Recommended Posts

Hey guys so i was just out riding and i was pulling some wheelies and after i landed a wheelie my banshee seemed to be really low on the front end so i got of and one of my shocks are stuck (compressed in) and doesnt let the front end come back up. Does any one know whats up? or how i can fit it?

 

Thanks

Yea it's a stock shock. So there's no way to fix it for now? how much can I get a pair of yfz shocks for?

You bent the shaft at some point while riding, and when you jumped, you compressed the shock past that bend in the shaft, and the piston is jammed up against the inside of the shock body. I've seen it done hundreds of times. John is right, Throw them away. If you absolutely can't buy aftermarket shocks, stockers can be picked up for 15-30 bucks a pair.

lol, that reminds me of a trip to PA a couple summers back

friend was notorious for having issues with his banshee , we fixed his floats from sticking and pouring gas the day before.. then on the 2nd day... we are stopped on the trail waiting for him to come around the corner.. he comes flying around.. stops..gets off and says his banshee is handling weird... his front right shock is stuck totally compressed, bottomed out.. it was pretty funny, he bounced up and down on it a bunch of times, and it came unstuck.

the bike im talking about got parted out on here about 2 years ago by another member from NJ who bought it. :D
