Go with the HOTROD crank they come welded from the factory. Quote
bansheejoel Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Posted January 20, 2008 as far as labor how much do you think i would be looking at? i can do almost everything as far as disassembly but i dont even want to mess with the bottom end like the trans gears and shit....i dont have the patience to do that lol Quote
sheerider1026 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 man i have a deal for you, i have a stock stroke hot rods crank(very low hour) it looks like it came out of the box, the cases are powdercoated silver mettalic, and the transmission is stock and in great shape, it is however missing the clutch basket, this is basically a complete bottomend, all u need to do is bolt on the stuf off your old motor.. 400 + shipping.. let me know Quote
bansheejoel Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Posted January 20, 2008 that is a good damn deal but i just picked up the shee 2 weeks ago and have ran it very little since ive had it due to it being 15 degrees out....i started it up yesterday and it runs like a raped ape but there is a slight noise that can only be heard at idle so i think it might be a crank bearing or a wristpin bearing im not sure yet i was just wondering what kind of labor rates i would be looking at for splitting the cases and putting new bearings and seals in just so i would know i am also putting in a new top end and boring it but can do that myself il let you know after i tear it down and see what it is.....can anyone give me a ballpark figure on what it costed them to have the cases split and new crank installed or just new bearings and seals thanks guys for the help Quote
sheerider1026 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 i would be willing to make a trade for the bottom end that you have for mine.. gove me you bottom end and 300.00 a new hotrod crank itswlf is around 350.00 Quote
bansheejoel Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Posted January 20, 2008 il let you know i just dont think il let my bottom end go for $100 bucks no offence or anything but good cases go for more than that and my cases are PERFECT id rather give you 400 and keep my bottom end il let you know either way thanks man Quote
sheerider1026 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 my cases are also good and are freshly powdercoated and look awesome.. just powdercoating a set of cases alone is worth quite a bit.. Quote
csrmel Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 ive got an oem crank with 20 hours on it. it was sent out to get trued but it didnt need any trueing since it was not twisted so i got it back. the bearings and everything are in perfect shape. im asking $150 and ill include the shipping.

bansheejoel Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Posted January 21, 2008 that sounds pretty good...do you happen to know roughly how much it would cost me to have mine swaped out for that one? thanks Quote
bansheejoel Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Posted January 21, 2008 anyone?????? can someone tell me how much roughly it would cost me to get a crank swaped out if i have the top end already taken off and have the crank Quote
BigRed350x Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 Honestly, you should just find someone close to you and see if you can buy them some beer & pizza or something and have a buddy who knows these bikes help you out. I do that for guys here in town. a 12 pack of pepsi, and two large pizza's and I will help them split cases. Its not hard to do at all. Just intimidating the first time you do it. Once you've done a few its nothing to tear them apart. Takes me around an hour and a half to two hours to completely split them open and have everything out and cleaned. Start a thread and ask some of the members here if anyone is close to you and willing to help you out. Once you split it, replace your bearings and seals while you are in there. Check your clutch components as well as your crank. I've mis-diagnosed a weird grinding noise for a crank bearing when it was clutch components that were bad. Quote
bansheejoel Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Posted January 21, 2008 ive got a guy that works on my 2-stroke sleds and dirtbikes but the thing is that he owns i think 2 or 3 drag banshees and is always at silver lake sand dunes and competes in the drags every weekend i know this is going to sound like BULLSHIT but he fucks banshees up one of my dads buddys from work used to drag at silver lake to and he had a 3 cylinder trinity engine and brought it in there and the guy knew who it was...it went in there to get somthing clutch related because everytime he was getting ready to take off the clutch would engage and he would get false starts...well to make a long story short my dads friend got it back went to the drags and ended up he jetted it while it was there and wasnt even supposed to and fried the engine....other than him there is only one yamaha dealer and there DICKS im only 20 make decent money at work so id kinda rather take it in and have it done by someone that does it for a living than me do it myself and end up screwing it up and having to take it there anyway...im not unfamilar to 2-strokes just unfamilar to bottom ends...i wish i had someone to help me out with the bottom end hell id be more than willing to pay them and give them a couple cases of beer haha my dads got a MINT rz 350 kenny roberts edition in the garage with some port work and bigger carbs kinda thinking about yanking that engine haha Quote

Makes it easier to read. Don't jack up the RZ. Find some of the members here on HQ in your area and ask them to help you out. Maybe even send your engine to them to fix. PM FASTOYS here, he can rebuild your bike if you want to pay someone. There are a lot of builders out there who will do it for you, but its going to cost you... If you weren't so far away I'd offer to help you out, but shipping would be a pain... Quote
bansheejoel Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Posted January 21, 2008 yea, its a bitch none of my friends are really into banshee's. they are all into honda 250r's. thanks for your help though Quote
