korndawg Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Since you've got it tore down that far, I'd consider tearing down the rest of the way, and cleaning it up right. You might consider throwing a coat of paint on it while you're at it, or have it powdercoated if you've got the $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreak Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 (edited) get some engine de greaser for the engine and some of that tire shine stuff that foams up it will clean the wires up good... and no water will not hurt it... thats why i wash mine after i ride it... but dont get water inside the motor i noticed your intakes are open...

banshee tuner Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Simple green, or 409 will work fine just spray on and wipe off if you dont want to use water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got done going all back together on my bike and I was shocked at how easy and how little time it really took. RIPPEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed350x Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I like to sandblast my entire bike every time I ride it. Gets those pesky black plastic sidecases right off. I know those are a tricky item on banshee. Let me tell you... sandblasting will take it all right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toybreaker Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 not trying to hi jack this thread but would there be interest in some O-ringed plugs for the exhaust and intake ports to seal them while storing or washing you engines? I could make em out of delrin or teflon pretty cheaply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
