Barrymaxx Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Could be piston slap, bad rod berings, wristpin, main beairings. Lots of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Pull the jugs and see what the topend looks like. If you dont and keep riding, then your problems will only get worse and the cost of the repairs will go up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 need to be a little more specific with the sound. can you hear it at idle or more so when revved up? is it a fast ticking, like everytime the pistons go up and down? hell ticking noises can come from anywhere. suspension, clutch, bearings, rings..hell damn near anything could possibly tick.

Barrymaxx Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Yea, pull the cylinders. If its piston slap, get it bored and new pistons now. If you continue to ride, your gonna be breaking skirts and doing more damage then you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Mine made a ticking sound until last week when I lightened one piston when I put a hole in it :: But from measuring the cylinders it was probably because they were out of round and it was piston slap since the cylinders were wore out. The good part is Redline is cleaning up the port work and fixing the nick in the base of the cylinder that caused me to blow the hole in the piston. Hope you get it figured out before it becomes a really expensive fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenCalBanshee Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I agree dont run the thing untill you pull the topend if its a engine noise. i made the newb mistake when i first got my banshee and kept running it. It cracked 1 piston around the wristpin and the other piston threw a skirt. but they were crap pistons in there anyways and the guy i bought it from did a patch job.
