After a year of my Banshee sitting, I'm getting ready to start a complete rebuild of it. I'm also looking to sell my '05 YFZ450 SE soon. One year ago a few meth heads stole my 400ex and Banshee and to make a long story short, we eventually got both of them back. But as we all know, meth heads don't take care of stolen machines. The 400ex wasn't beaten up that bad, but I sold it to a friend for cheap just to get rid of it. About a month later the police found my Banshee in the middle of a woods slowly rotting. It appears the engine seized at low RPM (probably idle) because only one cylinder was seized and there was minimal damage to the cylinder. The head was badly damaged on the seized cylinder side as there are small pits all over it (detonation?). They must've been running low octane non-mixed gas. Well, as you all know, when a machine is sitting in the middle of the woods open to all elements for a few months, mother nature isn't easy on it. It's rusted all over and everything is shot (what pisses me off the most is that I just spent $1000 rebuilding the engine and that's all got to be gone through again and my new FMF pipes and silencers are rusted). My question now is, can someone give me a COMPLETE list of all bearings and bushings, etc. that I need to replace to get this in good rolling condition. Also, what should I look for when going through the engine? As I said, this engine was completely rebuilt just a few months before and only had been broken in. My next question is, is there a reputable company that makes good bearings/bushings and possibly sells a complete rebuild kit or just all the individual bearings/bushings for a decent price? The bearings/bushings will be for all stock components (still running all stock suspension/a-arms/swingarm).

 

Thanks, and yes I did a search and couldn't find a complete list for this and any company names were given about two years ago, so I wnat to make sure they're current and still around.

just look through any site like Yamaha of Troy that has the exploded veiw micro fiche to make a list of the ones you'll need. Between Pivot works and All Balls, you should be able to find most of them as sets. Check for them through Rocky Mountain.
