It may not run shitty but it won't run as good as if it were properly packed. Without it they sound loud and stupid.

how often do you have to pack it?

They run better when packed properly. I've repacked mine twice already since summer began but I think I am doing it incorrectly. I believe I read somewhere that they should be repacked every 20-30 hours of riding time. Lets face it, its a Banshee, you rebuild more than that.

actually its every 10-20 hours. I definately dont rebuild more than that, hell I had well over a 100 hours on my last cylinders before the cubs.

 

Packing is nothing more than fiberglass fire resistant.....

Maybe a re-ring every 30 hours, but I'dgo with after your riding season. If you dont ride year round than sometime during the offseason it would be a good idea to break it down and put new rings on the pistons.

when my bikes get weak i put pig putty on the pistons then sand off the extras like an autobody shop does and a rubber band in the ring groove, hey it works!
