zr2highrider Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 I have had this issue ever since i got my banshee about a month ago but have been doing nothing but working on it. I notice that when my shee is ideling, i get a rattle noise on the left side. Yanked the stator cover and stator, no loose screws or anything. When I give it just a little gas, it goes away. My clutch makes a noise (needs new cushions in the basket) but I havent heard a noise like this on my left side. I took the stator cover off yesterday in investigate some more and didnt really find anything. I only noticed one thing; when I turn my stator back and forth, I can hear a little "ting" or "clunk". Its not much at all but I didnt remember my last shee doing this. The stator has no play in it so I doupt it would be a bearing. I am about to post a video up on here because I am really baffled. Funds are short right now so I cant really dig into the top end for about another month or so. Any ideas on what could be going on? Thanks, Cameron Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 You shouldn't be hearing any noises coming from your stator. You need to locate the source of that noise. Quote

locogato11283 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 If you don't get it figured out you can come up here next Saturday for the BansheeHQ Day. There will be a bunch of us working on bikes. I am sure we can get it figured out. Quote
Man-O-Steele Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 Post up a video. Mines doin something similar. Quote
zr2highrider Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Well, im really doupting its the stator. I was leaning more towards crank. Im just trying to diagnose this thing without replacing a bunch of stuff that doesnt need it. Im going to look into it deeper tommorrow. Hey tyler pm me about BansheeHQ day. I should be able to make it up there. I would rather someone take a look and give me an opinion on were to start who has more exprience. Taking a video tommorrow. Will keep updated.

zr2highrider Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Well I got a video of it but not running. Doing a clutch on it and also a water pump. Volume sucks on my ipod so you kind of have to turn the volume up to hear the noise. I found a video on youtube of what it sound like when it is running.

amstall Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Mine makes that same noise, I dunno if I'm just paranoid or if it's something going bad. Mine is in temporary retirement until I get the money for a serval motor. I guess I belong on YFZTech this year. lol Edited February 22, 2012 by amstall Quote

zr2highrider Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Posted February 23, 2012 Thats what I mean. I dont know if im just paranoid about blowing up my bottom end or if something is actually wrong. I mean I had an 98 shee and it never did this. From what it looked like on that one youtube video, a few people have had this and still ride. I would rather find out what it is and fix it before it is something thats going to cost $$$$. Quote
amstall Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Mine has done it for quite a while. It's definitely not normal though compared to other banshee's I've been around. I do know that the side-to-side play of my rods on the crank is out a spec a bit, but I didn't have money for a crank when I did the top end, so I left it. The last 2 times I had it out it ran like hammered dog shit and kept getting hot, so I parked it. Edited February 23, 2012 by amstall Quote
edgehanger Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 I had a banshee not to long ago rattling and knocking kinda like that...turned out to be the piston skirts. Bike still ran and never locked up. Not saying thats your problem but take the cylinder of and take a look. Maybe thats your flywheel...see if you can swap flywheels with some one. Quote
guns4children Posted July 10, 2021 Report Posted July 10, 2021 I know this shit is super old but does anyone remember what was wrong? Quote
