Oil spilling out please help!

[MistBanshee]

For the cost of tools and etc. to do it ourselves would be more costly.

 

And as for one who is just getting into these rides I would rather have a pro do the fixin then a rookie.

 

 

Found the leak, clutch side crank main bearing. We all saw a crack then while looking at it the guy at the shop rubbed his finger across it saying here is the problem, look at this crack then began to whip junk from it and it just feel apart right there!

 

Even with it going to be costly useing a shop at least there was no running the banshee again to try to figure out what was wrong and end up tossing a bearing threw the motor. There is already a bike there that had that very same deal happen and he is looking into a new motor, bearing just tore it up. So to this story there is a little bit of good news to bad not to the pocket book.

After getting the case split yesterday come to find out it is a stock engine but the jugs have had work and that was why it was faster then my friends. My friend has been riding for years and has two Banshees one strait stock and then one with work done and pretty fast. Then when we were looking at getting mine he drove it and it shocked him to on how fast she was.

 

Well since now it is all apart looks like a 4mm, and 4 inch swing arm will be going in as well.

I still want my ride to be reliable as well as able to do simple trail rides to hang with our slower riders in the group.

 

My question to is how much improvement in speed will this do to the banshee? What should I expect the change to be?

Again she is very fast and has a powerband that can toss someone if they don't know what they are doing or used to it. It is very easy to get the front end up without trying.

I am now used to this so the banshee is fast but not overly fast anymore, just because I am used to it, not that I don't still hang on LOL We are now needing to get the lower end caught up to what has been modified to the top end.

 

Now I need to find some plastics to make it look better. Hard to believe how expensive plastics are. Been trying to find a good deal but haven't came across any. Not wanting any girl colors either LOL oh and not a fan of red.

Anyone have any good places to look let me know. Thanks

i have a 2006 banshee 350 2 stroke and there are two hoses that are not connected to anything on the front brake side of the quad about right under the plastic for the gas tank. oil will just spill out and my quad has a loss of power. what can this be?? i first took my quad to a repair shop because it had a loss of power so they cleaned the carbs and then when i got the quad back it still had a loss of power and it was spilling oil from those two hoses. does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?? i tried to be as specific as possible. please help thanks

 

I saw this happen once, and the vent hoses you mention were kinked. Easiest to check that first. NOt sure about the loss of power, though..that didn't happen with me. IF not the hoses, crank seal, as mentioned.
