joey83 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 A guy has this banshee for sale but know very little other than it's supposed to have a 4mil crank. One cylinder has low compression. He's about 2 hours from me so I'm hoping the experts here can help me I.D. some parts. Mostly the crank. It's still in the motor but can anybody tell what it is? Just don't want a Taiwan crank. It has CPI's and an extended swinger and some chrome A-arms. Are these Mikuni carbs? Are they any good? Thoughts? Thanks-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandmanPNW Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 the experts here can help me I.D. some parts. Mostly the crank. The crank rods can be seen in the last pic you posted. They are sticking out of the big holes in the engine case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey83 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 The crank rods can be seen in the last pic you posted. They are sticking out of the big holes in the engine case. Well done.. Can you tell what the crank is by the pic? Don't the wang cranks have grey colored rods? I've read somewhere about the rod color can help tell what kind of crank. He originally told me $1500. He's been trying to sell it a while. He's realized he's not going to get that for it. I'm going to trade him a flat bottom boat and some cash. What do you think it's worth? And can somebody help with those carbs? Mikuni flat slides???? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about what I'll have in it. by the time he gets my little boat and a shotgun. What's up with those Portworks cylinders? Can't find anything about them. Stock cylinders?

Normally wang cranks are gold colored http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Yamaha-Banshee-350-RZ350-crank-crankshaft-4mm-stroker-115mm-long-rod-4-mil-/400306782781?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d3424c23d&vxp=mtr Probably either a hotrods or vitos crank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) Chrome aftermarket A arms, +something wider, +something forward. New price somewhere between $500 & $800 depending on brand Billet stator cover. New price $250 to $300 Chrome aftermarket pipes. You mentioned CPI. Those are worth a few bills right there. Billet thumb throttle cover, brake reservoir cover, and gas cap. Aftermarket front bumper. Tether kill switch. Looks like it might be a billet clutch basket. Hard to tell from the pic. Is that a chrome swinger? Round house? The guy definitely liked yellow. In addition to what others mentioned, that's about all that can be figured out from the pics. Usually when you see a billet stator cover, it's a good sign that somebody dumped a ton of money into it. I would split the cases and inspect everything.

joey83 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Wtf? The boost bottle is a deal breaker. lol You can tell somebody spent some money on the bike but its kind of an older build I think. We struck a deal on it so Im gonna go get it tomorrow after work. It does have a chrome +4 swinger. its very yellow... But I plan on rebuilding it this winter. might throw my motor in it and take it to the LS ride. Should be easy to spot!

ATVridinMaNiAc Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I would definitely buy it, even parting it out would bring over $1000 if thats what you will have into it, theres a few good signs that it would be a decent buy, even though it looks like big birds banshee.

It has lonestar +2 +1 arms extended swinger durablue axle lots of chrome billet and polished stuff. Planning on using.what I want and parting the rest. If I could get used to the color it would be way easier to just throw my motor in it and parting mine. I may end up just doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
