locogato11283 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 ive had a +6 on my 10mm cub banshee bike for like 4 years now. ive gotten so used to it i can whip my bike around with no problem. id say +4 or +6 will be fine for duning. at first, it might seem long, but its really not. id have no issues getting around anywhere with a +6.

ltd.yfz Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I've had my 6 for 4-5 years and love it. The only problem i have with it is when turning the bike around. In some the treeshots i do there's no room to whip it around and the turning radius is to big. but oh well doesn't happen often. If fact when i get my new motor i'm going to an 8 over.

HOODWORKZ Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Do you ever go on two wheels when turning because when I first went with my haulers I was tipping my bike turning on the flat stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r/atvshee Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I used to dune my 4mm cub with a +6 without any problems. At first it seemed like driving a bus around compared to stock length, but i eventually got used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I've used +2, +4 and a +6.. the 6 was good for your average dune riding.. but got a bit hair for me while jumping. I'm not exactly gifted when it comes to jumping to begin with.. The 4 was a good all around arm.. My favorite was probably the +2. Just a lil extra to help keep the front down but was very controllable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play around and what works. When i whip mine i get up towards the bars and hang off the side. What size haulers u running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 When I had my plus 6 my bike was a blast. I had elkas on mine Loco now has my rear shock. Most bikes with long arms have the rearend real high and that makes em tippy. I like em with a lowering link in back the best but I like my bikes low.

jlevasseur Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I had a plus 6 on my dunner for years, loved it. I put a ebach rear spring on it cause Im a big guy and it made it even better. You learn how to use your body to whip your bike around trees in the real sharp tree shots at the bottom when turning around but I have never had a problem. I actually have a plus 10 on mine now and do everything I did with the 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltd.yfz Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 can't you just adjust the preload? Idk, i had my rear shock revalved and resprung, so i don't what they did to it as far as adjustments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
