Yeah ditch that stock banshee suspension all of it is junk. I used to always throw money into the motor first, and never touch the suspension. After finally upgrading to better than stock aarms, shocks, swing arm, and axle. I said to myself "why didn't I do this year's ago?" It was seriously the best upgrades ever. I will for now on always will upgrade the suspension first on any quad I buy or build. I am doing that to my 250r right now.
