got1banshee Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 I have noticed alot of banshees with dents in the muffler right about here on both sides. Why is that??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Most likely from rocks getting flung up by the tires. I got a small one like that on my right silencer, in about the same place. WhiteBrothers puts a dent in their silencers so when the rear shock is compressed the muffler doesn't hit the brake calliper. At least with the E-series silencer anyway.

brugal Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Most likely from rocks getting flung up by the tires. I second that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
got1banshee Posted March 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Well I have seen several banshees like that and I would almost agree about the rocks flying up. BUT there is a dent on both sides in the exact same place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 maybe they bottomed their shocks and hit the silencers on the axle. is that the rear?? i cant tell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotulMonsta Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 It's all stock back there? I know aftermarket swingarms have a problem with the caliper hitting the silencer due to the placement of said caliper..they moved up on top of the rotor instead of behind like stock. Anyways..Are you running aftermarket suspension? I really can't think of anything back there besides the brake caliper that would make a dent like that.

2004LEBanshee Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 You have to do that to install new muffler bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreak Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 those dents are not from any rock.. no way... they are from bottoming out and hitting the caliper... i have seen rocks stuck in the duels of a big rig doing 35 before it comes out and not leave dents like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
