crustydemon Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Are there any signs to pre crank bearing failure? Do they make a noise or anything? I have never had one go bad on me but my engine seems to be making a strange sound. I'm going to try to take a vid of it tomorrow and see if the sound comes through.

Debo Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 What side is the noise coming from? Check your flywheel and make sure its not coming apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustydemon Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I cant tell where its coming from and this is at idle, its not the flywheel because I did replace it. Its just a fucking bad sound. The only other thing that is very noticeable is that when I am riding and let off to coast It sounds like the tranny is making a hell of a lot of noise too weather the clutch is pulled or not.

Does the noise stop when the clutch is pulled in. I only ask cause i have a nasty sound and the same thing happens when i'm coming to a stop or when idling real low. But as soon as i pull the clutch in just a little it goes away. I've been to involved with my other banshee to have time to fix it. At first i thought it was my crank bearing but a guy told me it was the tranny bearing behind the clutch basket. If you figure it out please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crustydemon Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Kicker idler gear bushing going out? Thats a good possibility. I tried to make a video but the sound just didnt come through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 the only reason i knew my crank bearing went out is it trashed the top end when it did it tear it down and have a look inside everywhere. it will be cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 [quote name='Coupelx' timestamp='1307938439' post='1244943' tear it down and have a look inside everywhere. it will be CHEAPER. hell yes it will......even if you just try and look for something wrong it will save you money. i mean if that idle gear jams cause of a bushing it's gonna lock your motor HARD along with leaving you on the side of the trail because the kicker and the motor are goign to be engaged at the same time......meaning your aint starting your bike til you fix it. i mean if it locks up your gonna need to tear it down anyways to repair it......but it's gonna take out AT LEAST the idler kicker gear.....AND the bushign will need to be replaced....or you can just check out the bushing and it'll save the gear (if that's what turns out to be wrong) and it will cost you a whole whopping $15.95 from FAST (farmandsandtoys.com)......and that's for a steal bushing...not stock bronze. plus there's no hassle of being broke......or the hassle of lookin over your stuff for more crap that the gear wiped out...haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
