Thanks, but after searching around I found nothing, so I post a new thread looking for some advice and I get this.... Maybe a "view topic" or "try this search" or something might be a little more help... If someone can help me, with a real answer and is not afraid to give up some info, I'm all ears

What do you guys think of these rods? After reading about 29L/R rods, im a little worried that these are garbage rods too Crank Y29L

Thanks NYUK

While doing my total motor rebuild on my banshee, I was looking at the two halfs and they don't look to be matching. Is there a way to check if they are a pair. Thanks for any info

Thanks guys, after some reading I’m thinking of doing the 4mm stroker. I like the bolt on 4mm kit that Herr Racing has, and I'm leaning towards that. But is there anything else I should consider before buying the kit? Like head work or something along that line? I'm trying to learn as much as possible before make the plunge. Just so you know I mostly trail ride and looking for more bottom/mid range hp, and would like to use pump gas. As for my crank, I think its toast. Well for sure the bearings are, so I don't know if someone wants to buy it the way it is. Unless someone wants to buy it and rebuild it.

Thanks strokes77, I'm not a big fan on Ebay parts, and like to support people (and this site) that make a good product, so Herr Jugs it is. As far as porting its going to get out of my price range... for this rebuilt. Maybe next time I'll do the port job. Should I get aftermarket reeds for the 4mm right away, or can I get away with stock? I plan on later on getting different reeds/cages later down the road

Here's some hall of shame pics

Well, over the weekend I done in the motor. Just took head and jugs and it isn't pretty. Looks like the rod bearings are done too. So I was thinking on going with the 4mm stroker. I have done some looking and was thinking on using the hotrod crank/rods with the wiseco pistons - My link Is this a good kit, or should I go with something different? I don't want to spend more than $800 if I can, or maybe its better to do a stock stroke rebuild? I mostly trail ride and don't need a top end screaming motor. Also now I have the jugs off I took one carb apart and found that they were fitted with 250 mains and 32.5 pilots and my elevation here is around 2500ft, I thinking that thats what did my motor in and was to lean running high rpm. Going to try 280-290 mains and 27.5-30.0 pilots. If someone can help me out with a top and bottom rebuild that will last and doesn't cost me a arm and a leg, I'm all ears

I figured that I would do a compression test and it turns out that the right cylinder has 100psi and the left is 125psi, but starts on second kick everytime, even while cold. That right side has me worried a bit, is it time to crack out the wallet and do a top end rebuild? Found a place up here that can do each cylinder for $35 and is less than a block away...

Thanks for the heads up....... No I mean down..... (man please tell me you are joking) I'll clean up the pistons, throw it back together with a new gasket and do a compression test. What do you guys use to clean up the pistons? I was thinking on using a scotch brite pad... good or bad. I'm currently waiting on the Clymers manual to show Oh I have few ideas for my next mods, TORS Elimination Kit, Cool Head or Noss Head, maybe do a 4mil stroker. Like I said this is my first Shee and don't know a bunch about them. I'll just keep on reading.......

Hello, new to the forum with my first banshee. Stock '05 with some FMF golds pipes and fullbore plastic, love it. I drove about two or three hous on it and now has a coolant leak coming through the vent side hose on the overflow tank. I did some reading and found that it was more than likely my head gasket. Sure enough, there was coolant in both cylinders but the right cylinder was really bad (wet with coolant). After looking at the cylinders, head and pistons I can tell there is more "play" in the right piston when I push back and forth (not up and down). If I was going to compare the two, I'd say there is about twice as much movement in the right cylinder than the left. I hope that makes sence. Is this a sign for a rebuild? I beleive it still has the stock pistons and don't have any background on the quad. Sorry for the newbie Q's. http://s1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg559/RozcoCanada/?action=view&current=IMG_0314.jpg#!oZZ8QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs1243.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fgg559%2FRozcoCanada%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3DIMG_0305.jpg http://s1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg559/RozcoCanada/?action=view&current=IMG_0314.jpg#!oZZ6QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs1243.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fgg559%2FRozcoCanada%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3DIMG_0310.jpg http://s1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg559/RozcoCanada/?action=view&current=IMG_0314.jpg#!oZZ4QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs1243.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fgg559%2FRozcoCanada%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3DIMG_0312.jpg
