champ6966 Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 hello hq! I just got my adj timing plate but it didnt come with any instructions and i heard that you have to have a special puller for banshees to remove the flywheel i was wondering if that is true or can you use a normal universal automotive puller or anything else? ive never been in my shee that far so i thought id better ask if theres any thing else i may need or things to be careful of or just some more good advice from you more experenced guys? as always thx very much the hq has been a life saver for me every since i got the shee!

ledofthezep Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 DO NOT use any other puller other than the correct puller...you risk damaging the flywheel, fo shizzle. Do yourself a favor & save the time & headache, spend the $10 at the local stealer for the correct puller. Quote
champ6966 Posted June 18, 2005 Author Report Posted June 18, 2005 right on i also just found the other posts on the members that learned that the hard way so sorry about the repeated topic but i would still like to hear any advice to make sure it goes smoothly or am i being paranoid because its a simple task? thx!

bansheeryder_69 Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 Ditto I have an adjustable timing plate in the mail and was wondering if there are any special "TIPS" to putting it on, any advice would be helpfull. Quote
05bansh Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 An air gun makes it hell of a lot easier getting the flywheel off if you have access to one. (using the correct flywheel puller that is) Quote
williamjernigan Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 Here are some tips and steps to follow. 1. First put bike in gear and then remove foot peg, shifter, and side cover. 2. Next you will have a nut in the center of the flywheel to take off. If you do this by hand then you will need a special flywheel holder or clutch holder tool to keep the engine from turning over. The best thing to do is to take an impact wrench with a 17mm deep socket and take off the nut. With the impact the engine will most likely not turn over. However it is good to have someone hold the rear brake down too. 3. Now you will take the flywheel puller tool and nothing else to take off the flywheel. It has left hand threads so left loosy, righty tighty don't apply to this part in the process. After you thread it in make sure it bottoms out and then take the center bolt that screws in through the puller and tighten it. Again the impact will come in handy with this too. It will save you time and energy. Then the flywheel should come right off. 4. Now take off the stator and then you will see the stock timing plate. 5. Take the stock timing plate off and put the new plate on and set it to your desired timing mark. Make sure you set it according though. You set it according to the center crack in the cases. It goes right through the middle of the crankshaft. 6. Now when I installed my ricky stator timing plate I had a little problem with it sliding into place. They are made to fit tight. You may want to grind down the outer edges some but that is up to your descresion. 7. Then just reinstall everything and make sure you tight everything good. A few good hits with the impact on the flywheel nut will do the trick to get it tight. 8. Then you will be ready to go. Quote
ledofthezep Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 If you have the correct puller, removing the flywheel is a piece of cake. Replacing the stator is a breeze...here's some pics of mine that oughta help you out a bit. * If you're installing a Ricky Stator adjustable stator & it doesn't fit, don't freak out, you may just have to grind on it a bit by where the mounting bolts go to get it to slide in...you'll see what I'm talking about once you get to it. You can kinda see in this pic where it wasn't sliding in... If you have problems...the HQ will be here. Quote
Lou1 Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 Use the correct puller. I got mine from the dealer for around 10 bucks. You can also get one from Dennis Kirk if you want to wait for it to ship. I did not use the correct puller and have to replace my crankshaft. Take some extra time get yourself a small brass parts cleaning brush and a can of "good" penatrating oil like PB Blaster. Spray the threads on the ID of the flywheel and use the brush to clean out any dirt or junk that may be in the threads. Take your time and get it really clean. If not the puller may thread in all the way and you will ruin the pullerbefore the flywheel comes off. Good Luck ! Lou Quote

Also don't forget to set the pick up coil gap, I broke one by forgetting. good luck Quote
