banshee shocks

[oldnslow1]

question if u ad remote resiviors on banshee shocks will it work and offer more control as far as i can see if u turn the shock upside down and the remotes have comp adjustment i think it should work any one got any ideas

[Woody_YZF]

Do you mean just on the stock shocks? I don't think it would be worth it, but I'm not positive.

I also don't think it would work too well, but I have to admit, I am having trouble understanding your whole statement/question!

[Clink116]

It will not work, the shocks that is the fronts were not designed to be rebuilt or modified. The back however it may be possible.

[oldnslow1]

ok il explain it better if u take the front shocks turn them upside down and ad remote resiviors with compression dampning will the stock valving work with the resiviors what im after is reasons why it will or wont work ie some one with tech back ground

[TRXman86]

you would have to get bigger springs for one, for two, on your landings, the comp. would be to low and you will bottom out hard. i have tried it and it wont work. now as for adding rezies, you should contact a yamaha dealer or a yamaha shop and ask if you can even add rezies to them. i realy dont think you will be able to cause the internal parts are different than a regular gas shock. but it dont hurt to ask. let us know.

id just get all new shocks

[Woody_YZF]

New shocks would seem like a better alternative to me.

A little bit of grinding and $250 will get you set-up w/some YFZ450 shocks. You'll think you just got on the wrong quad.

[oldnslow1]

no one has told my why it wont work yet

I thought this already answered your question.

ok guys got pair of yfz shocks wats the deal on fitting them will they work with standard a arms tried to fit em but seems a bit of work any ideas

[FlattrackR]

The bottoms should bolt up. You'll need to grind the bottom of the upper mounting bracket to get them to fit and have full travel.

I know if you go to bansheehq and do a search, you will find photos and instructions on what and where to grind.

[oldnslow1]

hey guys fitted yfz shocks like they showed but i didnt like it the banshee sat too high since yfz shocks are about half inch taller than banshee so what i did was cut the lower shock mount and plat out of the a arm then drilled a hole thru the a arm to run bolt tubes thru the rear one threaded so u could run a bolt thru a arm to act as a mount this lowerd the ride hight bout half inch lower than standard man it rides soooooooo nice im racing the first rnd of victorian motox champs this weekend ill let u know how i :yum

[2fun]

So how did it go??:

[oldnslow1]

hey guys worked a treat front end felt soooooo nice n didnt bottom out i had plenty of power from my boost ported eng easily beat all yfz450s got holeshot every race in the end i got overall 3rd for this round so im currently 3rd in state champs all in all i had a great day
