sootman73 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 So i need new tires bad cuz i cant hook until im in like 4th or 5th gear. my buddies 400ex is running all over me because of it! What do you guys suggest for a good all around tire? and what size? i'm gonna be field riding and running along the side of the road mostly on somwewhat steep slopes and right now i just slide down em everytime the powerband kicks.... Also he made a square track in the field yesterday that i went riding on with him and he was passing me. i'm sure i gotta get used to riding but i have a feeling the +6 swingarm was killing me on the turns...? should i throw the original back on for field and trail riding? Also i couldn't get the right gearing for that track as third didn't let me get into the powerband unless i clutched it and second ran out of revs. track was too short for shifting on straight aways... thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brugal Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Oh damm not a 400ex , lol I dont know what your mods are ,but a +6 swing arm for trails is a bad idea, put the stock back on. As far as gearing,again I dont know your mods but 14\41 stock is a good start or 13\41. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as gearing,again I dont know your mods but 14\41 stock is a good start or 13\41. mods are 410 cc bored, boost bottle, and t5 pipes. other than that im not sure cuz i bought it this way. def needs some tuning cuz i have no bottom end and i can tell it should run better than it is. so when i put the stock back on what should i replace as far as hardware and bushings? i know i need some chain rollers as though are gone now.

I would guess your performance to be the same as a piped banshee. It doesnt sound like it has much for engine mods. The boost bottle is actually a negitave mod. It doesnt gain any thing. A round house swing arm has a carrier that is off set. You crack two pinch bolts loose and rotate the bearing carrier. Here is my round house swing arm.

Michael Jackson Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 heres what my swingarm looks like, along with the crappy tires, and the stock swingarm. anything i need to replace on the stocker? nope youre good to go, thats the stock carrier on there, just bolt up the stock swingarm now, and run a line to the rear brake caliper, they work better with fluid pumping to them before bolting up the stock swingarm, you may as well order a set of bearings for it and put them in while its off ,seach on ebay for "banshee swingarm bearings" should be around $20+ or so for the set of 2 those are the stock banshee dunlops, they suck even when brand new.. you need some MEATS! my 2 personal favs are holeshot GNCC and razr2, thats a whole nother thread and debate in itself though, really depends on your needs and what type of terrain you are riding.. whatever you do, dont buy any kendas , no matter what any tanned and jacked men try to tell you aside from that, i would say your biggest concern should be how it runs , if you are clutching to bring the revs up now, it will only get worse once you put some real tires on with some tread, they will be grabbing 10 times more and putting much more of a load on the motor, if it cant get into the powerband now, it will be even worse with new tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootman73 Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 y ai think ive decided to go with 20 razrs on the back and when i get some extra money razr 2s on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootman73 Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 My last question is about the chain roller right on the stock swingarm. obviously the previous owner didn't worry too much about this as you can tell its been wearing on the swingarm itself. probably see how shiny the swingarm is in my pic above. what roller am i looking for or should i get a chain slider for it instead?

You should get a kit that has the slider and rollers, UPP or Mod Quad for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gofast5 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 As far as tires go almsot anythings better then those.. Ive always been partial to the turf tamers. My other top 2 picks would have to be the kenda knarly for sure and the kenda klaws. You could always get the good old orinal razr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
