I have only once had a problem. It was right after the snow had melted and I was cutting acrossed a Tilled bean field and it would not hold fifth gear. I have never, ever had any problems with them other than that. What I don't understand is the weight thing you guys talk about. I read (on somewhere on this forum, not sure if it is correct or not) that the Realitors weigh 19 lbs a piece (rim? dont know) but a stock tire weighs like 16 or 17. Thats only 2 or 3 pounds. To me that doesnt make that big of a deal. When you have some deep mud to go through, youll be glad you have them, when you got some sand to go through, your be glad you have them

 

I run 22" Realtors on my 97 Banshee. They are GREAT ! ! ! Pipes, head shave, timing advance and your bike will love the extra 2 in of tire diameter. The more power you make, the more you need Realtors.

 

i am going to buy a set of realtors with rims... and also have my holeshots with rims so when i go to hillclimbs i can bolt on the realtors or the track the holeshots.

2 questions,

should i get 9 or 10inch wheels for the realtors? i was thinkin 10.

and should i gear lower when i put on the realtors or will stock gearing pull them fine, because i would hate to switch gears every time i switch from holeshots to realtors. i have stock pipes with dg silencers, k&n, and wiseco prolite pistons, so the engine is pretty much stock.... will it work alright? i may get pipes in the summer.

thanks

 

Its been my experience no tire gets away without spinning on a banshee.. Look into other mods to help you hook up better.. Smooth your powerband out a bit. And learn how to use the clutch, using your throttle will cause the tires to spin more because of the power hit when you punch it, a clutch slips the power to the tires and grabs a bit better.
