Glorfindel Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Hello, i've just bought this banshee, 2006, sport ported, planed head, T5 with yellow power coated frame. No mod on the frame or suspenssion. The base/tranny is original, so i think i will start by that. i want to put new bearings/seal/gaskett, there is rebuilt kit for that or i have to purshase items separetly?? Quote
oldskool Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Looks good, now do a leakdown test on motor and if it passes move on to compression test. The leakdown test is critical! Are you familiar with a banshee? welcome to BHQ Quote

The leakdown test is critical! Are you familiar with a banshee? welcome to BHQ Still on his original bore, with new pistons, 137psi compression. I didnt check the squish so far to see how Munch shaving it got. Will do the leak test!! I want to open it up anyway ;-) I dont think it will hurt to change the bearings and i will be sure that the bottom is ok. Will put some pics of the porting job, it was made by a well known guys here. It's my first Banshee, i realy love 2 strokes, i played a lot with snowmobile 2 strokes engine. I bought the Banshee 'cause i want to mod it, play with setup etc and making new pièces (covers, hubs, impeller, shift star etc.) I have the chance to have access to CNC mill (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpydPwF3Kww) and mill-turn (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yArWbp-H2o) so i want to make most of my own parts. Thx for the reply! Edited February 10, 2015 by Glorfindel Quote
trickedcarbine Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 OEM or K&S seals HotRods tranny bearing kit Max load bearings and a weld on the crank should suffice. Quote
Glorfindel Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Posted February 11, 2015 Looks sharp, can I ask what the price tag was? 3500$Can. Quote

So happy with my purchase Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk you can start by throwing those front shocks in the bin, they are SHIT...1000 times worse than OEM and dangerous creepy old man graphics are killer though Quote
