cost of a top end job

[yamahaman244]

hey guys i was jw what do u think the total cost would be to do a top end job for the parts like the pistons and the gasktets and maybe if u had to bore it to

usually around $300 with a bore

[shanYE west]

looking to be about 300 parts and labor. By labor I mean bore/hone/chamfer

 

160-180 for pistons

100 labor

20-40 gaskets

 

ofcourse it will be alot more if you pay someone to disassemble/assemble it for you.

alrgiht thanks guys um im just sick of my friends that have a raptor and 4 strokes and tehy say that the 4 strokes are cheaper to rebuild and im like i dont thik so what do u guys think about that

Not only is it cheaper to rebuild a 2 stroke, you can double the power with a 1/3 of the cost for the same gains on a 4 stroke. I have seen people with 15k Raptors get their feelings hurt by a 6k Banshee.

a bore and a piston is a bore and a piston. banshee pistons are a little cheaper than 4 stroke pistons, but you have 2 cylinders to bore. They are about the same. 2 strokes need top end builds more often, but are alot more simple to take apart and put together. IMO they both have pros and cons, but pretty much even out any way you look at it. As mentioned above, 2 stoke motors cc per cc make more power also.

ya i have seen taht to alot more money into the 4 strokes but how often do the 4 strokes blow up or need a rebuild

 

and why do the banshees need a rebuild so often jw

They don't! Take care of it, make sure it's jetted properly and with quality oil it will last for years. :thumbsup:

2 stroke motors stay in a higher rpm range, and the cylinders have less "meat" to them. longer 4 stroke motors like a raptor 700 should last quite a long time, were as the 450 prob only last 20-30 hrs longer than an eqivelent 2 stroke motor. As in piston/ring material, filter type, ect..
