badbanshee01 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hi, After riding the banshee pretty hard last night I came to a stop and put my ear down by the water pump area, by the kickstarter kinda. I heard this rattling sound, like a loose bearing or something. Sounded exactly like the rattling kickstarter, but that isn't the problem. I'm afraid it may be the water pump and it has been losing a tad bit more coolant than normal during operation from the overflow. I was wondering what you guys think it is and how big of a job it is. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sounds like its time to open the side cover and find out. Noises and lack of cooling are very good reasons to take a look.

Animalman294 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 If you put your ear back by the kick starter it could be something different because the impeller is in front of the clutch pack not behind it like the kicker. Like Brandon said, you need to start wrenchin' and figure out what has come loose............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
