When I get home tonight I'll add some

That's odd because whenever I load my quad solo, I tip it vertical, roll it to my truck on the rear wheels, and drop the fronts onto the tail gate then lift the rears in. And I've never noticed it pissing oil before

My banshee has always been a pain. I love it and hate it. I bought it for cheap it was a piece of junk and still is, although slightly less. It has a cracked case and all kinds of other issues (the case is fixed with JB weld). But recently I started leaking oil again for god knows why (I left the bike parked for 2 months and it wasn't leaking. Rode it once and it leaked out half its oil) anyways.... besides that... I tipped it up vertical to look at the JB weld job on the cracked case... and it started pissing oil out from a nipple on the back side of the case. Any ideas why? Any info helps.

Last time I tapped it in a little farther than flush. But I've tried plugging this with various things in the past and they tend to come shooting out. If my case breather were plugged, would the pressure possibly attempt to escape through this hole? It doesn't seem like it's "shaking loose", it's being pushed out

You think JB weld would do the trick? I tend to trust it a little more than RTV for things I want to stay put permanently

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I just put one of those plugs in a couple weeks ago and it came loose again today! Leaking oil again and lost the plug had to buy yet another. How do I make this thing stay in??

Finally got her going. Needs a case plug though, leaking from the open case plug between the neutral cover and the shift shaft

This guy is a banshee guy (sort of) and is doing things for me for free. Money is tight right now

Finished the top end rebuild. Bike still refuses to start. I don't know what to do at this point. I'm ready to sell it

Yeah we did a leak down. Just the right cylinder lost compression. You should see the rings. They're about 1/3 of the width they were supposed to be haha

Now in the process of a top end rebuild. This bike is from hell. I've got a whopping 3 rides in on it, each under 10 minutes.

The bike lost all compression somehow. This is a nightmare

Float was not stuck

I did. Thanks I'll take a look at that

Leak is stopped. But now it won't run and I'm only getting exhaust from the right side pipe. Plug looks okay, carb isn't that dirty. I don't know what to do

*cant seal it

JB weld barely letting oil thru, small drops. Probably going to buy a lower case if I can seal it up.

So it ran fine... twice... then I found a crack by the shift shaft. Used some JB weld steelstik, my mechanic said based on how small the crack is it should be a good and quick fix for the time being

Putting the motor back in the bike today. Hopefully no issues!

Got the motor put back together with the new countershaft seal in and new crank seals. And new shift shaft seal. I don't know how I would've been able to get to the countershaft without opening the motor up.

I heard if it's overfilled the fluid pressure can build up and blow past the seal. Is that correct?

No, I'm just using his space and advice. I bought him lunch that's it

He's insisting it's the best way to do it. I'm kinda at his mercy as far as tools and working space, so whatever he wants to do I have to be onboard

Brought it by my mechanic, he's helping me pull the motor. It's both the shift shaft seal and the countershaft seal. He's insisting on splitting the cases, and replacing crank seals while we're there.

Thanks. I'll be getting some work done on it tomorrow and I'll post updates
