On banshee's and jumping????

I am looking to get one, is there any year to stay away from??

 

any of the huevos videos are good. As far as a banshee try to get one with upper a arms instead of the j-arm set up. Other than that I believe they are basically the same.

 

OK, does anyone have a pic or years like that? What is wrong with the j arm setup? I dont know what your talking about so any more help would be great.

 

Jon,

If you want to see some pics of a Banshee doing wheelies and some jumping check out my site. Click on Pictures and go to "Josh's 1998 Yamaha Banshee". My friend Matt's pics of his 2001 Banshee are on there too, but he doesn't do anything fun.

See my site in the signature.

J Arms are only on 87-88-89 banshees (someone correct if I forgot a year).
See the front end? Both AArms (the triangles that connect the frame to the wheel) have a triangle shape. The shock goes through the upper one and attaches on the lower one.

With J Arms, the upper arm goes "around" the shock (giving it a sort of J shape). It is less precise and more fragile I believe than double AArms.
