Hi Guys,

New registration to this site, Although I have been watching this forum for quite a while.

You guys have some terrific information and knowledge.

From the start I must admit I don't have a shee, What I have is a 1990 yamaha TZ chassis which is getting a shee engine in it.

I am a bit light on info at the moment because I don't want to give a lot away about what my plans are for it ( capacities) I will post more info as the engine gets closer to completion though . At this stage I am waiting for some shee barrels I purchased off Ebay to arrive from the US. Then when I get them I am sure to have some more questions.

Just as an interesting note.

Rd and RZ forums never mention the difficulty with gear changes or Star mods. I have raced my classic RD250 LC and RD350 LC for five years now and never had selection issues I can only remember 2 or 3 times missing a gear (it is just one of those things I don't think about). But a few weeks ago I leant my bikes to a mate for a track day and he complained constantly about how hard it was to change gears. So I will be doing the star mod and replacing the roller on the detent pivot

Well looking forward to many debates and discussions

Regards

Ken C

Welcome aboard the HQ Ken !

 

It seems to me that alot of Yamahas have a "notchy" shift to them (usually between 1st & 2nd) , the RZ shift forks and shift cam are superior to the Banshee, due to the fact the forks have roller bearings on the guide pins and the channels in the drum are cut a little softer. The addition of the RZ shift forks & drum along with the modded shift star will really make a noticeable difference to the shifting manners.
