Man-O-Steele Posted May 26, 2012 Report Posted May 26, 2012 if your on a low budget dont waste your money on an atv. Quote
banlee Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Posted May 26, 2012 alright so whats the best set up to look for on eBay? P.S. new to the sit and i absolutely love it! Quote
Strm Trpr Posted May 27, 2012 Report Posted May 27, 2012 How about you tell us what's on the bike now. If you're totally stock, then I'd start with the following: Used set of either Toomey T5's or Pro Circuit Pipe Set. Send your stock Reed cages to Wildcard Racing. For $50 they will port them and install Boysen Dual Stage Reeds. Get a K&N w/Outerwear in your Airbox and remove the lid. Eliminate TORS, clean out your Carbs and install a new larger main jet that is now needed after installing the pipes. For example, with K&N Pod Filters, my Toomey T5's like 290 main jets at sea level in 65* weather. Get an adjustable timing plate and advance the ignition to +4*. That should blow your hair back for a little while. Quote

Either way, these are good ideas on things he could do. Quote

banlee Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Posted May 27, 2012 How "low" is your budget? i would like to keep it under $1000. but if theirs something i cant go with out i can push it to $1500 Quote
banlee Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Posted May 28, 2012 You can do quite a bit for $1500 What would you suggest? Quote
Infamous039 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 Get your self a set of Elka Stage 1's ($500 new) or Works Dual Rate Shocks and you will be happy Quote
zach45 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 Get extended a arms.. Looks for any aftermarket shock that is ment for a banshee... Buy cheap and have them rebuild and re-valved for yourself, or buy new.. Get a gforce/tusk axle, then adjust your rear shock correctly. Your bike will be night and day...

bbcmudtruck Posted May 30, 2012 Report Posted May 30, 2012 I'd rebuild, revalve and respring your stock rear shock. Look for some good +2+1 front arms and then start hunting down some shocks. I had the cheap dual rate works steelers and they are a complete waste of money if you plan on jumping anything. Elka stage 3s are where I'd start as far as shocks go. If you can afford more, then look into the Fox Float Evols. Quote
