NEVER SATISFIED Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 and here you have it...!!! left one smokes more probably because the packing is holding in some oil.Regardless...they both should be repacked. Since the previous owner had the bright idea of only replacing one piston, I'd give that whole bike a once over. From grease fittings to tightening bolts, changing fluids to checking some torque specs... I'd most definately repack BOTH silencers and clean out both carbs for sure. 365111[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansheeman1121 Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Id take the time and money and do both cylinders at the same time, and pack both silencers, banshees like for everything to be perfect anything less its not going to run right, take the time and go over everything , its not worth just hoping on it and riding it becuase it wont last long, also the side with no packing will smoke alot more.

dajogejr Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Sheeman is right. You need to do both sides properly... You may think it's expensive now. It will only get more expensive if it's not done right. There are rewards to having a good running twin... There's also a downside...
