SandShots Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I ve noticed that some of you guys are running YFZ shocks on you bansee. How do they work? Are they a direct bolt on? or is there sometype of modification that needs to be done? does it change the stance of the bike? or are these shocks the same dimentions as the banshee stocks?

BigRed350x Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 NO THEY ARE NOT DO NOT THERES INSTRUCTIONS FOR THAT WHICH SOME ONE MADE. GO TO SUSPENSION SECTION No, they don't bolt up. You have to mod your stock mounts and I wouldn't use them unless you have some +2+1 arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandShots Posted July 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 No, they don't bolt up. You have to mod your stock mounts and I wouldn't use them unless you have some +2+1 arms. why does it have to be +2+1 and not just the +2... what will the 1 forward do with those shocks?

kb7kuh Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 (edited) I have them on my Banshee and love them. I had them with stock a-arms and now with +2 +1 and they work even better! Edited July 12, 2006 by kb7kuh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I have them on my Banshee and love them. I had them with stock a-arms and now with +2 +1 and they work even better! They will do ok with just +2 arms. Why don't you have +2+1? It would be dumb not to get that extra inch forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animalman294 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 The +2+1 will make the shee ride more stable anyway. :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducman Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I am running the YFZ 450 front shocks on stock a-arms right now and they are reaaaaaaly stiff but I weight 270 so they work for me. They are longer than the stock shocks so they will raise the height an inch or so in the front. I like the increase in ground clearence, I rarely drag the frame over obsticles now. They would probably work much better on +2 a-arms for most people. They are a big pain in the ass to install in the stock a-arms due to the shockl being to long, I had to unhook the top a-arm from the spindle to bolt it in, and then compress it a little to bolt the top a-arm back to the spindle. You also have to do a little grinding to the upper and lower shock mount and to the lower shock eye to make them fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1952 Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 They are an improvement over stock ,took about 1/2 hour per side to install . There is a how to thread in Suspension Forum complete with pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 i like mine really well so far. rebound is in the stock position, and the compression clicker is 8 clicks in; on stock arms. im probably going to put some more preload in them as well, i just need to remember to bring home a spanner wrench from the shop. i could use a punch/hammer combo, but ill wait for the right tools. i cant wait to tear them down either. after doing my rear, im really pumped about doing my fronts also. new valves and springs should be pretty awesome once its all said and done.
