awesomeame Posted July 7, 2006 Report Posted July 7, 2006 hi everyone! tonight i picked up my first banshee, it's a 2001 with white plastics. not really a fan of the white, but i couldn't pass on the price! it needs some work, new axle bearings in the back, and a bushing on the right hand lower control arm. needs some other little things but should be good to go pretty soon, i can't wait to hit some quarry's. seeya around --matt Quote

awesomeame Posted July 8, 2006 Author Report Posted July 8, 2006 thanks for all the welcomes!! i was gonna take pics tonight, but dammit i forgot, i'll try tomorrow. right now i have all the wheels off and it's sitting up on a stool. i'm going through it front to back checking everything i can think of. tonight i ended up tightening every single bolt on the front suspension...evvverything was loose...so i'll be checking every other bolt on the quad..b-o-r-i-n-g!! this thing wasn't really maintained, it seems it was just ridden. i don't think the chain has ever come off, i had to get a hammer and punch out to open the link up, so looks like i'm in for a chain & sprocket set for sure so far. --matt Quote
awesomeame Posted July 9, 2006 Author Report Posted July 9, 2006 finished going through the quad today, and went to the dealer to order parts. needs new rear bearings, spacer & seals, chain, sprockets, inline fuel filter, new grips, new rear brakes and that's it. here are some pics of the rear bearings...TOTALLY dry and here are a couple pics of the quad --matt Quote

BigRed350x Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 Naw, those bearings have like another 5 years of use in them. Quote
Animalman294 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 Nah, spray a little WD-40 in there and you could get another 8 years easy. :yelrotflmao: Please tell me that in the one picture you didn't take your shee apart with a crescent wrench....... Quote
awesomeame Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Posted July 11, 2006 Please tell me that in the one picture you didn't take your shee apart with a crescent wrench....... yeh i had to use that for the axle nuts :ninja: they're 1-15/16", i have one set of bigass wrenches, but i needed something else to hold the axle in place....so adjustible it was don't ask me how the hell i'm going to torque those axle nuts to spec though! --matt Quote
