BenBB Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) Any chance somebody could measure the stock caster angle at the spindle on a stock Banshee? And how about a YFZ450?? I'm thinking that my caster is a little too steep with YFZ450 a-arms and spindles, and it looks like I've got some room on the upper a-arms to move forwards, just tryin' to figure out how much before I start cutting... What I've got is working now but the steering effort seems alot higher. From what I've read about caster & camber, too much caster is going to result in exactly what I've got; it REALLY wants to stay straight all the time, although it is really stable at high speeds it takes alot of input to turn, at any speed (less so at lower speeds but still, more than it was before). I'm guessing my camber is about two degrees (negative) and I don't see any easy way to change it, but I do think it would be easy to shift the upper a-arms forward to decrease the caster angle. Any input? Edited June 6, 2007 by BenBB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsgetthisdone Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I have my caster set at 4* on my aftermarket a-arms, it is stable at speed and not much harder to turn than stock.... You could try shootin for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenBB Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 4 Degrees of caster or camber? I found somewhere that said the frame had 9 degrees of caster but I'm after the angle at the spindle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
