I was riding a good bit yesterday and i put the bike away and everything was fine. This morning I was heading to ride with a few buddies and when I start my bike up its like there is no power. Also my right side exhaust had a few air burst, kind of like a backfire. The left side seemed like it didn

Got it back together and its running good, Thanks for the tips.

I just rebuilt my top end and after I started it for the first time the right side had a lot more pressure coming out than the left side exhaust. I was told it could possibly be the reeds. so I got my reeds pulled out and when i flipped them there is still a small gap. will this affect anything? also was wondering if you knew any other possibilities that could be causing the pressure difference.

I just have stock reeds on it and ill try flipping it over then buy some new if that seems to be the problem. For the paint I just used brake/parts cleaner to get it all off. Just curious why they would even paint it. Thanks for the help

Well that

Where did u get an 2008 banshee at? Thought they stopped making them in 2006...

Is there any chance it could be my reed on the left side causing the lack of pressure?

I just started it up and while it was running I noticed that the left side exhaust didn

So I just finished rebuilding my top end. As I was just putting new transmission oil and coolant back in I noticed that I could only put 1 and 1/2 quarts in and it was full. The specs. on it says it should be 2.64 qts with .30 of that being in the reservoir which was already full so if there is suppose to be 2.34qts in there without the reservoir. So any clue why the rest of the .84 isn

Alright, thanks a lot, the only things I know about rebuilding motors is stuff I read. trying to teach myself and don

Yea that was me, unfortunately that

I would first like to start off saying I

Alright, well thanks for the help and heads up.

The kind from sears with the arms on it. lol

Hey guys im no master builder, this is my first motor im rebuilding and i was wondering when you hone the cylenders do you use any type of oil or lube? or just the strait stones on them?

Alright, thanks alot. I think thats everything.

My last dumb question/scenario... Could the air leak be the head gasket, from when the inner electrode from the plug fell out and made a divot in the piston from hitting the head?

yea now i see that, thanks

well after sitting here lookin at this cylinder and takin in your guys helpful comments i noticed on the outside of the left cylender on the right sideof it where the reeds are on the top and bottem corners there are 2 holes looks like it kinda blew from the inside out... not sure but could this be a air leak problem? Sorry dont know a whole lot about this.

i think the scratches on the sidewall came from that divot, its almost right on the edge of the piston, i had to cut the picture down could only load 50kb, so there is a chance that the scartches on the sidewall didnt cause my bike to mess up?

Ill start off by telling you what happened, I was out riding my 2000 stock banshee for a couple hours and everything was fine, then all of a sudden it was like i had to power band or power. So I shut the bike off to check my plugs, what I found was on the right cylinder spark plug that the center electrode fell out of the plug. so i thought no big deal it might of just went out through the exhaust. so I put a new plug in and when looking at exhaust of the bike the left exhaust there was verily any smoke coming out and the right side seemed to be fine. So I take the bike home, take the head off and find that on the left piston there was a small divot and right beside the divot on the cylinder wall was a 1/2" wide scar. its not deep enough to feel if your run you finger around in it when your not looking at it. Some of the things i was wondering is could this be honed out and if anything just get over sized rings. thoughts comments anything will help. thanks chuck

Oh why can

Just wondering what sites you guys use. Most the time I use rockeymountainatvmc.com
