jeramie Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 just bought my first banshee about a week ago and i am wondering why there are two valve stems on the shifter side of my engine. i tried uploading pics but it said they were too big and wouldnt let me. is this normal? if so, what the hell are they for? thanks.

XxMeltIcexX Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Valve Stems???????? Need pics buddy... Sounds interesting Maybe it's some type of air shifter setup. Talk to the guy you bought it off of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYUK Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 it lets the condensate out of the stator cover, keeps the flywheel and stator from getting rusty. post pics. if it is what i am thinking of some guy on ebay used to sell the mod.

Larry's Shee Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 You fill it with helium , makes it 10 lbs. lighter. Actually I think the others might be right , cause I have NFC !! Your results may vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeban Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Maybe to blow out moisture thats all i got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your results may vary. no no no. 1 valve is for helium, poor mans flywheel lightener,the other replenishes the red paint on the chain.

georgie Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 here are the pics of the valve stems Previous owner wanted to do a leak down test on the stator side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan up Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Those are there to pressurize the boost bottle...1 for each cyl. Trinity Racing used to do that back in the day, when they still had a good name. Honestly, I'd throw some dice caps or something on them stems, you really don't that air to escape.

LS1Inferno Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 theres only one problem with just plugging them off, looks like somebody cut it apart so they could change the chain without pulling it, LAZY! so they are pointless because i PROMISE its not sealed worth a damn any how. Get a good cover, yamaha knew what they were doing (kinda), because its GOING to get wet inside with it like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
