Beachcruiser Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I have a 2002 Shee that I bought back in October 2008 from a girl that said the motor is 100% and that the banshee has NEVER had a rebuild since brand new. Checked the compression before I bought it and they both read about 140 or so. I had a few tuning problems with it but I eventually got it worked out and ran great. I'm unsure how many hours I've put on it since I bought it but Im pretty sure it is close to 75-90 hours. We usually ride every weekend for about 5 hours, the majority of that time I have the throttle pinned. I've checked the compression here recently and it is about 100 each side. I realize that im probably wayyy over due for a top end job but I keep putting it off because it is still fast enough to out run 450s. Since it hasn't ever been rebuilt, is there anything I should be aware of before I start dissassembling it? Sorry for the book guys but I do have a few questions. This will be my first time rebuilding a top end on a two stroke, is there tips and tricks that I should know before I tear into it? I've helped friends rebuild other two strokes but nothing with twin cylinders and it hasn't ever been from start to finish. I am also fairly mechanically inclinded. Since I'm going to be tearing it to it, I've decide to ship it off to get the bore/hone and most likely dune port job. Figured I might as well spend the extra money to get some more power. Thanks for the help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNTS355 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Buy a Clymers manual and Nitonate's rebuild video. Both of these items will help alot. Take lots of pic's on the tear down and they will refresh your memory on the build back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
