Banshee 79

I just put a minus 1 inch LSR swingarm on my banshee. Does anyone know the correct chain length(# of links) for it. Thanks!

I've always wondered who makes there swingarms, they look exactly the same as Janssen racing swingers. I was on the phone with Mike from asr and he said the same company makes both of there products. I was going to buy one of there swingers but I ended up buying a lonestar, because after I bought my asr +3 up 1 a arms the least amount of caster I could get was 12 degrees before my a arms hit my shock, and I was looking to get 5-7 degrees. My arms have been holding up good but whats the point of adjustable arms when the minimum caster you can get is 12 degrees which is way to much!

What company makes there products, where are they located?

Those have left hand threads don't they, make sure your threading it on the correct way.

You have to mount the splitter somewhere unless you want it just hanging there.

That's a common problem with the Galfer T-Fitting, the stock Yamaha bolt is to large to go thru the Galfer fitting. There should be two other holes on your frame fitting that is not threaded, mount it to one of those with the correct size bolt and a nut with lock washer on the back of the frame tab. It's a little tough to get the nut on due to the fuel tank being in the way, but you should be able to thread it on there. I had the same problem, hope that helps!

Works,Custom Axis, and PEP all recommend 200 pounds. Elka and Ohlins recommend 150 pounds

Have you measured your caster yet with a angle finder, I was just curious because with the big loop towards the front it would seem like you would have 20+ degrees of positive caster. It sounds like ASR is blowing smoke up our asses, 4 different people has got different answers from them. Hope we get this shit figured out.

When your sitting on the bike.

I E-Mailed ASR with pictures of how my top arms were put on and he said they were on the correct way. Take it for what it's worth!

I sent you another PM, Here's a good guide to look thru when you start adjusting you front end http://www.lsracing.com/img/Guide_21.pdf

Thats what I was thinking too, I was going to adjust my caster to 5 degrees but when I do the damn shock hits the upper arm. Should have bought some laeger's or lonestar, I have fully adjustable arms and cannot adjust them how I want them

Here's some pics. of mine with the hoop towards the rear, it has about 1/8-1/4 inch clearance from the shock at 7 degrees positive caster, so they will go that way, but I have no idea if that's the correct way.

Here's some pics. from there old website of some 400EX arms, the loop is towards the rear, but I don't if there different than the banshees or not. You would think the directions would show what arm goes where but they don't. http://www.quadpartsguy.com/images/DSC00407.JPG

Yea you definitely need the four jam nuts on the outboard heim's I know that for sure.
