xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I can`t see why you couldnt notice but with that +4 swinger your front end shouldnt come up. if you port your shee i think all your mods will contribute to a different ride. i noticed a difference with just the +4 timing. all i can think of is check your compression.

chevy7398 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 look like you really really need to get some tires on that thing, if your running those stockers your just probally just spinning and not going. get ya some good tires so you can hook up and get that power to the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jackson Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 i would have to guess the +4 swinger is completely pointless on your banshee, its probaly not doin anything but hurting your traction and adding weight, no reason to have such a long swinger with just those mods... am i wrong?

For the hills i shoot i have a +2 and the front stays down. i think +4 with them mods its pointless but i`m sure it looks better lol. for me it would be over kill.

Michael Jackson Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 yea extended swinger for hill shooting is definatly a good idea, but for everyday riding, its pointless where do you buy those super swampers anyway man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave I. Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I dont think that the +4 swing arm is pointless. When I had similar mods (bolt ons) I couldnt keep the front end down ever when I would try to launch. That was even launching in second gear with stock gearing. I would have bought a +4 if I had kept my bike in that form. I dont know who made the rules of how much of a swing arm you can run but I dont think they apply to everyone. As for the reason why you dont feel any performance gain. I didnt really have any seat of the pants change with any of the mods you did other than the +4 timing. If you didnt feel anything with a timing change you should double check and make sure you have it installed correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider1026 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 if u used a degree key u may have put it in backwards and retarted the timing 4 degrees insted of advancing it.. that would kill a lot of power.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricehater Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I have a ricky stator timing plate and i am 99% sure i advanced it and didnt retard it It ran good but i thought i would feel it pulling harder ... When i installed the pipes it was a HUGE difference with these mods only slightly better ....Last time i rode was at pismo beach ... and this time i was at 3000 feet maybe the elevation was tricking me?? I installed the +4 swinger after i realized beer + sand = rubbing my grab bar on the ground and hanging on for my life I probably only have 25 hours on the engine... i didnt check the compression but i think it should be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdust Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 trust me loose the stock tires and get some holeshots or something that power will show up real quick. and if u get a porting job ur gonna shit ur pants. haha. no lose those dunlops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
