The Banshee is 8 years old now and has been beat on with a lot of riding, time to take it apart, clean it all, paint it up, and add in a thing or two. Its all apart now basically down to the frame. What things need to be replaced on it? Im trying to make a list of all the things I need to buy that need to be bought to put on it before it goes back together again so I can make one big order for it all. Also any suggestions on what one wouldnt normally think to clean. Im not doing anything with the engine just cleaning it all and painting a few things, make it look a little nicer. Wanted to see if anyone has some sort of a list of what needs to be replaced, like bearings, cotter pins, that sort of thing. If you could, quantities of each would be nice for when I order it all. :D

 

Thanks,

Mike

i would go through the wire harness thouroughly, clean and lube all switches and connectors with nyk dielectric grease.clean and inspect the stator/flywheel, clean all ground points. check all bushing, including the shocks, and ball joints. shifter/ kick start. flush brake system, and check calipers for proper movement. pull your head, and check cylinders/ clean domes, and maybey re-ring. check reeds/ clean carbs/ flush tank. the list goes on, but basically you are doing a full pm inspection, and you're the one doing it, so just get out the fine tooth comb, and make a list when you're done. alot will depend on if work has been done before too, like the sprockets/bolts, carier rebuild, cables, etcetera. steering away from inspecting the engine assy. is a bad move, IMHO. the gaskets are not toomuch, and you should inspect things like the clutch, impellar, cylinders, flywheel, since you already have it out, and it won't be that big of a deal to do.i did my impellar/ stator in belw zero temps, and it wasn't that hard :thumbsup:
