Tires slanted? after yfz swap

[jerod187]

hey just started to look at my bike after i installed the YFZ arms and kfx shocks and if you look at the tires the bottom sticks out a little bit like theyre on a angle almost any ideas why this would be? like i mean theyre not straight up and down the on a angle

idk im not good with alignment but is the camber adjustable if you cant figure it out just take it to get aligned im sure it wont cost much

I think the yfz got a slight angle to them, about how much are you talkin about? I dont think there is any adjustment on those so they should be ok. Can you post some pics?

post pics..why kfx shocks

[jerod187]

I went with thee KFX 400 shocks because i want it the bike to sit higher i dont wantit to be lower then stock for the riding i do, and i got themf or free from my buddy so it just kinda worked out, and here a link to a few pics but im not sure how good you can see the tires

adjust the ball joints on the a-arms.

if you look at the pic you'll notice they're non-adjustable, i'm hoping he could have figured that out himself.

 

it almost looks like it's sitting like that b/c of the longer shock, do you have a different set just to try?

I have YFZ arms also. My left on is straight, but my right front has a ltittle negative camber. I haven't messed with it yet though.

[jerod187]

So you think its just beacause of the longer shocks? and no i dont ahve another shock to try except maybe the stockers! is there anything i can try adjusting

[LIM_Whiteboy4life]

all you have to do is get adjustable upper A-arms but the camber helps some in cornering since tires will big sidewalls "fold" but with some camber the tire doesnt fold onto the sidewall = more front grab.... but there is such a thing as too much camber. YFZ arms normally do that anyway... what happens when you put parts on a quad that its not built for hope this helps :beer:

exactly, those arms are designed for a yfz frame, the front end geometry is obvisouly nowhere near the same on the banshee, although ive never seen a 450 front end on a banshee with that much camber in, some camber is good, helps cornering, but thats just too much, somethin aint right there

Like okbeast said try some other shocks I'd put your stockers back on and see.

[banshee404]

it seems he want to sit high though stockers are gonna make it sit just as low as with the yfz shocks
