woodro77 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 banshee has new top end , bottom end has new seals and everything checked out, motor runs good. starts on one kick , took it down the street for a 1 minute ride and oil started coming out of the hose near front. the hose comes from the back of the case into a tee , then one comes from the clutch side to the same tee , then it goes to the front and just hangs over the pipes, oil came spitting from that hose with pressure , how can the tranny have pressure ? please help i just built this shee and want to ride it.

Bansh-eman Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 that hoes coming from the cover is a vent into your clutch cover... as far as why it had pressure to shoot out oil im not sure man... maybe your crank seals arnt seated all the way? or maybe your bond around the case halfs is leaking but like i said im not sure man iv never had that problem Quote
RATBIKE0130 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) If your oil does not have coolant in it, did you make sure you lined up the little bumps on the bearings with the notches in the case? Before you just tear it back apart do a leak down test with the clutch cover off and make sure it's not the main seal. Make sure you seal the coolant tube that goes through the top case. If you are losing pressure try pinching the vent hose on the back of the motor for for a min. then release it. If you hear air escape when you release the hose split the case and check the bearings alignment. If it's not leaking out there it could be a head gasket/o-ring.

locogato11283 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 you have something pressurizing your cases where your clutch and gears are. ive had it happen. youre sure your seals all seated correctly? you make sure your yamabond was on good between the gears and the crankcase? how bad is it leaking out? dripping or flowing? how muchoil do u have in your cases??

woodro77 Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Posted July 27, 2006 oil level is good , i had the bottom end done by a really good builder that has done alot of banshee motors but who knows , im going to do a leak down test to see if seals are good. thanks for the info Quote
