Rear Banshee Shock Bolt Up To Blaster No Mod?

[jmesser80]

Hello All,

I have read several articals on this subject but just want to confirm.

Will a rear Banshee Shock Bolt right up to a Blaster without having to modify anything?

Thank You in Advance

 

[blasterdemon7]

Won't work out.

 

[Blaaster]

Rear, no.

Fronts, yes.

 

[jmesser80]

Is it possible to mount the rear shock with minor modifications?

You don't want to even bother with a Banshee rear shock. . Go for a 400ex or Z400 rear shock and KOR bushings to mount it.

 

[jmesser80]

Sounds like a plan.
Thanks all. Will order one up on eBay tonight.

Hello Again,

So I was looking on EBay for a rear 400ex shock and a lot of the listings are calling out the shock for a TRX 400EX / 400 EX.
I just want to be sure it is going to work on my Blaster prior to buying it.

I know I will need the KOR Bushing kit to install it and also that I will need to drill the bottom mounting hole to a 12mm,

I guess my main concern is a 400EX the same thing as a TRX 400EX
(I was looking it up online and it seems that they switched the name after 2005 to TRX 400EX)

Again I just want to be sure before I buy it.

thank You

there the same shock and if im thinking right most of the 400 atv shocks will fit

 

[Awk08]

alot of honda atv's, at least the sport models carried the TRX prefix.... trx250x, trx300ex, trx400ex

the trx400ex or 400ex, same quad/shock, is what you need

 

[jmesser80]

That's what I thought but just wanted to make sure before I bought one.

Thank you for the help.

For the price of a good used 400 rear shock and the Kor bushings you really can't go wrong. I myself and I'm sure many others on here are pleased with this simple yet very affective upgrade..

thats exactly what i did, one of the best upgrades you can get imo.... its a back SAVER!!!

 

[jmesser80]

I just purchased a 400ex shock and the KORS bushings to put in my 01.
Hopefully it will be here by the end of the week!

 

[DeJay1206]

Those bushings are nice and it's a cheap, easy, and effective upgrade. I wanna get am aftermarket 450 shock soon and see how much of a difference that makes.

 

[jmesser80]

From what I've read it seems to be the way to go.
I actually can't wait to put it in.
Also this winter I'm planning on taking apart
The top end to have it bored out a little I was told by the previous owner that it had been bored over already but want to see for myself. If it needs to be Re-bored I think I'm going to send it to Oconnor racing and have him do it I think I saw $55 to have it bored. Can't go wrong there!

Yeah plus gaskets. And a new piston and rings. Never bore unless it's needed. Gains no power better to save your bores for when needed!

 

[jmesser80]

Yup. I'm really just curious to see if it was bored over already.
Don't want to rip it apart if I don't have too. Seems to run ok from
What I've noticed. Seems to make a little noise but from what I've read
Most 2 strokes are noisy beasts

 

[DeJay1206]

Have you leak tested amd compression tested it?

 

[Blaaster]

The YFS200 is especially noisy.

 

[DeJay1206]

They are super noisy, I thought there was something wrong with mine when I first got it.
