killer454 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 hello everybody I just picked up my first banshee yesterday and need some help with cylinders this banshee had 62 psi in 1 cylinder and 90 psi in the other. took it apart found weisco pistons in it and at a bore of 65.5 mm=.060 overbore I think I thought you could not bore out these stock cylinders from factory they look just like my nephews stock cr125r Honda dirt bike cylinders and I was told I could not bore those cylinders. are these cylinders on this banshee nickleseal coated im confused,i see on here where everybody is having them bored out but it does not look like a steel liner in them. can anybody help explain this this atv also has a lot of aftermarket parts but don't know who made the front a-arms it has works front shocks if I post a picture could anybody tell me the manufacturer? I will post pictures in a few I have to switch pcs to do it. Quote

trickedcarbine Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Stock banshees come with cast aluminum cylinders that had the iron sleeve pressed in. They are not nickasil like many dirtbikes from Honda, yamaha,etc. However with the cylinders on that current bore you actually may be a candidate for nickasil if you bore them to 66mm. That is pretty much their last leg but if they are ported or any thing special it is an option to keep them around. Quote
