Complete Tear Down

[laketappsbanshee]

I'm getting ready to do a complete tear down this winter. The reason for the tear down is I have a new frame and swingarm as well as other components I'm getting powdercoated. I also have to change out the crank case seal. This is my first Banshee and I am learning as I go. I know this is a broad question but I'm looking for any tips or advice from people who have done a tear down before. I already purchased a clymer manual but other than that I'm just going to start tearing it down.....thanks for any advice!

Just follow the Clymer manual for the engine and you'll be fine. As far as the chassis tear down, just keep up with everything. I have found that the longer you have everything apart, the more nuts, bolts, fasteners, etc, that are missing...regardless of how well you boxed everything up.

 

Then again, I'm real bad about borrowing from one bike/build to another, then forgetting what I stole from what bike, and what needs to be replaced/ordered, etc.
