ballistic Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 I took apart my banshee about 6 months ago and got caught up in some other things and let it sit. I'm putting it back together and I can't figure out how the chain is supposed to be routed on this part. The way I have it now the chain rubs against B so I'm sure it's not correct, any other way I route it the chain seems to have a lot of slack. I know that the polished part in the pic is not stock but I bought the banshee with it on so I don't know exactly what it is... Also, the sprocket for A is kinda worn out, is this a big concern? It ran great before I took it apart. Please help Quote
locogato11283 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 chain needs to go over C. worn sprockets cause chains to jump off. if i were you, id get rid of that whole setup. you adjust the chain tightness back on the swingarm where the carrier is. Quote

Ok, makes sense... but if I leave the chain where it is at on the bottom sprocket it looks like it rubs on B still.... right now both are hitting B. Also, can I really just throw this part out and adjust it on the swingarm? If so, why would this part even exist? Thanks! Quote
fastbanshee8 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 The chain runs over the top sprocket, and runs under the bottom sprocket. Quote

MILO Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 that is an amp link isn't it? aren't they supposed to help control chain slap and over tensioning when under pressure, like jumping etc? i've heard they are more of a PIA and waste of money than anything. bud you can absolutely ditch that thing and use the stock adjustment system if you wanted to.

Ok, sweet. So I have it totally backwards then. It seems like it's going to rub stuff if I reverse the way it is now. I don't have the stock rollers so can I run it with just removing this part?

dajogejr Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 What they actually do is remove chain slack so your rear shock doesn't stiffen up under hard acceleration. In theory. In the annals of worthless banshee products, it goes something like this: 1. Boost Bottle 2. Roost Boost 2 1/2. AMP Link Use your stock upper and lower rollers. Quote
