neongreenshee Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 i have a 89 with pods, silencers, removed t.o.r.s, and it smokes white if i put my hand up to the tip i get oil on it and the is no packing in the silencer, and im only pushing 105 psi, need help Quote
mopar1rules Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 did you give it a complete compression check on a good reliable tester? if you did, yes 105 is low. you would need to re-ring at minimum, if the cylinder walls look ok. maybe have to replace pistons to, if the skirts are worn beyond the acceptable limit. if cylinder walls have scoring going on, which the scratches are deep enough to catch your fingernail, then you will need to overbore.

blanco25 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 yeah make sure the tester is good. I just did the compression on my bike friday and one said 185 and the other 105. dude my heart dropped. then we pulled out another tester and they both were at 185 Quote

mopar1rules Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Depends on what elevation your at. that to, but i doubt he's 10,000 feet above sea level Quote
dajogejr Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 that to, but i doubt he's 10,000 feet above sea level Bone stock he could be 2000 to 3000 feet and have the top end a little worn but still usable at 105PSI... The two questions that need answering are... Is it a quality tester or a 10 dollar auto parts store bargain bin special...and as said, your elevation. Quote

Leadfoot350 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 repack those silencers too. less noise and it goes faster too. Quote
NitroTate Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 My wife's banshee runs like a champ at 90psi and I'm at 5280 ft. and ride at about 8900 ft. just fine. I'm still going to rebuild this winter but for this summer it's been running really strong! Quote
