RagunCajun Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 So you asked what swing arm, most said stock (or shorter) and you will do what you want. I get it. Enjoy the +2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLP pipes don't hit hard. You aren't making a ton of power. If you don't have studded tires you aren't getting a ton of traction. It's a banshee. It pulls hard but as a rider you can handle it without having to lean over the tank to keep from flipping over backwards. I've ridden a 95hp serval with a shorter than stock swingarm on a mx track. There were no problems. Go with a stock length swingarm. You won't have any problems with nerf bar clearance and it's PLENTY long for a 100+ hp motor if you decide to build one in the future.

RagunCajun Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 My mistake, the way i read your above post made me think +2 was what you will go with. So now with that out the way, now it's time for your next upgrade. It never ends. But that's a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb90 Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Lock out clutch cover. I dont have a lock out, i want easy access to the clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearnot Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 What are you running up front? That's where the banshee suffered the most. Being only 43 inches wide stock a 2(Wide)+1(Forward) a-arm will lengthen your wheelbase and positively effect the poor chassis geometry. The front stock shocks are a joke and what I'd replace before anything including stock exhaust. Seems like you are going for quality of life improvements and yea a quick change and not having to drain coolant to fuck with the clutch is pretty nice.

I dont have a lock out, i want easy access to the clutch I have a lock up clutch but with a stock cover. Very good idea to get the cover. It's so much easier. Plus they look cool. I want to get one as well as the stator cover with bearing support. I been putting it off for lets see, 10+ years now. Tyler Faith in the bansheehq fb group wrote a lot of long post about proper suspension set up. You could always check this post for info.

caleb90 Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Turned the compression up a few clicks on the resi, left my spring pre load alone.that seemed to help for what ever reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb90 Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 One thing i noticed today, is the swingarm has side to side play on the clutch side. Bearing isnt bad the whole thing including the dust cap is moving on the bolt. Every thing is torqued to spec, curious if the all balls pivot tube is bored slightly to big for the swingarm bolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb90 Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Got the play figured out. Went to recheck torque on the swingarm bolt. Somthing must have been pinched when i put it together and torqued it down. Nut was still lock tighted in place but the swingarm bolt was loose, must have broken free what ever was pinched and loosed every thing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
