NBGGUNNER Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Ok first things first im a super newb and dont know a whole lot about modding banshees so please be gentel. So this is what I have, a 2006 with the T6 kit I beleive that comes with the pipes, air box vents, stage 2 unifilter and the perfect jetting kit (I also will be putting on the TORS Eliminator kit and the Toomey Rad later this month) and from what I can tell Phantom hydrodynamics a arms and what looks like the p-51 iShocks on the front and just the stock rear suspention, with 22x7x10 front holeshot XC tires and 20x11x10 Razr rear tires. With this set up what type of mods/tires would you recomend that wouldnt affect the longevity of the motor, I live in Arizona and mostly go out riding in the desert, dirt roads and dirt trails etc. (but would like to make a trip to the dunes sometime this year) Also money isnt really an issue but the benifet would definitely have to outway the cost the next cheeper/comparable mod.

trickedcarbine Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Sounds like a decent set up. The front end on there is nice. As far as mods, keep it simple till you are familiar with it. Stuff like a timing plate and a cool head can wake a bike up. Aside from that, I would pop the clutch cover and inspect everything. These bikes here are not new any more so odds are it could use a few things to help in the reliability department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called them telling them this and a life time warranty on the arm that bent. Well they told me they don't make banshee a arms anymore and there was nothing they could do.

NBGGUNNER Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 i'll get some pics added in a little bit got them tucked away and couldnt snag any good pics.

For the HydroDynamics A Arms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 For the HydroDynamics A Arms?Yeah. They said I can buy 1 LSR arm at there cost and it'll work. I just hung up the phone when he said that. Now I don't know how you ride, but I've had a few extenuating circumstances that may have lead to this bent a arm. But regardless it's more about the customer service I recieved and not the a arm themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so far we have timing plate and a cool head is there any other mods anyone would recommend? Any recommendations on which timing plate and cool head work best.

NBGGUNNER Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I use a chariot. Noss is another good one. Chariot billet timing plate. is Noss for the cool head or do they do timing plates too? I definitely like the Chariot timing plate looks pretty slick.
