doing a top and bottom rebuild

[eldreder]

i got a free banshee from my girlfriend's dad, but it needs a new crank because one of the rod bearings is out, so i'm doing a full rebuild, and i was hoping for a little help with what all i need to buy/have done. tell me what i'm forgetting

 

cylinders bored

cylinders ported

new crank, welded

top end rebuild kit (gaskets and pistons and such)

bottom end rebuild kit (new crank, bearings, seals)

 

the transmission and clutch are both new

it needs a new clutch cable

carb rebuild kits

reed petals

 

that's all i can think of right now, what else needs to be done?

Dont for get Yamabond #4 to seal the cases and get a fresh clutch kit since you dont know the history of the bike.

water pump and seal. if the bike is very old, or never had the coolant changed the impellers fall apart.

I did a bottom end rebuild walk-through. Its a sticky at the top of the repairs and mods section. Check it out if you have any questions on the rebuild.

i've always seen stuff about the pancake bearings but idk what they are, could someone help me out?

and how would i be able to tell if the idler gear bearing is bad?

A Clymers manual...I'm not being a smartass either!!! That book was the best thing I have every purchased for my bike. It realy helps out when you forget where a piece goes, torque spec, adjustments, ect. I'm not second guessing your mechanical ability at all.... good luck with the rebuild!
