Audiowizard Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 I did a compression check on my '01 Banshee and its at 105 PSI on both cylinders. The cylinder head has never been off since new. Just checking to see what a 3+ year Banshee should be reading on the compression test, thanks! Quote
deathmetal5150 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 Should be at 120psi. Everyone says under 100, time for a new top end! Quote
Audiowizard Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Posted September 17, 2004 Should be at 120psi. Everyone says under 100, time for a new top end! Thanks! It still pulls hard like a freight train. Doing a cylinder port next winter so I planned on a new top end anyways, just not sure which head to go with yet! Quote
John19 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 They usually do pull really hard before a new top-end is needed. I was with a friend of mine who didnt do a compression check on this banshee he bought, and it ran like a raped ape. Took it back to the shop it had 100-105 compression. Quote
Audiowizard Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Posted September 17, 2004 Whats your elevation? 1017 ft / 310 m Quote
sredish Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 Yeah, stock at 1,000 should be around 120. Watch it and keep riding it, she goes any lower than 100 or 95, then top end time, unless you have some off time this winter and just wanna go ahead and do it, no prob there. Quote
