TroyBrock Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I just bought a banshee and I'm going to replace all the fluids in it. I was wondering what oil I should use in the case? what oil and how much should I mix with 93? it's a stock 1987 banshee and what coolant should I use? I might also bleed the brake lines too so what's the best performing brake fluid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colby Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Case oil - 10w40 or Automatic Transmission Fluid mix ratio - 32:1 or 40:1 (if your using a quality synthetic, most people will say either Klotz Supertechniplate or Maxima 927) radiator - 75% distilled water, 25% antifreeze brake fluid - anything dot 3 or above 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I get everything at Walmart, except my pre mix. ATF type F Straight coolant mixed 60/40 Dot 3 brake fluid These are all the cheap Walmart brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshee Chad Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Klotz flex drive for gears, techniplate at 40:1 for gas, and whatever coolant at 50/50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blubyyou Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 My favorite is Klotz flex drive, and Klotz super techniplate @ 40:1. 50/50 green antifreeze. It is a little pricey and there are some more budget minded combos that will definitely work as well. Just my personal preference. I used to run 927...but the Klotz seems a little cleaner burning to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camatv Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 when i "tried" the atf route. on the dunes the shit would turn black in one day, the clutch would heat up and grab off the line, i was always adjusting the clutch freeplay also. went to 4.99 a quart 4t NONE of those issues have come back. and the bike shifts better. i barely have to adjust the free play when i'm dragging. and the clutch heat is much less. it dosn't matter where you live its just what i run now from experience. if you want to run atf so be it. i wont. that up there is why. no argument from me klotz flexdrive and klotx super tech IS a bad ass combo. i ran 927 in my pv cheeta and after a few weekends i had to start pulling my pv's out because they would stick i switched to klotz havnet had to touch them at all. it is deff a lot cleaner burning oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Chad Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Not that ATF doesn't work. Sure it's cheaper to buy a quart, but how often do u change it? Ill bet i spend less a year on my half a quart of flexdrive than those changing atf everyother ride. I change my flex drive once a year. And I ride from 115 degree summer to 15 degree winter.

camatv Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 the castrol 4T i run usually lasts 4 dune trips. most times i change it just cause. i mean its 12 bucks? i dumped atf at the dunes on a saturday night because it had completely broken down.

10milmike Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I switch it after each trip. Never have problems I buy it by the case 42 bucks. The case last a whole season for me. And I am hard on my clutch and tranny. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
