Banshee In Need Of Help

[Madbanshee01]

Hey guys, wondering if you can please help me..

 

I was doing a cleaning inspection on my 2001 shee and i noticed that when i grap the rear brake rotor and jerk it forward and backwards it tends to move or have some slack. Is this normal ?

 

I also noticed that when i grap the front tires and jerk them in and out towards the frame they twitch just a little.

 

Other than that i am takeing her in for repairs because i know somthing is wrong with my engine. I was riding one day and i noticed a bog in my low end the top end was fine when the powerband kicked in. So i stopped to see wat it was and i noticed my coolant bottle was empty and as the bike was off i could here the radiator like boiling inside. I went out and bought some more coolant, i drained the old and put in the new and again it just sucked it all and boiling sound. What can this be. Just to add the bike was not hot at all, actually it was running cool.

 

Alright last thing guys, i appreciate your help.

I went the my local motorports and asked for transmission oil, so i can change the run the shee had and they recommended me Gear Saver 80w. What do you guys use and your opinions.

 

Thanks alot for your help and time.

You can tighten the axle nuts and that'll stop the play in the rear brake.

The coolant is boiling from a couple of factors. One could be from lean jetting if you have mods or it could be overheating from a malfunctioning water pump....make sure your not over filling the coolant either.....it should be full when warm and about 1/4 full when cold....For tranny oil, I just use 60w motor oil....never had a problem...

The brake rotor hub almost always moves a little where it attaches to the axle. If the disc moves on the hub then the bolts are loose. Re-tighten them. There's really no way totighten up the hub on the axle.

The loose front end is likely A arm pivot bushings or ball joints. More likely pivot bushings. Check out Holyman tech in "tips and tricks" it might give you a few more ideas.

Coolant will come out of the O flow tube for no reason so for the bottle to be empty is no surprise. If the coolant is spraying out, then you've overheated and boiled over. This can be caused by a melted or broken coolant impeller.

Alot of people use the gear saver oil. It's not my preference but it seems to be a quality oil so if you like it, that's all that matters.

I sell bearings to replace the bushings if that's where the looseness is. I give HQ members a break from the eBay prices.
