banshee crank seal reply

[the skin doctor]

i just want to say thank you for all the input you people have given me.i was told that the right crank seal was bad thats why it was smoking so much out of the right side exhaust [brake side].tedder wrote that he wasnt sure that it was crank seal.its not leaking any oil like he said at all.a friend told me to do a compression test and i havent had any time.i'm a tattoo artist and have an extremely busy schedule..... all i know that it pours smoke out of the right side the last time i rode it.one person said that if that seal goes bad it lets the tranny oil past the seal and into the right cylinder which makes perfect since to me .[i was a bmw tech for 5 years] it has alot of missing in the engine also.i like to do wheelies and its missing to much for that.i had swamped it asbout a month ago [water over the pipes] and it hasnt run right since.i only bought this thing about a month and a half ago and am sort of pissed off. i hope that it dont end up costing me thousands of dollars more.i only like to have fun on it.but hey if i got to fix it any way, i'm going to make this thing as fast as can be. another question do any of you let people ride your quad? i let one person and he really dont know what hes doing. when i get this rolling hard thats out the question,[buy your own shit...............thanks again..............i love this site and having a banshee..................

Too many people ride or borrow things and break them, then when you ask what they did, they say nothin' it just broke. So, with that in mind..................

 

Nobody rides my shee, unless you are blood, or have been around the family for so long you may as well be and other people think you are................ :beer:

I just wanted to chime in and say that if only the seal is bad and you didnt do any more damage(i.e. sucked air and smoked a cylinder) it should only cost about 45 dollars for seals 6 or 7 for the yamabond and a few buck for oil and antifreeze. And you can change them youself. It sounds like you are mechanically inclined so buy a book read it over before you start working on it just to get familiar with how everything goes together and you will be fine. If you run into a problem we will be more than willing to help you out. Just my .02

 

 

oh by the way I only let a select few drive my stuff. Even my pedal bike for that matter. I always usually get it back with something wrong and no one ever tells the truth about what happened anyway.
