How about the grease yall use in the a arm alemites and bushings?

Man that sounds awful.. I think I might just paint them lol..

Should I use antisieze on case bolts?

I have three stators that came in a box of parts I bought. How can I tell if they are aftermarket or high output or just plain stock?

Are the torque specs the same? Where can I find which bolts need anti seize and which need loctite?

Its already torn down. Im putting it back together now. What should I do with the new stainless steel bolts that I now have to put the motor back together with?

Im beginning my motor build today. Its completely torn apart to the cases. I have some questions: 1. What do yall use as oil on internal parts, Crank seals/bearings, tranny, stuff like that? 2. What do yall use to grease the shifting parts? 3. What do yall grease/oil in general during a build? 4. What do yall use as case sealeant? 5. Any secrets that I should know before I start? This is not my first engine rebuild, but its my first banshee engine rebuild.

Im trying to get my dog bone and linkage powder coated. I cant seem to get the little bushing in there out. They are metal, unlike the plastic ones in the a arms. The one on the dog bone has a rubber outer lip and im sure it has to be removed to be powder coated. Any tips/tricks?

Well... I dropped my pipes off yesterday to have them ceramic coated.. here goes nothing...

Thanks for the replies guys. Also, thats a legit little video there starwriter. What size rivets does it take?

I was wondering how do you remove and replace the rivets that hold on the warning labels on my banshee. I know you have to have a rivet tool, but can you use that to remove them too? or do you have to drill them out? What type of rivets do I need to buy to replace the ones on my bike? Also, can somebody hit up JDS Customs and see if he is interested in making some of these!!!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/271253380566?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

What do you guys think about this opinion... Most pipe coatings work very well at separation. Separating you from some cash. Peak rpm is tied to pipe length not temp. Coated pipes and stainless take LONGER to get the pipe to temp that's why it raises the rpm peak by a few 100 rpm.Pipes painted black will come into phase earlier than clear coated or polished Pipe waves have 3 components pressure, sound and particle all moving at different speeds and the pressure wave is what everyone is most interested in.It is impossible to accelerate or amplify a pressure wave as it is strongest and fastest as it comes out of the exhaust duct.The pipe dimension work to assist the wave (either depression or peak)coincide with the engine at the correct phase in the cycle. The guy I was gonna have coat them said he hadnt heard of the coating causing problems, but would ask around with some of the people he does business with and get back to me. He also wanted me to send him the link to this post. It sounds like he is doing some research also, which I really appreciate. I wish I knew enough to make this decision on my own, but i dont. Anybody else feel qualified to throw in 2cents?

How hot do pipes get?

im worried about performance.. I dont want my shit to blow up after all the hard work and CA$H ive put into it.. But if that grill paint holds up it could be an option. I dont ride in sand either.. mud and dirt and what not.

That's looks good and shiny beecanbanshee . How does it hold up?

I figured you would have more throttle variation, start and stop, that kinda stuff if you were riding around.

Do you ride around on yours, or is it mostly drag racing?

I'm really torn now. The powder coating guy told me powder would just be shitty and flake off. Then, he mentioned the ceramic coating and that I should look into it. My bike is/will be black and blue so I thought to have them coated would be awesome.. But The post I found is really troubling me.

Well shit...

I just moved to Little Rock, and there ain't shit around that I've found.

I was looking into getting my exhaust ceramic coated black. I keep finding mixed things online. Some folks say it's the tits, but others say it hurts performance, like this guy..... Blazin-Banshee - I recently went through this process and feel I should warn you. If you are planning on doing this to a 2 stoke, please use caution. Here is why.. I recently purchased a pipe for my 250R. I did not get it chromed because for a little bit less, I could have it coated inside and out with ceramic coating. Everything I have heard spelled benefits, such as less heat on the outside, better wear, no rust etc. But one thing that I did realize is this. It will affect the performance of your pipe! How do I know…when I installed the pipe it blew off the motor, hit the frame and put a large whole in the exhaust pipe. I call it my $290 (pipe and coating) mistake. Here is what happened and why… A 2 stroke exhaust is made to send a shock wave back to the cylinder to stop the flow of fresh fuel/air from coming out, until the piston moves past the exhaust port. The timing of this wave is how a pipe differs between a “low end” pipe and a “high end” pipe. Now here is where the ceramic coating comes into play. Since the ceramic coating is used to keep the heat inside the pipe, where is CAN (not always) do some good. You see hot gases move faster than cooler ones. So when I installed the ceramic pipe, the exhaust gases where moving a lot faster than before. This caused unburned fuel/air to enter the pipe and exploding inside the pipe itself. Basically, unless the pipe (and somewhat of the motor) is set up to handle this extra heat – faster moving exhaust, you could be hurting the performance more than helping. Now if it is a 4 stroke, then by all means go ahead. You see a 4 stroke motor has valves to close off the cylinder / intake. The only function (most important at least) of a 4 stroke exhaust is to remove the spent gases. And a ceramic coating will help in that area. Let ask you this…how many dirt bike (in other words BIG DOLLAR) professional teams ceramic coat their 2 stroke exhaust? Any truth to what this dude says?

Thats what I was thinking.. figured it might keep a little mud off of all the parts under the seat.

As the title says folks.

I just bought that one from Rocky Mountain.. Thanks for the replies guys

Thats the tool I think they recommended in the manual.. would that one work better than the one in the link I posted?
