Buckeye513 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Doing XC races and 2 hours of straight hard riding is a bear and a half pulling two carbs up. Anyone have any suggestions on lightening up the throttle pull on banshees? Thanks for any input. Not really wanting to switch to a 2:1 intake.

BlackandYellowBanshee Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 They do make lighter springs or you can cut yours. Iv heard of people grinding down the spring material to make the spring lighter. At that point you might as well buy springs for 5 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedder Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 I've always cut coils (PWK's) on my asphalt Banshee's. Be careful to only take a 1/4 off at a time because once you close you can go to far and ruin them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Reynolds Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Single carb all the way. You gain a few horsepower down low and lose maybe 2 on the high end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
