Larry's Shee Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Translation? : Does this mean I have a long rod crank? Or possibly a stroker? I haven't given much info to guess at. Compare old piston to new. Is the pin hole in same location? Do you have a cool head with stroker domes? Or did you have a head gasket about 2mm thick? Did the old piston stick out similar height?

Larry's Shee Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 BTW, welcome to BHQ. It's crankshaft, connecting rod, piston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwriter Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 What numbers are stamped into the top of the old piston? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUILDER Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 So wait let me get this right. If I am reading this right you bought one O.E. piston for your banshee and only are repalceing one??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldskool Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Do like starwriter said and give us numbers on top of pistons(old/new) I'm assuming you are new too banshee. Lot to learn, but this is the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee8zero2 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yeah I'm new not to two stroke engines but banshee s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldskool Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Well, having experience with 2 strokes is gonna help. Although banshee's are 2 stroke and they are a quad, they are a stand alone bike like no other. Actually its like two engines working as one. I think a dual carb set up works better. Just look around here and read,read,read! They can be extremely frustrating and also very rewarding, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider11 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Does that mean I have a 4 or 7 mm Stroker? maybe. Maybe not. We need the old numbers off the old piston. Are you sure you got the correct bore size as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
