tylers10 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 hey could anyone give me some info I have a 1998 banshee with dynoport 2 into 1 exhaust and carb spacers and it just started makind a tiking sound after my last ride but i did over heat on that ride just wondering if anyone could give me an idea of were to start looking to get rid of it Quote
Barrymaxx Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 Could be piston slap, bad rod berings, wristpin, main beairings. Lots of things. Quote
jbooker82 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 Pull the jugs and see what the topend looks like. If you dont and keep riding, then your problems will only get worse and the cost of the repairs will go up. Quote
locogato11283 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 need to be a little more specific with the sound. can you hear it at idle or more so when revved up? is it a fast ticking, like everytime the pistons go up and down? hell ticking noises can come from anywhere. suspension, clutch, bearings, rings..hell damn near anything could possibly tick.

Barrymaxx Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 Yea, pull the cylinders. If its piston slap, get it bored and new pistons now. If you continue to ride, your gonna be breaking skirts and doing more damage then you want. Quote
Geoff Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 Mine made a ticking sound until last week when I lightened one piston when I put a hole in it :: But from measuring the cylinders it was probably because they were out of round and it was piston slap since the cylinders were wore out. The good part is Redline is cleaning up the port work and fixing the nick in the base of the cylinder that caused me to blow the hole in the piston. Hope you get it figured out before it becomes a really expensive fix. Quote
CenCalBanshee Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 I agree dont run the thing untill you pull the topend if its a engine noise. i made the newb mistake when i first got my banshee and kept running it. It cracked 1 piston around the wristpin and the other piston threw a skirt. but they were crap pistons in there anyways and the guy i bought it from did a patch job. Quote
tylers10 Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Posted December 14, 2006 hey just wondering if you guys have any suggestion on what pistons to get if i need them when i rip apart my motor and if you were wondering i can only hear it when its idling Quote
jbooker82 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 weisco prolites Forged piston that you cant go wrong. Quote
RUREADY Posted December 17, 2006 Report Posted December 17, 2006 tylers10 is my brother, turns out it was a bushing on the kickstart that was giving the ticking sound. alot easier fix. Quote
