I just bought a brand new Banshee. I do alot of jumping but nothing huge. The other day i noticed it sat tilted to the left. I checked all the tires but they were all the same psi. I jacked up the front end and the left side a arms hung lower and it was still tilted to the left. I havent chrashed it or anything. Also you have to hold the handle bars to the right to go strait down the road, and it power slides to the right 100 times easyer than it does to the left. I am baffled?!?!?! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

do your wheels wobble? it could be that your frame is bent, have you measured anything, like from your bars to the front of the frame, a-arm to axle, ect...
if you can narrow it down it is a lot easier to determin what is wrong or bent!

 

No , my wheels don't wobble, and i can't imagine i bent the frame, I havent done anything to cause that sort of dammage, Well thanx for hte advise.

 

I would take it back to the dealer. It's still under warranty...right??! Let them deal with it.

 

I have a 90 day warrenty against foactory defects.
Do you guys think that this will be coverd by that?

 

When I used to work for Yamaha we covered stuff like that. Don't go tellin' them you've been skyin' off of some monster jumps or anything. But, just tell them you've been riding it like anyone else would.

 

The same thing happened to me. It turned out to be a bent swingarm. Yes, I said swingarm! I came down hard off a jump on the right rear tire. After checking the axle, frame, a arms and tire pressue I put the bike on a stand and could see the right rear tire was sitting higher than the left rear. Might try that, it's a possibility. By the way, I also only had three rides on my 2000 Banshee.

 

thats what im saying, measure everything, and you will know for sure what the problem is!
geometry does not lie
