ionroller Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I am having problems launching my banshee??? Should I start in first and burn my clutch or put it in second and drop it I have 21 inch ( I think mud shark) tires on the back at 3 PSI, pretty knobby. Track will be either dirt after snowmobiles destroy the grass or a packed down wheat field. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilBanshee Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) I am having problems launching my banshee??? Should I start in first and burn my clutch or put it in second and drop it I have 21 inch ( I think mud shark) tires on the back at 3 PSI, pretty knobby. Track will be either dirt after snowmobiles destroy the grass or a packed down wheat field. Thanks I always start in first on grass. I have a Stock swinger as well. Never had a issue. Pavement I start in second and Ride the Clutch out. Mud i start in second and dump it. 90% of the time im on grass dragging. Im yet to loose around my neck of the woods If i were you id start in first and play with the throttle until you get her rolling then grab second. Alot of guys i race just spin and not move anywhere due to over powering the terrain, By the time they get traction i have 25 feet on them and the race is alll over..

ionroller Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I need to try second and drop it..Trying not to spin is pretty hard, my power doesn't come on till pretty high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Buy some pro wedge 2's. Only thing that works for me. Check my vids for proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockbeast Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Seriously its all in the tires I ran the dunlop radials with lugs cut off. The pro wedges probably work better. I tried fucking around for along time tring to do things to get my shee to hook better in the grass and not spin. Dont waste your time get the tires that rip up a big ass chunk of dirt/grass as you dump it in second pinned. You will never be able to control your shees power down low because it has none with a dune port. So pro wedges and dump it in second.

RagunCajun Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Depends on gearing and power. With my 15/41 I can't launch in 2nd unless I know it will spin. But a few practicing will let you know what you can or can not do. With my override I don't lose much time launching in 1st. I usually have to let off cuz the front flies up.

Yea basically.. gotta know what your bikes gonna do and hows its gonna react... And as you stated throttle control.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 And i also i forgot to mention, i have to fight the front end coming up. But i refuse to stretch it. Once your bike hooks well and set set up for strait line fun, it wont be that great for playing around(donuts etc). It's a compromise.

It's a compromise. Not a compromise at all unless you are talking stretching it more than 6 over. Just my opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 It is to me. Harder to turn, do donuts, wheelies, trails etc. Now if I road in sand all the time, a longer swing arm wouldn't bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
