cdcoxwell Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 While I have the bottom cracked open are there any suggestions I should do while I've got her heart open. Other than going ahead and replacing both seals and gaskets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdcoxwell Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 How do you move a thread. This topic should have been in banshee repairs and mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallrat Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Only mods can move a thread. Nobody ever listens to me on this but drill a 3/8" hole just towards the rear of where the current oil return hole is on the clutch side. If you notice the current hole goes right into the drain plug and seriously limits flow. In addition to that...new billet impeller, new clutch/springs, etc etc...

Hilarious Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) Drop a new stroker crank in there. That's what I plan on doing. Edited March 7, 2006 by Hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee tuner Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 If you don't put in a stroker at least have your crank trued and welded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdcoxwell Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 wallrat, when you say better flow are we talking about coolant or crank oil flowing better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregbowler Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 make sure you use plenty of lube on the seal.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we sell a shorter magnetic drain plug that works real good too! True and weld crank for sure and maybe a shift shaft mod and easy spring for butter like shifts.

Dark Ranger Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Not mentioned-Shift star mod, TZ bearing on power side of crank. 483811[/snapback] Could you enlighten me as to what a TZ bearing is? I don't think I have ever heard of that before. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNBRAD Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 TZ bearing is a roller bearing for the outer right side of crank. Gets it's name from the old TZ350 bikes which had a beefier crank in terms of bearings. The TZ bearing is a 10 ball bearing v/s the standard 8 ball on the banshee. This gives it more contact area which increases side and vertical load capabilities and extends it's operating life. Most generally this will be the first bearing to grenade and a weak point of banshee cranks. This is especailly a must on heavily modded shee's as the stress to that bearing is increased. It's really cjheap insurance and takes little time to replace with the cases split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Shift Star Mod fo shizzle. You could also mod your sidecase so you can adjust your clutch without taking the cover off. I did that. Not hard to do at all and saves you some gaskets & trouble if you only need to adjust your clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes time to tear mine apart I will be using the TZ bearing. More balls is always better, that's why I own a Banshee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterThanU90 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Is the TZ bearing the same as a Pancake Bearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
