raggedraider Posted December 27, 2003 Report Posted December 27, 2003 does anybody know how to set up a stock suspension? and off set rims ? is wider really better , how wide is too wide? and castor/camber,toe in / out if i " flipp" my stock rims should i adjust my wheel angle ? and how do i measure wheel angle/toe in and tire pressure ? how much air is too much ? is the lowest pressure the best ? id also like to try to see comparisons of setups ( race vs stock/ rec rider ) thanx Quote
SDD Posted December 27, 2003 Report Posted December 27, 2003 There are only two suspension settings you can change on a stock banshee. One being the tire toe in/out and two the front shock preload. Changing the preload doesn't change the bottoming resistance just the ride height. Widening the stance helps with turning to a point. If you get too wide you will hit objects you might have normally been able to ride between. If you get too wide your turning radius grows larger as well. If you flip your rims you still can't adjust your suspension settings but you will put more stress on the spindle and lugs and other front end parts. Air pressure is kind of up to what you like running. In the sand I like to run a little extra pressure so I don't roll a bead off the rim. Too much pressure and you will loose traction. Finally you can't compare stock to race setups. Race is much better since it's not a general setup but rather tuned to your riding style, weight, and abilities. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted December 28, 2003 Report Posted December 28, 2003 wider is better, over 52 inches i would get worried because it would drop the ride hight alot Quote
