streetshee Posted November 25, 2003 Report Posted November 25, 2003 just an idea that grabbed me by the short an curlys today about possible damage to crank bearings and pistons/bores when giving the shee more power,the reason being that the gear from crank to clutch drive is cut at an angle (spiral),that means that the crank is being pulled to the side because of the spiral gears,maybe not much,but there will be a lot of force outwards to the right and in from the left thus causing the rods to also be pulled at an angle and pistons too,maybe were only talking about 0.01 mm,now i thought of straight cut gears from crank to clutch,also get better power from straight cuts,(less friction). wattaya think????

rebelbanshee2 Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 they make em. i believe hinson has the setup...mega expensive, but looks way cool...i want one Quote
fixitrod Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 That's why people also use the tz bearing on the clutch side. That's usually the first bearing to go. ... Now your thinkin though. Quote
itsaripper Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 Your thinken right. The high hp banshee's use strait cut gears. But they cost. I just happend to be on www.superiorsleeve.com last night and they sell them $425. Just a idea, maybe a street bike uses the same clutch as the banshee but with the strait gears. Maybe the RZ, I never payed attention when looking at a RZ motor. Somebody know??? Quote
streetshee Posted November 28, 2003 Author Report Posted November 28, 2003 realy!? ok hear goes,next week im gonna put new bearings in,and do the nipple mod,(u know,bore a hole in carrier so can pump it full of grease with a nipple,remove the inner seals). take the distance spacer inbetween the bearings and mill a spiral in it from the middle outwards to the left and the right,point being that the grease will be forced towards the bearings thus giving maximum lubrication and life. wickid eh? wattaya think now? this is definatly my idea now! if anyone allready makes it i kill em.!

cb67rs1 Posted November 29, 2003 Report Posted November 29, 2003 i dont think that is a new mod, i have done it on an old banshee i had years ago and i see people do it all the time. i have even put them on the ball joints of the a arms. good luck though Quote
streetshee Posted November 29, 2003 Author Report Posted November 29, 2003 yeh when im walking up the street i see people all the time with a milling machine,just milling away like there late for evolution or something,strange? dont talk shit,nobody mills a spiral in there carrier! its an original idea by streetshee myself.behave yourself cb79rf1.show me a picture then....................?

streetshee Posted November 29, 2003 Author Report Posted November 29, 2003 read my post properly,i said do the usual mod with the nipple,"and" mill the spacer,i know the nipple trick is old. Quote
cb67rs1 Posted November 29, 2003 Report Posted November 29, 2003 i dont see any advantage over what you want to do , but go for it, when you install a zerk fitting and grease the carrier its going to go in the bearings, it has no where else to go, i read your post , you make no sense Quote
