lukedorris Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Last season my 2000 banshee just died on me during a ride. The thing would not fire for anything. I checked my compression and had nothing on the left cylinder. I take it in to my local shop to see about rings and possibly boring it, whatever it needs to get going again. They call me back later that week and tell me I have $900 worth of damage because my rod and piston separated within my cylinder and tore my sleeve to shreds. Is this a common problem in Banshees? I decided since i have to re-sleeve it, it only makes sense to go with a big bore kit. I ordered a 409 kit off of this shop that sells stuff on Ebay. I take my machine back to the shop with my kit and now they are telling me that the outside diameter of the sleeve is too big to fit into my cylinder. Is this right, or does the shop not know what they are doing? Can they bore my cylinder out to make the bigger sleeves fit? I dont see how the place I ordered my kit from could have sent another two-stroke, twin cylinder big bore kit. The banshee is the only one around. If the kit can be put in my quad, what else do I need to do to my banshee? Do I need to re-jet again? Will I eventually need bigger carbs? Most importantly, how fast am I going to go? I already have pipes, jets, reed valves, and a K&N filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman-hott Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 They probably dont know what they are doing. Jim from Passion was gonna sleeve mine with the same sleeves, only mine were from LA Sleeve. But I have a kid on the way so I'm trying to save as much as possible.
