HammerShee99 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hammer I will ask again. Do you have your paddles on backwards? Nope! Yeah, I just threw them on for that pic, I was in a hurry so I wasn't paying much attention to which wheel/tire I threw to which side. I normally run Razrs, but I just got those when I took that pic so I figured I'd snap some pics with them on the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer1018 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 In your opinion, what does make a motocross Banshee? Personally, I think if it's ridden on a motocross track, it's basically a motocross bike. I'm not on a quadcross circuit, because I wouldn't want to limit myself to just riding tracks, and I couldn't afford to race every weekend even if it's all I wanted to do. I do just fine with it on a track, though. I'm not trying to knock anyones Banshee but things like suspension, wider a-arms, and a wider axle play a big role.. If I could start over, I'd have saved the pipes for last.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imgoodatwhatido Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 i agree with you 100% but i have stock arms and suspension ....and yes the suspension sux but my banshee is not narrow at all...because of my budget i bought offset wheels instead of a $400 axle and $800 a-arms ....regardless it handles about as good as a stock suspension shee is gonna handle...and like i said its a work in progress ...but at the moment i found another complete bike worth the money so im parting this bike out...everything but the motor, wheels , and tires....how do you like those pro taper bars?

HammerShee99 Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I can agree that if you want to be competitive in MX you definitely have to spend a small fortune on suspension for the Banshee. It just depends on how much you're leaning toward building a 100% motocross machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just depends on how much you're leaning toward building a 100% motocross machine. min is completely set up for mx and it is still rough to ride, much much better than a stock or near stock setup , but still rougher than some stock suspension 450s Ive been on. Except mine is wider and turns harder. Here is a pic at the track on a stock susp except the +2 a`s.... It was EXTREMELY hard to ride, and this was with +2 a arms. Offset wheels on stock a arms and shocks is really going to suck! Here is my current setup..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastrthnu Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Nice! An AC Racing bumper would make it even nicer.. Cool colors.. What A-Arms are those? thanks. Im going to get a duncan chrome bumper that resembles the ims intimidators. IMS doesnt make em for banshee anymore. The a`s are asr +3+1 which I had modified for proper squat and will prob be selling them for some burgard +4+1`s soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went there a couple weeks ago on my stock shee.....thought that I could handle this track regardless....HA....was I wrong.. I was whipped on one lap. Is it because of the suspension or what????

I went there a couple weeks ago on my stock shee.....thought that I could handle this track regardless....HA....was I wrong.. I was whipped on one lap. Is it because of the suspension or what???? yea, that was at one of the races back in feb. at big cypress. I was in heat 12 every race and it sucked after being rutted up after all the bikes. Its rough on a stock suspension. Im going to be heading back there soon. The track doesnt look so bad just looking at it and walking it, but it kicks your ass! I havent been riding as much the past month, and need to get the arms in shape for that pump. I run on a twist throttle too. :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITALIABANSHEE Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 It must be tough to ride that track on a twist throttle because your all over the shee, whether doing doubles, turns, rutted dirt bike trails left by the bikes, etc. Like I said you gotta be in either great shape or have a suspension from God. I was so winded that I couldn't believe how tough it is. I couldn't imagine doing that for a living.... but I love the thrill of MX. I only been their once and wasn't use to all the doubles, triples and flat tops so I took it easy. But I when i took a break from the track I would watch the bikes jump those triples like its nothing and they clear the tabletops like its nothing. Can we do that on quads or would we eat it. I'm planning on going to some practice session if I get a chance. They do that on Thurs, Sats and Suns. Let me know if you go out there.... I like to watch you rip it up!

SCEADU Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 DMC, I can honestly say the before I bought my Banshee I did a youtube search and found your videos. They ultimately are what pushed me over the edge to buy one. I love the "can can" with the frog boots. Make me laugh everytime. And the unexpecting 400ex guy is good one as well. Thanks for the great footage. SCEADU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
