Gotmils? Posted January 22, 2013 Report Posted January 22, 2013 Anybody running these on there banshee Im asphalt I can ride I'm just wondering if anyone is running them seems like they could be helpful Quote
trickedcarbine Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 There is some benefits to running them. Some guys use them to indicate clutch/wheel slip. Check out the lock up thread Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 Anybody running these on there banshee Im asphalt I can ride I'm just wondering if anyone is running them seems like they could be helpful That's funny it seems to be the misconception. If you have a shift light you can't ride. Hell, I don't give a shit if people think I can ride or not. 30 plus years of asphalt motorsports, all my junk has shift lights. We put it on our asphalt quad, it stayed on when hill racing & is put to good use on 300' sand dirt drags. It has provided a very good advantage on 300' because the majority don't use them. Properly used they provide very good information. Quote
Gotmils? Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Posted January 23, 2013 Yeah man I just didn't any trolling about I couldn't ride but yeah man what would be a good rpm to set it at Quote
banshee760 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 I've Ben wanting to put it on my banshee also but didn't know if it was gonna benefit in sand 300 ft or not , what I recommend got mills? Is that u take it to a Dyno and get UR light set to the proper Rpm , probly set it were the bike still makes power on peak rpm Quote
Gotmils? Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Posted January 24, 2013 Yeah and I was thinking about taking it to the dyno and set it like that I just want to be consistent in the 1/8 but how would you plug it up Quote
Joejr915 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 Anyone have a wire diagram for setup a shift light also what type of shift lights u guys run? Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 OK, getting a few questions on this. I really don't like getting into the electronics of our bike. Mainly because I suck at them. I have no wiring diagrams & only know the basics. LOL! This is for a programmable dyna ignition. You need the programing software to make this stuff work. The ignition does a lot of neat things, but their (Dyna) customer service absolutely SUCKS! The shift light requires a small 12v battery. We use a Auto Meter Quick-Lite Shift Light. It's a 2 wire hook up. One lead to 12v + & one to the Dyna accessories wire. There are 3 different ones on the ignition to do different rpm activations. Now, while you are doing this using a Dyna ignition. You might as well hook up the launch limiter. This requires a switched clutch lever. It's a two wire hook-up, of course I have no diagram. Lastly don't ask about the Dyna shift counter/shift kill. Dyna was no help in hooking it up. A buddy & I figured it out. It requires a relay to make it work & no I don't have a wiring diagram. LOL! As for the other guys not using the programmable Dyna. Sorry, can't help much. I have a hard enough time with my own electronics. I'm not promoting Dyna one bit. All this stuff had to be figured out with backyard engineering. Their Customer Service/Engineering Dept. SUCKS! Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Here's the shift light we use. http://www.jegs.com/i/Auto+Meter/105/5330/10002/-1 Quote
Gotmils? Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Posted January 25, 2013 Nice write up but I was kinda pushed away from the launch limiter due to the fact of them bogging off the line maybe there's wasn't hooked up right or maybe the track was hooking hard or maybe it was the clutch but I am not a guru to all the electronic stuff but I am very interest in learning this stuff because I was thinking of building a real big motor but the bigger the motor doesn't mean you will win Quote

We manage low 1.30 60's with a launch limiter & the overall set-up. Quote
Gotmils? Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Posted January 25, 2013 Damn with numbers off the line like that you should run a damn good et Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Damn with numbers off the line like that you should run a damn good et Sure do & that's with a 210-230 lb rider on a 443 cub on race gas with a stock frame. Quote
Gotmils? Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Posted January 25, 2013 I have the exact same setup but I don't have my topend you it will either be a 443 or 497 supercub trying to get some 5.90s to 6.00s on alky Quote
