Ron Burgandy Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 I just picked up a used 04 Banshee and was curious to what sort of maintanance I should be running on my bike? ...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Quote
Dinner Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Umm, i usually change my transmission oil every 5-10 rides, check my spark plugs every once in awhile and see if i need new ones or not. Make sure that the coolant isnt low. Grease all the bushings, swing-arm up whenever they need it. Oil the chain before and after every ride. Umm can't think of anything else as of right now. Other guys will chip in :beer: Quote
Hilarious Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Keep your air filter clean at all times and run good, fresh premix. :beer: Quote
csrmel Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 lube all the cables, grease the brake and clutch lever, grease the foot brake lever, check the rear axle bolts to be sure they are properly tightend. wouldnt hurt to bleed the brakes. Quote
baddsheee Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Since you bought it used, I would strongly suggest to take apart the carbs and clean them, and if the TORS aren't removed, it wouldn't be a bad idea to knock that out. When I bought mine the guy said I just did everything to it. BullShit :shoothead: . Carbs were all full of dirt. Can't think of anything else right now. They pretty much got it covered. Quote

dajogejr Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 what kind of transmission oil do I use? Ron... Do a search...all this has been covered EXTENSIVELY...time and time again. Gear oil, fuel type, Premix type, air filter oil, air filter type, chain oil, gas/oil ratio, etc. etc. etc. has been coverd dozens and dozens of times, and it's all about personal preference. Quote
Washburn Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 what kind of transmission oil do I use? I use Yamalube 4R 10w30 and Yamalube 2R at 32:1 and of course "60% of the time, it works, EVERYTIME". Quote

Sort of burns the nostrils. Smells like gasoline... Smells like Bigfoot's dick.... Classic, for sure.... Quote

Haha yeah, I wondered if anyone besides me and Ron would get that. BTW I sure could use your advise in my T5 T6 Thread. :beer: Quote
