metalace2001 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 I have an 01 banshee and I am trying to make it an awsome trail bike (which it pretty much already is) this is my first banshee so any sugesstions on tires and suspension for trail riding would be apprietated. Also anything on better low end torque. It is stock with a full fmf exhast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washburn Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 How much ya ready to spend is the question. Razr 2s all around, +2+1 a arms and Elkas(Look at my sig). For more bottom advance the timing with a timing plate. 2:1 carb setup is good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Jackson Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 rockymountainatv.com best place to get tires ,.and anything else they carry for banshees, razr 2's are the toughest trail tire out there, good traction, tough as hell and last a while, dont get 22's they are huge, the 20's are a big 20 and are plenty big for rocky rutted trails. any kind of aftermarket shocks will be light years ahead of the stock banshee front end, for a arms look for a decent prices chromoly set, no cheap steel, waste of money and you could also get your stock head milled down to raise compression but still run off pump gas while giving a little more lowend for $50 or so in addtion to other things like washurn said, also you could get some low end pipes, like the dmc;s i hear have some nice lowend, pual turner, ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Jackson Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 i hear the fmf's make good low end power, you should definitly get yourself a proper air filter set up, not just for a couple extra HP, but for protection really, those stock air filters do not seal at all, they suck all sorts of crap, get one of those aluminum adapter plates that comes with either a k&n or uni dual foam filter, the adapter plate has an o-ring in it so it seals against the front of the airbox airtight, and the filter connects to it with a hose clamp, should run you 80-90$ brand new. or you can pickup a used setup off someone on here, they are a must have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Jackson Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 if your gona spend that much money for the f8's u may as well get some well known shocks like axis or elkas, you can just get the rear shock rebuilt, the carbs are easy to get off, just take off those rubber intake boots between the carbs and airbox/intake then loosen up the clamps on the other side and wiggle em right out, also i would pick up an outerwear for the k&n if you dont already have one, they are nice and keep alot of shit from getting to the k&n itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
