Drturbodiesel Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hey guys I'm gettin ready to do a top end overhaul on a bone stock 05 model. What all is nescery to be removed to access cylinders? About how much time does it usually take from starting the job to having cylinders off. Just wanting a estimate thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodneym Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I would remove the plastics, gas tank you will have to unbolt the carbs and get them out of the way. Unplug some of the wiring and move it. Then unbolt the cylinders and slide them off. You can do it in a couple days taking your time.

stokes77 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 If you are at all familiar with your bike teardown will probably be 2-3 hours and another 3-4 hours to rebuild probably. I just stripped my bike completely and tore down the whole motor in about 6 hours. My first time into the bottom end and I was taking my time.

Infamous039 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 2-3hrs ? man I tear banshee down in 1hr 30min, motor takes me about 1hr b/c I'm tedious when it comes to that. The main thing is having an air compression makes the job that much easier and quicker.

andrew3160 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Don't get in a hurry if it's your first time tearing your motor down. If you get in a rush It will be Likely that you have issues after you put it all back together. 2-3 hours to tear down is about right, it can be done faster but then again why rush. Something that always helps me is taking pictures as you tear the motor down and get ziplock bags to put nuts,bolts, and parts in so you can label them.

Drturbodiesel Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Thanks for tha info guys. I am a certified technician on cummins and Chrysler products and have done many single cyl dirt bikes and atvs. Just wondering about that stuff to make it that much faster cause I'm workin outside and planning around the weather. Never done a banshee before but I am confident just wanted a time estimate. Thanks and keep ringing and dinging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayAiken Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Those JLSparky vids actually help alot. And if your going outside the best case would be rain night before and a nice day afterwards. The rain will keep dust down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
