the method Im using!!!! I just dont understand why my R turns on a dime and the shee won't

Well motodrummer, before it warmed up I turned about 125 laps of testing different stuff out. That Blaster and R6 set up is amazing considering the price and the fact that I can only tell very slight difference between the blaster shocks and a custom afco setup I rode on white lake last year. For LEFT ONLY circle racing you can get much more agressive on the dial in. Try indexing all of your studs on the bike so that the slot is going from about 10 o'clock to about 4 o'clock when looking down at the top of the tire. Not sure what your front shocks are set at but try putting the right front about 1 or 2 clicks firmer. Last but not least run the right tires at about 1-2 psi over the left side. Don't worry about going over the max operating pressure, we're just running ice not trails. once you get these adjustments down, get the sway bar as stiff as it can go with out pushing straight through the turns. SWAY BAR LAST! make sure every thing else is prime, then enhance it with the bar.

Do you run a lowering kit in front? Is your rear lower than the front?

We will have to go practice sometime.

Check out how bad the banshee was set up

I was fighting it but I did not know how bad it was till I saw these pics.

That is exactly what turned me on about my first 250r, i could ride it all day long, and not be wore out. 10 laps on my arm pulling banshee, and im wore smooth out. your rear axle looks narrow, is it stock?

It is stock and I did not use my rear wheel spacers.

I have to put some a arms and replace second gear before Sat.

Getting that thing a little wider will help you tremendously! I am running a -3 swingarm, lonestar axle, and +2 front arms, pep zero preload shocks, stock rear, and it turns great. as for secong gear, who needs it? LOL run WFO!!

No on the lowering kit, just some +2 +1 armadillo A-arms with the blaster shocks set on the softer side, but the front still sits higher wich is crucial to getting that rear to hook up. It's getting colder again so we'll have to ride. pm me a number to reach you at and once the lakes are ready again I'll give ya a call.

If you want to go wider in the rear hit me up for a great deal on a +2 adjustable g force axle. I sell alot of them from RMATV. Not at retail.

put your wheel spacers on your right side should help keeping the quad from going up on to wheels
