snowprophet1 Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 I might set my banshee up for just drags, and picked up a used 2-4 override. If I use it properly so as not to trash the shifting forks, how have people made out w/this setup? On average, how likely is it to grenade the tranny/motor? (on dirt or pavement?) I would like to be able to switch back and forth from dirt to pavement w/minor changes. Changing the tranny from stock back and forth to override might take too much time (or maybe not?) Fill me in...I'm putty in your hands! THANKS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYUK Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 i run a 1 to 4 override. they are a must for dragging. no good for regular riding. you gotta stay on the gas.when off the throttle in an override gear you gotta cclutch it.i ran mine all spring and summer no problems.

snowprophet1 Posted December 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 In a pavement situation, do you recommend a wheelie bar, so as not to let off the gas when having the front end come up too high? Also, in a dirt situation, if I am racing an uphill drag (which I went almost 2 yrs straight undefeated, until my brother at the last race), it seems to be a very fine line between overspinning or wheeling off the line...if I have to let off the gas for the traction or too much wheelie, I guess I'd wreck the shifting forks/everything that the shifting forks wreck? If I let off the gas enough to gain traction but not enough to let the tires hold the motor rpms up like when you coast, will all be ok? I just want to get in the right habits before putting it in. THANKS! Of course I'm not a pro rider, but I am very good on the lights, and not new to dragging entirely. I'm into sleds, but finding out banshees can be addictive.

NYUK Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 everyone with an override has let of the gas getting out of shape one time or another.i have done it and not damaged my tranny.a wheely bar is a good idea in dirt or asphalt.you just got to remember to clutch when off the gas in an override gear.

snowprophet1 Posted December 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Thanks! I'll be putting in that override for sure!. Do you have any place that sells affordable wheelie bars, or do you have any specs that I can fab one myself? Until this month, I've been a welder since '98, and have access to all different kinds of stock and cnc/mills/welders/friends. Thanks!
