BrockMoto Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I have aquired a Banshee from a friend... It has some pretty serious motor issues so I will be sending it somewhere.. My question is since the bike sat for around 3 years... What else should need replacing? I assume the chain goes bad sitting... Ps all fluids in the motor will be replaced during the build and the carbs cleaned... Thanks for any input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECshee Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 you sure its all motor issues? check your stator, coil, carbs, and any moving parts. cables will need replacing im sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicklez Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Def pull the carbs apart. The old fuel gotta get cleaned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06specialedition Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Sounds like it needs some work. Let the complete tear down begin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 the chain wont go bad.....replace all the fluids....INCLUDING THE FUEL. clean those carbs good. then check the entire bike over......last thing you want to do is fire it up and take a hard run on it and realize your buddy pulled the brake pads off to change em 3 years ago. Just use common sense about looking at your bike and reassembling your motor. ALSO make sure you do a leak down test BEFORE you fire the motor up. i usually do them after i finish the assembly while its still out of the frame.

AKheathen Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 also, check any electrical contacts, like killswitch, connectors, etc..... they can corrode over time. bearings and brakes, and not much else that hasn't been mentioned..
