BansheeNJX

Way to GO!!! Nice fathering skills there !!

Hello, I'm looking for a set of race plastics for my 01 banshee, I know they are on ebay new for 365 for front and back, Looking for white color. Other parts looking for: Skid plate ASV levers or ez pull clutch Original un cut wire harness Tires + wheels for trail riding Let me know if anyone has any of these parts - Paypal Ready

Sheesh wish my banshee that's all it was , Enjoy riding !!!

Hi, I'm in the same boat as you, The response people have told me and most likely what I will be doing is litterally putting the engine in a box , shipping it to one of the site sponsors and have your credit card ready - I have looked into this option countless of times and spent hours online looking and pricing parts. There are several ebay kits which offer the full rebuild whether it be back to stock or more power with a cheetah serval, cub, etc. Regardless of how you go, It all counts on who assembles the motor for you. I would not rebuild it yourself. I have talked myself out of rebuilding it myself several times. I will be going with a 4 mill cheetah serval setup, Long rod crankshaft trued + welded with max load CZ bearings , billet clutch with new clutch kit, serval cheetah cylinders, 35mm carbs, billet intake, v4 reeds, wiesco pistons 68mm, billet water impeller and billet impeller drive gear from mullen, K+N pod filters with outerwear's, and a couple other things I'm missing. First off START WITH A CLYMERS MANUAL that was my first mistake. What size are your cylinders at now?? You will get a lot of support from this site, but be warned these guys are brutal to noobs like you and me. They will be honest but upfront - so prepare for the mixed criticism, whatever you do good luck my friend.

When I spoke to them over the phone they told me they do browse on HQ, wonder what their username here is?

Thank you for all the replies guys, really appreciate it -

Thanks for the honest feedback, I may just end up sending it in to a site sponser, just to play it safe since these guys work on banshee all day long. My worst fear is to spend this amount of money and have it assembled wrong. Now the question. Which is the better builder? FAST? Redline?

I'm asking just for opinions on the kit itself , I contact fast , they are turn around 2 months , redline is same , having a local builder build it so It can be ready sooner . I'm asking about the parts -

Hey everyone , I'm bought to buy this kit , was just wondering what you guys think of it http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=201333214131

Try him @ his twitter, Just did a search on google with his username and found his twitter, I personally do not know him, Hope you get this situated . https://twitter.com/kcskindeep84

Thank you for your advise and harsh words, they are well accepted.

They would give me a trade in some value? Which site sponsors do this? Thanks for your reply

Thank you for that info - This any good? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-Banshee-350-Complete-Rebuild-Kit-Cylinders-Wiseco-Pistons-Gaskets-Crank-/201326235677?hash=item2edffa901d&vxp=mtr pretty expensive maybe i can find a complete motor for less AHHHHH once again-

PM sent , Thanks

Yes , lots of stuff wrong with it. I don't have a budget set, and A neighbor is helping me with the build as he has built 2 stroke motors before. The cases are mint and I already have them + are bead blasted. That crank i got for 50.00 and just took a shot at it and now I'm thinking not to risk it and just buy a brand new one, so it wouldnt have been such a lose on them. I'm already in the whole 2200 plus 400 powder, 150 cases, 50 used crank, etc..... Thanks for your advice - I personally would like to build it from the ground rather than take a risk and buy another motor for excess of 1200.00 AHHHH i don't know what to do? The cylinders , do they make a difference if I buy them aftermarket or do I go OEM with them? The oil was just flushed by the oil drain plug i meant- Thank you for your reply -

Hey , Thanks for the reply. No I did not do leak down test , I was so frustrated I just tore it open, ahhhh, yes certainly a bad buy.

LOL , if it was for the wifey LOL

If you are trying to chrome with PC, it will be expensive I was quoted 500 just frame for chrome here in NJ, I managed to get a Hot Candy blue frame, swingarm, foot pegs, steering stem, all for 400 http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/Bansheenjx/Mobile%20Uploads/story

Im not sure why I can't see the photos in the link, are they coming up for anyone? http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/Bansheenjx/library/Mobile%20Uploads http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/Bansheenjx/slideshow/Mobile%20Uploads http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/Bansheenjx/Mobile%20Uploads/story

Hello Everyone I welcome you to my horror Story, Hopefully I can get some of my questions answered and some help to steer me in the right direction. I recently bought a banshee 01, it's my first 2 stroke. At time of purchase banshee had FMF head pipes + FMF core 2 silencers, UNI filter, Stock stroke crank, 66.25 Pistons, stock cylinders, Stock carbs with air box + lid running 300 main, 25 pilots, Gas was pump premium with 32:1 mix of BenoL, at the time of purchase Compression test was not done, just a quick ride through the gears and did notice neutral was very hard to find Also noticed that when you stand the banshee upright oil would leak out from somewhere though at the time i figured it was just overflow from somewhere After couple days riding, coolant starting leaking from the head or somewhere in that general area as the coolant started to leak on the head pipes. Replaced the radiator with an over sized one, filled with 50/50 coolant, Still same issue. Next took of the cylinder head , sanded down the top of the head slightly as it was a little nicked up, replaced the head gasket. This solved the coolant leak issue. Next ride, I started to notice that oil was dripping heavy out of the silencer pipes, I pulled off the spark plugs and they were fouled with oil, replaced the spark plugs, cleaned the carbs and went down to 280 main + 25 pilots still, Issue was still there so I went to local Yamaha dealer and they recommended to change the type of 2 stroke oil I use, I switched from the BenoL to amsoil dominator at new ratio of 40:1. This did not solve the problem. I also changed the transmission oil to belray and did notice that the oil was very watery and milky when it was flushed out. Next ride, I noticed that the banshee was not getting alot of power and kept bogging down, As i was attempting to get the bike out of the woods and back onto my trailer, the bike in mid 3d gear just stopped lost complete power, and smoke started coming from the head, I managed to push it to trailer and when I got home , I opened the cylinder head and saw that my pistons were now trash and so was the cylinder head . Further inspection i noticed that the crank rod was loose and there was alot of play up and down as the bearing inside the rod ( i think that's what it's called ) somehow ended up not there and now somewhere in the bottom end. I ended up stripping the bike completely down and as a newbie I broke some parts along the way including cracking the engine cases as I'm a dumb ass who didn't just buy a 40.00 case opener and followed some dumb youtuber smack the case open with a rubber mallet, I also noticed when I removed the clutch basket that it had alligator teeth as shown in the pictures, and that the Water pump plastic gear which is on the impeller was completely stuck on it that I had to drill a hole into just to remove though it was spinning I could not pull it off like the manual said ( yes I removed the cir-clip and washer) My issue is now I need some direction of how to properly rebuild this motor and with proper parts I ended up buying a used Crank from some random guy on craigslist , When i inspected the crank there was no play in the rods and just looked like seals need to be replaced and all the gears and bearings spun freely. How do i make sure this crank is ok? Can i take it anywhere to have it balanced to make sure it is spinning straight? Bought a new top and bottom case from ebay with No Chain break, had the cases bead blasted. I have included a picture of how I want the motor to look and I know it will not be cheap, I just want it done right, I'm not looking to resell it but ride it. Frame, steering stem, foot pegs, swing arm was powder coated Hot Candy Blue Bought new bushings and bearings for every part, new Mullen water pump impeller, new main water pump gear, V force 4 reeds, New uni air filter , PJ1 OIL and cleaner Since I will be boring the cylinders to their last bore ( not sure if it is last bore) 66.50, is it even worth it to do that? Or should i search for a pair of stock jugs with 64.00 bore and buy pistons for them. I will be buying a cool head, which type and dome size do I go with? , Im in NJ and sea level is 219 above, and I want to run premium gas with no race fuel What do I do with the cases if im trying to get that look in the photos? Have them polished? Painted? Pro's / Cons What do I do about the cylinder head? Keep it ? Replace it with Cool Head?? Why did my bike shit on me? What could have caused this failure? Crank? Oil? Water pump? The previous owner who didn't take care of it at all? Riding it in the cold? I don't want to put this motor back together and have same BS issues. Any help any suggestions would GREATLY be appreciated. If you made it this far thank you. http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/Bansheenjx/story Please look at the photos I have taken
