BlksnshN Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Hello Banshee HQ, I just picked up my first Banshee (and my first two stroke) last night. I've owned quads most of my life since the age of 4 and have always wanted a Banshee but ended up with something else. This one appears to have been really well taken care of and the previous owner provided me with all the receipts for the parts and labor for the mods done to the bike. BRAND NEW piston/ringsBillet water pump impellerNewer Toomey clutch platesBillet parking block off kitHot Rod 4mm long rod stroker crank+4 adjustable timing plateshaved stock head to accept the stroker crankHinson billet clutch basketK&N pod air filtersOuterwears to cover K&N filtersChrome CPI inframe drag pipesjetted accordingly (extra jets included)billet exhaust hangers/chrome boltsblack powdercoated frame/a-arms/swingarmALL bearings replaced at the time of powdercoatingnewer front sprocketV-Force 3 reeds/reed cagesYAMAHA black shock covers Only problem I've found with it is that I have to hold the choke out, it won't stay on it's own. Any known fix for that? Also, Does anyone know what CC the bike is now with the 4 mil crank and a .30 over bore? Can't wait to get this thing out and do some riding.

hoppedupandcutdown Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 yeah just put one in mine, about 10 rides later it backed out. I hope that I noticed it soon enough and didn't lean out and damage anything. One of those things you don't want to tighten and strip the brass or the carb, but sure don't want it falling out either.

Yeah, that would cause some major issues, Maybe a touch of blue locktite would be a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 On the other hand, I ran one that wouldn't stay out for years, only had to hold it until it started. It would idle without choke after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlksnshN Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) Any recommendations for crankcase oil? I've got some 20 - 50 Honda four stroke oil on the shelf that I bought for my old 400. Would that be okay?

BlksnshN Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 It has to be a wet clutch 10-30 if it is motor oil, correct? Basically just need something I can pick up at autozone, It's a long way to any of the bike shops from here and they are closed on Sundays, basically they are closed any time I'm not at work.

sheerider11 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Walmart super tech type F. Pick up 10 quarts for $1.50 a piece. You can change it every ride if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdod101 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I just use 10 w 30 castrol motor oil, I change it every 3 rides or so. Seems to work just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlksnshN Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I picked up some Valvoline 10 - 40 ATV oil. I used to run it in my Raptor without issue. I'll probably grab something different when I get a chance to get to a cycle shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
