If your settings is good then the shock is shot, are there any oil coming out of it??
The banshee is known to kick around and have no traction, even with a good shock it will still be there... Its all about the chassis/center of mass point etc...
You can get it better if you tune it, but it will NEVER hook like a 450, the 450s transfer the weight and power so much better to rear wheels....
Elka has a linkage setup and they claimed to cure the Banshees problem, I am sure it will be better, have spoke to a few that has the setup, but it won't cure the whole lot... Also R13k....
Wel no there's no oil leaks at all. . .just emagine how amazing the banshee will be if it hooks up like a 450. , ,itl be untouchable! Haha, . There must be sum way cause when i pull off next2 a 450 im so behind! It sux so much! Would a difrent swingarm do anything?

Bigger and good hooking tires, but if the 450 has it, his one step ahead, thats why the 450s are so potent, not just the power, the traction and the way they hook up.... Shorter swinger will do the trick on stock shees, longer swingers only keep the nose down IF YOU HAVE THE TRACTION AND POWER TO GET THE NOSE UP, otherwise a longer swinger will be a waste because of the longer leverage...
The drag guys run longer swingers because they have good power and enough paddle and traction to hook out instantly out of the launch, then the longer swinger benefit, because they can launch full power and the noise is down, if you know what you are doing, you get a swinger so it just lift the noise almost from the ground to transfer as much weight as possible to the rear on the launch, this way you can still steer and get maximum traction if the correct length, tyre size/paddle, power of the motor is a combined setup that works..... Drags racing and normal riding is a whole different story.... Thats also why solid struts is the shizzlings for drags....
The shizzling? Haha! Ya i was thinking bout geting a shorter swingarm but its gana look weird. . .and its probly hectic expensive! Haha how about just taking 2 inches off myn? Haha would that work? Or would it snap off? I have so many plans 4 this shee but so little money. . Lol!
one of the cheapest and easiest ways to shorten the swinger is to replace the chain.....
For sure skabarat....But Draging non drag shees is for sisies its all about what you can do on the track...flat track....drag him on the tar...thats even stevens....
If u shorten the chain? That wnt held anything? The chain jst wnt fit. . . .mayb i mst jst get rid of my bkt tires

2 inches, then 22 inc tires won't fit. J.J. has shorten his, maybe he will chime in here..
Ag i meant if u replace the chain? Hows that gana shorten the swinger? I wana get more grip 4 when i come out of a turn. . .cause if im in the power band it dsnt go anywhere
