shee4202 Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 I have been told that you can switch the shifting ass. from a yamaha rz350 to a banshee because the shifting forks have bearings and the shifting is much easier. Has anybody ever done this switch? How does it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Quad Racer Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 its just a matter of putting the rz shift forks into your banshee. Requires case spliting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYUK Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 i have rz forks in my bike,they go right in direct replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shee4202 Posted January 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 I already have the cases split and stripped and half way pollished with old english polish. Is the only diff. between the rz350 and the banshee shift forks the bearings in the rz? Can I use the rest of the banshee parts, like the shift cam or do I have to replace all the tranny parts? Are all the rz years the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
909 Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 i'm finishing this up now. The shift drums are identical so yes, you can replace the forks only. I doubt the shifting will be any better though between a properly setup banshee trans and a RZ. I've never had a shifting problem once the shift star was modified. I did however break a gear so the compelling reason for me to swap was the RZ gear ratios. They're a bit taller so i'm going to be at stock banshee gearing on a built motor. It should pull longer though and be less shifting on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee370 Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 909: are you out of your mind? I have NEVER been on ANY banshee that shifts as good as a banshee w/ RZ forks. I dont care what you do to a banshee tranny... (besides an over ride) it will not shift anywhere near as good as one with RZ forks. The RZ forks drop right in... and yes there is a roller where the fork rides in the drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
