np88 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 Hi guys, new to the forums and I was wondering if someone could steer me in the right direction. I have a 88 banshee that had a siezed piston when I got it . The rod that was on that side has a little more play to it. Should I get some weisco rod kits and new bearings for my stock crank and have it trued and balanced or go aftermarket? Im just kind of scared to run a hot rods crank cause ive seen vids and seen posts on here about the lower rod bearings siezed up and what not. The bearings are made in china and I dont feel comfortable with that. Are their any other reliable cranks that run u.s. or jap bearings? Weisco or vitos? I already bought pistons so it needs to be 110mm rod stock stroke . Thank you guys Quote
jriffe23 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 ive got you a stock stroke crank. $175 shipped and its yours. Rod kits will require machining. Mine is a stock crank out of a 2002 banshee, with low hour, just went to a 4 mil. Quote

registered user Posted September 19, 2014 Report Posted September 19, 2014 in the dirtbike world, hotrods crankshaft assemblies are at the bottom of the qaulity list, right next to wiseco. not sure how they hold up for the banshee stuff though. if you want to avoid china and taiwan stuff as much as possible you could probly put some prox rods and lower pin on the hotrods webs. you can check into it yourself but from my research the 03.2310F prox rod should go on the hotrod webs but youll need to cut the pin length down about 4mm. simple as pie for a machinist or any legitimate crank shop. i think k&t has some billet rods but im not sure of the details on them Quote
registered user Posted September 19, 2014 Report Posted September 19, 2014 i just noticed you can get a new complete oem crankshaft for $438 from service honda Quote
np88 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Posted September 19, 2014 That sounds pretty reasonable, its probably going to be 65 to 70 hp. Not sure how tuff oem rods are but im pretty sure other guys run modded shees on stock rods . Cool thanks for the info! Quote

trickedcarbine Posted September 19, 2014 Report Posted September 19, 2014 ^ they are pretty stout in the banshees. Had two weiscos in my banshee as I get a deal on them. They're like hot rods for dirt bikes. Super mid grade at best. The new Vito's however, believe it or not is a very fucking stout piece. Quote
np88 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Posted September 19, 2014 Just called vitos and their out of stock til next year! Quote
trickedcarbine Posted September 21, 2014 Report Posted September 21, 2014 Twister if you got cash, Hot Rods banshee cranks have proven them selves on 100+ hp motors time and time again. Quote
