bansheefreestyler Posted June 9, 2005 Report Posted June 9, 2005 hey guys. Can you get case savers for banshees? When I was taking off my chain and sprockets today i noticed there is a plastic pice at the top of the stator cover? What does that do? Also what is the white piece behing the front sprocket for? Ok and the bolts at the bottom of the carrier are those for tightening and loosening your chain? If there not how do you do it? Also is it hard to replace axle bearings. As soon as i get the sprocket hub off or w/e its called should my bearings be right there and i can just change em out and go from there? Sorry for all the questions I just never knew about this stuff. Thanks Quote
FadedDreams Posted June 9, 2005 Report Posted June 9, 2005 One of our sponsers "ModQuad" has both plastic and aluminum case savers.I've never taken my axle bearings out yet,so i can't help you there. Quote
kw04 Posted June 9, 2005 Report Posted June 9, 2005 once you pull the axle out there will be a seal then the bearing on each side. make sure you buy new seals when you get the bearings just incase you screw one up pullung them out. Quote
bansheefreestyler Posted June 9, 2005 Author Report Posted June 9, 2005 alright thanks for the reply guys. any other info would be greatly appreciated about my other ?s Quote
Mr.Giggles Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 (edited) once you pull the axle out there will be a seal then the bearing on each side. make sure you buy new seals when you get the bearings just incase you screw one up pullung them out. 379725[/snapback] Yes the two bolts at the bottom and along with the top one have to be loosened to adjust your chain,the two that face towards the back do the chain tightening though. As far as that white dohickey behind the sprocket,it hold something in place in the tranny just can't think what it is at the moment,I'm having a seniors moment. If it has a chain case saver on it ,it would wrap around the front half of your sprocket to fill in the space between the sprocket and the case!!! Those axle bearings can be a bit@* to get out.a good hunk of brass or hard wood will be needed to whale the axle out,then you got to get the bearings out of the housing,I used a long punch and tapped them out,you will know what to use when you get that far.

wesw Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 send a email to [email protected] say you heard he makes a casesaver for a banshee. say you heard it on hq.com and he will give you free shipping the piece is 20 bucks and is worth every cent Quote
. Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 the stuff on the stator cover, that is yamaha's cheap casesaver. Get a polyurethane one (that rossman guy the one that sells the poly ones on ebay?) They work much better than the aluminum ones. The white piece is just a cover for a hole for the tachometer on the rz350 streetbikes Those bolts are for tightening and loosening the chain, Loosen the upper and lower bolts that hold the carrier to the swingarm, loosen the outer nut on the (chain adjusters) and then turn the inner one in to tighten. You want to have them adjusted the same to make sure your axle is straight. I usually just count the threads on the inner bolt to make sure. Buy a pivot works rear axle bearing kit, they are pretty good bearings and hold up pretty long. The All Balls ones are crap....they didnt last me a couple days of beating on them hard. Get yourself a hunk of brass like mentioned and a hand sledgehammer and bang on them a couple times and they should come right out. Get some PB Blaster (penetrating lubricant, can get at walmart or pep boys), and spray it on the outside of the bearings after you pull the seals out. It'll make your job a lot easier. To put the bearings in, I got a piece of pipe that was just a hair smaller than the carrier and about 3 inches long, and I bang them in with that, making sure to keep the bearing straight going in. DONT FORGET TO PUT THE INNER RACE TUBE BACK IN BEFORE YOU PUT THE 2ND BEARING IN. I use a rubber mallet for the seals, one or 2 good pops and their usually in. Make sure they are seated against the bearing all the way, or your sprocket and brake hub wont go in all the way. Quote

Just incase you didnt know, you need to get some bearing grease also.. i find it easier to use a socket the size of outer ring on the bearing to hit them in, goes in strait that way, i cant think of the size at the moment but you get the picture.. Didnt you ask us about the carrier bearings a while ago? Goodluck.. Eric Quote
