spoin39 Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 No one mentioned the clutch! That is the most used part of a 2-stroke to get the most out of it. You need to slip the clutch alot when starting a race, going thruogh technical sections wether it be a drag race, motocross, or woods riding. It keeps you on the "pipe" and keeps wheelspin to a minimum. I always have a finger on the clutch and "feather" it to keep it on the pipe almost at all times. Maintenance is the key to making them last, Changing tranny oil every 15-20 hrs, keeping the airfilter clean and oiled, checking all the bolts every now and then, and also float level, this does get off with time so check it regularly. And most of all, keep kicking the 4-strokes a$$! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Your 4 stroke buddies will scoff and laugh everytime you're rebuilding your top end...until their 4 stokes finally take a crap and they spend the next 3 weeks pulling out their hair on the rebuild. My buddy that's got a warrior JUST went through that!! Top end rebuild took him a month to get ALL the parts and have it back together...and he's still tuning the damn thing. 2-stroke ALL THE WAY!!

pimp559 Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 I have a friend that has a 1992 banshee he bought new. It still has never been rebuilt and it runs exelent. It is stock and he just does the normal maintence of cleaning the filter and changing the oil. He goes riding quite a bit and shee has never let him down.

trail rider Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 But if you feather/slip the clutch alot of the time, doesn't that wear out the clutch plates and stuff? Also, does changing the tranny oil more often help reduce wear on the clutch and other internal parts? Does a topend rebuild on a 2 stroke just consist of taking off the cylinder head and changing the gaskets? get er dun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Does a topend rebuild on a 2 stroke just consist of taking off the cylinder head and changing the gaskets? Last top end job I did it consisted of taking the cylinders off, boring them, replacing the pistons, gaskets, and cleaning up everything in between...It may sound like a lot but really isn't at all. Cost was roughly $200 for everything...the beauty of 2 strokes is you don't have to worry about cams, timing chains, valves or any of that stuff. REALLY simple to do...and for your question about the clutch, yes it will, but how fast it wears depends on how much you let it slip.

brugal Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 The wrong way to ride a two stroke is to ride it like a four stroke... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wassup350 Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Whats wrong about riding a 4 stroke If your riding one, get out the way, your going too slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoin39 Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 You should only ride a 4-stroke if there isn't a 2-stroke to ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 The wrong way to ride a two stroke is to ride it like a four stroke... ha thats a good one. i like what pointdexter was saying about 'keeping it on the pipe'. I like to keep the power a hair below the start of the big powerband hit.... and all you have to do is twist the throttle a c-hair and your hittin' the pipes, hold on tight. That calm before the storm is where I like the powerband, just blip the throttle and things get crazy. hows' this..... your riding in 3rd gear, just below the powerband hit, your doing about 30mph and your just cruzin' down the trail... all of sudden a big puddle appears just roll on the throttle and skim right over the puddle, front tires never get wet. Thats how I ride em. I dont know how to ride a 4 stroke I owned a quadsport along time ago, over 10 years ago, thats the only 4 stroke iv owned.

spoin39 Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Exacly MEAT! That is where I like to be, on the tip of the power band, a little clutch or throttle and BAM! your gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boring out the cylinder......is that something you have to do on every top end job and is it something you can do yourself or should you take it to a professional? What exactly do you do when you bore out the cylinder and is it expensive? git er dun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoin39 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 You only have to bore it if the walls are scored, scratched. Just honing it out is usually all that is required. Boring the cylinders is usually about $30-45 a piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trail rider Posted March 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 What tools do you need to bore out the cylinders? Or where could/should you take it to bore out the cylinders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
