mattycotter Posted February 13, 2015 Report Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Hi guys recently I got my banshee rebuild top and bottom end I rode the bike for about 4 hours then parked it in the shed for a month. Thought I would start it up the other day and it was making this werid ticking from the engine but I can't find out what it could be anyone else have this problem Edited February 13, 2015 by mattycotter Quote

mattycotter Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Posted February 13, 2015 it only makes the noise when it is cold once its hot it goes away Quote
mattycotter Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Posted February 14, 2015 I am running 15w 50 oil and the water pump and seals got done as well when rebuild was done Quote
sheerider11 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Was the basket tight? Good bushings? Idler gear good? Quote
kawa110 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 https://vimeo.com/119614860 I been riding mine like I stole it for over 3 seasons( prolly time for rings)....been ticking since I got her....runs strong... Quote
trickedcarbine Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 I'd at least pop the clutch cover and verify things are all the way they should be. Quote
mattycotter Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Posted February 14, 2015 Yer the basket is tight Quote
trickedcarbine Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Ok, how bout the kicker gear? Is it wobbly? If it's starting to get play, it can spit the clip off if not fixed with a new bushing. And it can definitely be what's making the irregular ticking. Quote
mattycotter Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Posted February 14, 2015 I thought it was the piston tapping the top of the head but I took spark plugs out so there was no compression and slowly pushed the kick start down and yer you can hear a slight ticking noise when u push kick start Down I will check to see if the kicker gear is wobbly tomorrow and let u know what the go it Quote
