stik-m

Thanks, it all makes sense now, didn't know it was pressed together. How often should I rebuild the top end? The guy I bought it off of said the bike only had about 20 hrs on it. And If you look at it, you can tell. Its really clean. Chain rollers and guides show no wear. He said he never adjusted the chain. I have put about 5-10 hours on it.

I am a new banshee owner. Could someone please tell me the purpose of welding the crank. I have a 2004 with toomey t6 pipes and silencers, jetted and k&n filter. I have read on several posts that with these upgrades the crank should be welded?
