    Yfz shocks on banshee.

    How does it work? dont get mad it they dont bolt up at first because they wont! I'll tell you guys how to do it in this thread.

    First take all your settings and put them on the softest setting.

    Next, take the upper ring on the top of your spring aka ride height and loosen it all the way and do the second spring the same way, be sure to tighten these when they are all the way up on the shock! You can loosen them by using a screw driver and a hammer if you dont have a shock tool!

    Now here comes a kinda hard part in a way, The bottom of the shock is too thick to clear the bottom aarm, so you have to take a grinder and grind the access material down till the shock bolt will go thru,

    Then you put the banshee in the air, use a lift or some sort of box/bin.

    Now that you have done that you have to compress the shock about a inch or 2 inches and slide it into place, its easy to do if you have race cuts, if not take your front plastics off.

    Once you slide the shock into place bolt them up and go ride!

    I have done it to mine and I have seen a huge plus in handling and jumping, with the stock banshee shocks the front end likes to dive in corners, with the yfz shocks there is little dive and it actually turns! Handling is amazing on it as well I feel that I can ride alot faster now nowing that the front end isnt going to dive and cause the banshee to 2 wheel or even roll.
