Quint Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 HI all I know without pics etc it might be a very vague question but anyway. I am rebuilding my 2004 shee. Powdercoating frame and bits, so replacing bushings and bearings. Engine is having the head skimmed, new pistons, small end bearings, rings, gaskets, t5's, 2-1 pod filter, tors eliminator kit. hel brake lines, wavey discs, new pads, asv levers. Chain new sprockets. Main question is would i need an adjustable timing plate? is there any advantage? oh and what about the flywheel and cdi box they do as well? i have a stock swingarm and do anything from trails to blasting down the beach to belting round the field. I have read mixed things about ricky stator i know mostly good but as i am in the UK it would be a ball ache to receive something that was busted already. Thanks and sorry i dont post much i have spent weeks reading and learning. but as all i know is what i have learnt off here and the clymers manual i dont often feel i can help much. Quote

GET ONE!!! they are a banshee owners bible!!! you can learn to rebuild pretty much anything on that bike with that book... it covers the intire motor , full electrical diagram, breaks, crabs, everyting!

Quint Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Posted January 15, 2007 I have a clymer's and as you say I couldnt live without it!! Will aktive carbon reeds in the stock cages be much of a difference to the Vforce? I have ordered the Toomey T5's. As for the sprockets and brakes, the chain had quite bad wear in places and the rear sprocket was quite hooked. The rear brake was horrible and had some nasty grooves in it. I am only replacing the front pads and since the bike was completely stripped i thought i would ditch the whole flexi and hard pipe setup and go for the hel lines. And thanks for the explanation about the timing plate, think i might get one of the bundles with the cdi stator and plate. Quote
kubiac3 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 ive heard that advancing your timing with a timing plate and having a aftermarket cdi box will cause problems, even a no spark attitude. Could be totally wrong, but thought i would throw it out there. Quote

Could be totally wrong, but thought i would throw it out there. yup i would have to say that is incorrct... Dajo actually runs his +7 or +9 i cant member and his cdi advances too... the differance is the plate is stactic through the whole rpm band... where the cdi can be programmed to advance large numbers at low rpms to help bottom end and then taper off at higher rpms to help with top end... edit: just thought id post this... GOD DAMN those titties in my sig are DAMN nice! Edited January 16, 2007 by Bansh-eman Quote
