stu Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 id say flipping your front and rear wheels would be best for you and its free! the fronts you will need to invert the valve stem and cut another hole in the outer part of the rim for a new valve as it will hit the brake rotor. this will widen the quad and make it more stable round a track as for other mods it all depends on $$$. how much do you have to spend and we can help out more, is your bike stock now?? stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee mx Posted April 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 yea the bike is pretty mutch stock just know exept from leager front arms, renthal bars , and mx tyres mounted on red label rims. as far as money goes i can be quite flexable as i have got a good paying job ,( and my supporting dad). thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 with a banshee its entirely down to $$, if you got the cash it can be whatever bike you want id defo start with some pipes, then milled head, lightened flywheel, air filter, reeds, (then porting perhaps?), and have a play around with the gearing until you find what suits you. id get some front shocks on that bad boy if $ allows and then things like shortniing the swinger come next! a steering damper is a massive help too i hope your job does pay well.........your about to start modding a banshee!! ive never been able to stop.... stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee mx Posted April 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 kk kl is there any specific pipes or shox u would recomend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 For a mx track that isn't to big Suspension is #1. The banshee has plenty of pwr for most basic mx track. As far as suspension and shocks go... +2 wider on the front Wider axle -2 swingarm The best shocks you can afford Sounds like you already have good tires and a-arms Play with the gearing, then if you need more motor start with the motor mods. One cheap one that will help is cutting the head .030. You can do that cheap and will add to the bottom end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheefreak Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 You can PM Boonman, he will give you a very fair price on milling the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banshee mx Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 are you guys still on a thumb throttle or a twist grip? i find the thumb more controlabl when it comes to mx?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scottish Tree Badger Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Unless you've had years of riding motorbikes, then stick with the thumb throttle. Especially if you're doing a lot of MX. ... I bought my 'Shee at the end of last year which had been fitted with a twist. I did get used to it pretty quickly and on long trails it was great, but for the MX tracks I found it was easy to get out of control. ... Needless to say, I just changed mine back to a thumb throttle. About your modding, have you tried looking at quadsportuk.co.uk? Tom's a racer, his prices are good, and he's based near Edinburgh. You'll pick up a 2+2 G-Force axle from him for about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 The banshee is my first quad. I use to only ride dirtbikes and I'd never put a twist on my banshee. You have to push and pull the handlebars to much. YOu don't use your body as much to turn or hang onto the machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
