Comments on: Warrior Upgrades – Handlebars and Banshee Shocks http://blog.alltheinfo.org/warrior-upgrades-handlebars-and-banshee-shocks/423/ Everything worth knowing Mon, 19 Dec 2011 18:05:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bob P http://blog.alltheinfo.org/warrior-upgrades-handlebars-and-banshee-shocks/423/#comment-25369 Bob P Mon, 19 Dec 2011 18:05:58 +0000 http://blog.alltheinfo.org/warrior-upgrades-handlebars-and-banshee-shocks/423/#comment-25369 So I put the Banshee shocks on my warrior and I definitely agree. It doesn't corner as well (it's more inclined to roll over) but going straight ahead it handles much better and I can keep going a lot longer before I need to take a break. This is a great upgrade I can keep up with friends riding on a 400 EX, 4 Raptor 660s, 2 Raptor 700s, a CR250 2 stroke, and a KTM 450 motocross bike. Swapping out the shocks was easy; all you need are some wrenches a small pry bar and about half an hour. This may cause some components to wear out prematurely, but I’ve ridden at least 400 hours on the quad since the upgrade and every thing’s OK so far.

He also mentioned putting on longer handle bars and a grease fitting in the center of the rear axle to maintain the rear axle bearings. I will probably get some Banshee shocks myself. If I do I'll let you know what I think too.

It is easily the best mod you can make to your Warrior. Mine was very difficult to ride with the stock shocks - just beat you to death. Now it's enjoyable. Recently I went riding with some friends on the Moody Hill trail just west of where I live. We're in the Rocky Mountains, and most of the trials around here live up to the name. One of my friends has an 06 Wolverine, a bike that has some of the best suspension I've ridden, and he loves to get out in front and just blast down the trail. I followed him, and was able to hang right with him with my Warrior. It just glides across the rocks, and handles the turns way better than before. The only down side I've seen to the shocks is when you are riding really fast. If you are going down a road at 40-50 MPH I think it gets a little squirrelly. If you do a lot of this, you might be able to make it better by adjusting the pre-loads. I run mine on the softest setting because we are typically on rough trails. Jim:
