poor_boys_atv Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 anyone have the dimensions for the back cut or good pic. Quote
boonman Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Use a.500" end mill, and center it on the neutral detent. Every star is different, and I don't know how you'll clamp it. I put them in a vice on the mill, and go about .740" off the back jaw. It gets me to a good starting point. I usually have ot move it a few thousandths either way to get it centered. From the top of the star, (while it's laying flat) cut down about .210-.220", and cut into the star about .065". That should put you about where you need to be. If you don't know what I'm talking about, have no idea about machining things, and don't have a vertical mill with carbide tooling, than don't even attempt it. It will be a waste of time doing it, and a waste of time going to the dealer to get a new one... Quote
poor_boys_atv Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Posted February 3, 2006 Thanks thats what I needed to know .dad has a machine shop (FREE WORK) Quote
BigRed350x Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Der, I just took my star and ran the humps over my 8 million rpm metal grinder until the little humps were gone. I an go from 1st to 5th in one click. Beat that! Quote
Shee-Male Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Seriously though, I ground mine, and 2 of my buddy's on a bench grinder and they work flawless. Quote
Spitfire Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 What exactly is the point of the shift star mod? Quote
BigRed350x Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 What exactly is the point of the shift star mod? 468142[/snapback] It makes shifting easier and smoother. Gets rid of that notchy feeling when you shift. Quote
Spitfire Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 It makes shifting easier and smoother. Gets rid of that notchy feeling when you shift. 468149[/snapback] Ohh, so this can be done on any bike, not just a banshee? Quote
BigRed350x Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 If your "any bike" has a shift star, and shifts similar to a banshee, then yes, it can probably be done to your "any bike" I wouldn't go tearing into shit and grinding it up though unless I was totally sure on how it worked first.

WyoDuner Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) I did mine on a bench grinder - JUST THE LOBES - not the neutral back-cut because I don't have a mill as Boonman mentioned. If somebody wants to do this in a bench grinder you just need to be careful not to go too fast and keep the cut surfaces square then polish it when it's all done. Here's a couple of pics of mine: Edited August 15, 2006 by WyoDuner Quote
thegroup Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 so basically all ur doing is smoothing up the side of the star, correct? Quote
