94Mike Posted September 4, 2011 Report Posted September 4, 2011 sorry mike94 i must have misunderstood your post, Np, i was just suprised lol i didnt think i was meaning that since the pipes were black they were stock (including any aftermarket pipes that are black) Quote
Banshee Boy 95 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Posted September 5, 2011 anybody know where to look to see if they are vin numbers or logos or anything on rocket pipes? also is there any specific kind of coolant i should use? or specific crank case oil? Quote

Post some decent quality, up close pics of the exhaust here, there are lots of people here that will properly ID the manufacturer. Also take pics of the cylinder head up closer, and the carbs, I suspect that this banshee may have more than just pipes and filters? You may want to think about checking the compression on the bike before running too much pump gas thru it as well, at least stick with premium pump gas. You need to figure out what this bike actually has. Quote
SandmanPNW Posted September 5, 2011 Report Posted September 5, 2011 The first thing I would check after purchasing a banshee is my bank account. Welcome aboard Quote
sandshred25 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Posted September 5, 2011 i'm still new to the banshee, but shouldn't he check the jetting, say he lives at sea level and bought it from someone at a higer elavation, wouldnt that lean him out? Quote
gotta_goatsfast Posted September 5, 2011 Report Posted September 5, 2011 Welcome to the site. First off, you do not put any oil into the crankcase. The reason you blend a lubricant with your fuel is to lubricate your rotating assembly's bearings and seals which are found in the crankcase. I would change the transmission fluid and coolant right away. Go over all suspension, steering, and brake components. Grease all that can be greased and check every bearing, bushing, joint, and pivot point for tightness and wear. verify the compression of each cylinder. perform a plug chop to ensure proper jetting... address the jetting if it is incorrect. Pull all electrical connections and dab with dielectric grease. Buy a clymer's repair manual and perform a complete tune-up. Also, you have R2 pipes. They are nice pipes (what I run). Tom Borrink does not stamp any logos or identification onto the pipes. As for jetting they seem to like a leaner pilot jet compared to other top end pipes. Quote
Banshee Boy 95 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Posted September 5, 2011 I will put up some pics when I get home from work. Also when I said crankcase oil I ment the gear oil or transmission oil. What ever u want to call it. Awesome so u can tell they are the r2 pipes? Sick, well then I got a good deal for 2000. Tomorrow I will pick up some coolant oil and premix oil as everything is closed today. Thanks guys! Quote
Banshee Boy 95 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Posted September 7, 2011 ok heres a pic of the head and pipes. i still ahvent had time to cleam it up yet so its a bit dirty buy u can still see. Quote

Based on your pics, your cylinder head is stock. Looks like the bike could use some TLC and cleaning up, and all the things that gotta go fast listed. Other than some luv, it needs you to ride and enjoy it! Quote

gotta_goatsfast Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 Upon closer inspection of the pictures, you have the original Rockets, not the R2s. Still awesome pipes! Quote
thrill-billy85 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) dude those are rocket pipes.... dont fucking sell them... the originals are badass. they are the best imho. nice buy. ps if you have an o-ring chain dont put wd40 on it..... itll just dry out and cause the orings to crack Edited September 7, 2011 by thrill-billy85 Quote
