PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 The whoops they were sweet I just need to take time and adjust my rear stocker and whoops would be better.. Alot less upper are pumping.. I would say my rider fatigue was cut 50-75%.. 493736[/snapback] Get the rear rebuilt by Elka and you'll again see a night and day difference. Atleast that's how it was for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallrat Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Just little info: You see manufactures like walsh/pep, roll/elka etc... Well the a-arms are actually designed around those shocks... Like my axis are 19'' so I run JRD.... Elkas are 20''... Some are 20 1/4''... PEP are 19 1/2'' etc... Mike 493744[/snapback] Still though, you can use a front TCS w/ any brand of arm as long as it isn't LT. Same w/ Axis, Works, Elka... Actually I take that back, occassionally you see arms that were designed around a remote ressy and they bump piggybacks. Other than that, there might be a c-hair of performance loss, but not anything that most riders would notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should've clarified myself..... we all know that LT and banshee don't go in the same sentence ... With that being said... You can use ANY shock on ANY a-arm as long is it's not LT and for your mahine... If the arms are bumping the rezzies that's bad R&D.... By bumping the rezzys.. you talking about justing's custom creations arms? IMO... TCS is the only people that care about 'shees anymore... Every set of aftermarket shocks I've rode on banshees in the past year have been tcs or badly setup others... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Elka rebuilds stock shocks?How much? 494040[/snapback] You can check their website but I think it's in the $400 range. You can get it done with SSD to match your fronts if that's what you got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallrat Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 TCS is $450...not sure what Elka charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txblueshee Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Damn.. I had derisi redo mine for something like 345$... I can't really remember since it was 3 years ago.... That seems kinda exspensive ... I bought a whole new rear elka from scott for 400$... Used shocks are reallly hit and miss though.. it's best off to know somebody that is pulling there's off... not too sure if I'd chance it on ebay...

Wallrat Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 ECATV is selling a used rear Axis on ebay right now. I was gonna bid on it but then I saw its only comp. adjustable. Called axis up and its gonna be like $500+ to respring/revalve for my weight/swingarm and swap it over to dual adj. I can get a rear axis dual adj. for $710 brand new so that rules that out. Here's the Link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get a rear axis dual adj. for $710 brand new so that rules that out.Here's the Link! 494205[/snapback] I'd buy it for that price... The way my rear link is setup on the hybrid, the rebound is valved into the shock already.. b/c at the time by quad was built JRD wasn't making LT swingarms... it's a LT type link setup.. gained about 2'' of travel over stock.... IMO the average rider can't even take full advantage of the rebound adjust anyway... unless your blasting through stuff at 4th gear plus, you wouldn't ever notice... On a good note.. that shock is coming from a reputable shop.. so the hit n miss theory is out the window ... ECATV built my hybrid... EDIT: I breezed right past the part where it said it was a single rate.... fuck that.. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpeinkc Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) i just tested mine out this past weekend 24mar06 and they are awesome, i was haulin ass and came up on like a 6-8 foot straight drop off, i locked up the brakes, but i still flew, landed it nicely, with the stockers i would have been over for sure, plus the jumping is way better, and they are not streching my ball joints like has been posted,,, imo, buy them, you will love the results the yfz450 shocks ,,,, just to clarify Edited March 29, 2006 by pimpeinkc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallrat Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Axis only makes a single rate for the banshee rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txblueshee Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Somebody on here way back in the day had axis all the way around... hell I think it was walt.... I'm sure walt wouldn't run a single rate rear with as much as he knows about suspension... If todd can make the banshee rear a dual spring than anybody can... I argued with derisi about that for a good hour one day.. it can be done but it just doesn't look like it can b/c the rear shock is so damn short...

racer Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 just call fox or king and order a new 2.5 resi for a truck, or would that be overkill? cause it sure would be cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) My New Custom Creations Arms seem to fit, I can't wait to test tehm out but I might have to wait till october, I have sceen other A-arms that look like they would have hit even worse. I dunno about TCS being the only company who cares, I got just as good of customer service from elka whowere working with me to change to shorter resevoirs because of my problem. But it was better and cheaper to just change -arms. I'm not to happy with TCS at the moment but perhaps if I bug them enough they will fix my rear shock. And I Disagree with the 450 doing everything better than the banshee other than going in a straight line...Maybe on a track but the dunes are another story. A dual rate or self sagging spring on the stock size banshee rear shock would likely just make the rider lose even more travel but would likely be beneficial for an MX track, however a 450 would be better suited for that kind of racing.
