john45 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 i Just bought brand new +3+1 FullFlight A-Arms for my 03 banshee, i was wondering if anyone who has the arms or knows about them knows the settings for adjusting them. Could anyone help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 If you dont MX race then I would have recomended getting a pair of a arms that are not caster adjustable. If you dont get the caster set right then It will be hard to steer went the bars are turned completly and easy downt the middle or vs versa. It is nice to just set the camber and toe and not have to mess with the caster. No one will be able to tell you to turn a cetrian joint 10 times out from fully seated. Your going to have to find that out on you own. I would suggest getting a good angle finder. Here are the specs that LSR recomends. http://www.lsracing.com/img/Guide_21.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 i run 5 to 6 degrees of positive caster ( top of spindle slanted toward back of bike) and 1 degree of negative camber (top of wheel leaning in toward bike) I also run 1/8 inch of toe in. This setting works great on a dune and trail bike. The more caster the more difficult the bike is to turn, but more stable at high speed (bike wants to stay straight) Asphalt drag bikes run up to 12-13 degrees. All measurements should be made with rider on bike as settings change as suspension is loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
