2strokeshees Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I say hold off on taking it to the stealership. Your going to pay out the A$$ to have it rebuilt. Buy yourself a clymers manual check it over and see about tackling it yourself. These motors are very very simple even for noobs. Take your time and browse through it and go for it. Great way to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Edg Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I brought it in today. I hope it aint to pricey I just wanted it done as soon possible. I don't really have time to mess with it I leave for Marine Corps boot camp in Aug. I just want to ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2strokeshees Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 What all are they doing, just a complete re-build, did you tell them what happened. I say theres an air leak somewhere and it got worse an worse as you were riding and finally she leaned out and went boom. Make sure they inspect the bottom end to and don't just put a new top end in it. There WILL be pieces in the bottom end from the piston.

Dane Edg Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I figured that they would go through all of it but I will call them to make sure the check the bottom end. How do they check for air leaks? Im geting new brakes on to the back was metal to metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Edg Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Alright thanks for the info. Il give them a call to make sure they go through it all, but at 70 bucks an hour gonna be a big bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Edg Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I have an update on the bike. Called the dealerships today they still haven't even looked at it. Im on the brink of going and geting it an doing it myself or buying another banshee so I don't have to wait on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 You in too big a rush to even listen to suggestions..... You admit you have a lot to learn....but at your pace all your going to learn is how to piss away cash quickly on stuff that will only depreciate. Plenty of members here could be and would be mentors for you in this hobby.....really help you make good choices with your cash for the long haul. But my 43 years have tought me it's easy to talk to a young guy with his mind made up.....it's just nearly impossible for him to hear me...... Good luck in a year or two when you find yourself doing CPR on your wallet. Either way, Thank You for choosing to serve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Edg Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Its what I have allways wanted to do. Id say your right no need to rush in and spend more money then I need to. After I get it rebuilt this time any thing that breaks i'm going to learn how fix it my self. That's what my step dad always told me the only way to learn is to do it your self.
