Man thank you for all your videos!!! I bought my first banshee about a week ago not running you saved my life!!!! First had fuel screaming out overflow then severe flooding came with 6 carbs and you showed me solution from some carbs from a loft 😂 sync get it started finally and pouring out antifreeze from kick start side cylinder now I'm tuning in to this video 😂😂 owned many 2 strokes loved buying the ones that came in pieces in milk crates lol nothing like bringing back the dead! First ever duel cylinder 2 stroke and I'm gonna whoop it's ass thanks to you!! Thanks brother!!!
South Texas Banshee man I would love to pick your brain for about 10 minutes LOL I bought the carb Eliminator kit and a brand new flat slide 38mm carb and I'm also a 370cc big bore kit with cool heads new 4 v force reeds and the carb tuning has me a little scared
Thank God I found your videos. Nicely done very informative. I've been looking for good vids for about a month and these people that post shit on RUclips drive me crazy. I have a banshee transmission torn down from my father in October and he passed away in December. So I've been messing with this thing since January. Thanks to you guys I will be rolling in no time. My friends are gonna want to hire me to work on their shit now because they all said I wasn't going to be able to put it back together. Thank you guys. Again we'll done.
Little late, but great video (s) man. I can't tell you how many times I've done this. Good job talking people through this, easy to understand and follow along!
Buddy I put new cylinders on my banshee and forgot to put the rubber cylinder seals, do i have to take cylinders out and put the seals on them or can it run like that? I did 2 heat cycles and did not see any issues, however i just noticed that and I'm freaking out.
Thank you!! My huge question was how on earth do (you) tighten those cylinder nuts? You answered it right at the end. Again, Thank you for all the video's!!
I have a banshee that someone rode wide open until it shut down. One of the domes is a mess, I'm wondering how far into the engine I need to go replacing parts?
Ok no problem I would like to restore my blue banshee just like your yellow I new to this and just learning can you tell me what top and bottom end should I start with or Pistons
No catch tank, but you have to plug the overflow nozzle. You can just take the hose off. It will puke all the coolant out and overheat. I run the stock cap or what cap comes with the ASI rad.
Hey Kevin, I just got a banshee for the first time and it had a blown motor. So I got new factory oem 64mm cylinders & vertex pistions. After install my compression us 90-100 psi both sides on 2 different gauges. I have re-run and still have low compression. I did get it started and ran 3 heat cycles no gain. Now I tired if kicking it before it starts. What can I do next ?
Hey South Texas ; Thanks for sharing the 2 smoke Magic with us. I was wondering about the machinework done on those pistons. Specifically on the exhaust side of the domes and the holes drilled above the wrist pin holes. If you could make a Vid about that and if anyone sells Pistons with the mods already done or if we would have to ship the Engine to a machine shop to get the Pistons done to work in harmony with the other mods.
Hi folks! I just broke my shee's engine, I'll need to replace the top end, both cilinders, pistons and the cooling head. Wich brand would you recommend I buy the ticket.? I saw a NICHE factory, is it good? Thanks!
my 95 banshee will not stop leaking antifreeze between the head and cylinder. I have done everything. I bought new cylinders, new gaskets, vitos studs, new pistons, and it still leaks. im sick and tired of it. can you please help me out? please
Did you inspect the head?? Sounds like there isn't a good seal between the head and the cylinder and since you bought new cylinders it more than likely is your head. I'm not an expert but I think that is a good place to start looking. Also make sure when you tighten your head down that you do so in an even pattern so that you dont torque the head uneven..
I have a new hotrod c.k 158 and Vito head with a proDesign cool head and I tryed to start my bike and motor would not move so I took head off and the piston ring is getting stuck on the top of the cylinder what do I do pleas
I'm about to do a rebuild on my banshee, and it's going to need new cylinders and pistons, what kit are you using and what do u recommend? there's so many out there I don't know which is the best for the money, thanks
Use wiseco, Pro-X or oem and you can't go wrong. those are listed from best to least best with very little difference, P-ro-x are basically OEM quality. as far as machine work, I recommend Nate At KaN Power sports. he does all mins and have never been happier.
hi my name is martin i was wondering where did you buy those nuts for that persons pro design cool head i cant find them on ebay.i am just going with the pro design cool head because it will be easier with your great video thanks martin god bless
Margaret Wiand they're stainless nuts you can get them on eBay, type in "Yamaha Banshee stainless bolt kit" OR Allyboltz.com you can buy individual kits
chris laponte yea I do man, I've got one set been painted 3 years no major peeing yet, looks fine. just don't use ALOT of paint. that will cause it to chip alot easier.
i am sadAF Hey how are ya, compression test will tell how your top end is wearing. After a rebuild, check compression right away, write it down. Then after break in write it down. Then keep a log every 6 months do a health checkup on it. Compression test and write the findings. When you notice the numbers falling faster and faster between tests you'll know the top end is beginning to wear. But to answer your question a topend with good machine work, tuned and treated well will last many many years. I know of 87 banshees still running great on stock top ends. There is absolutely no reason to be doing top ends every season or every couple of years.
box kits are kinda iffy. Cylinders need to be bored to the pistons. Forged pistons expand when they heat which is why you should never rev a cold bike hard. cast pistons do not. That being said a bore set up for cast pistons would be a tighter tolerance being as they don't expand. if you bought juggs bored for say....65.50 cast and used 65.50 forged, the pistons would heat swell an tolerance would be to tight. so if you buy a set of cylinders thay comes with pistons you have to wander, did they just punch them to 64.50 and grab some 64.50 shelf pistons and chunk ut all in the box or were they actually mic'd and each cylinder set up for each piston??? I use Kan Powersports , owned Nate and Kimmer Harames of Utah. his work is always flawless, and he does whay needs to be done, takes no chances and take care of you.
Wiseco 66mm pistons with 66mm rings. I can get the rings in the cylinder all matched up but not after I install them into the piston. I think i'm just going to bring it to a local mechanic as this isn't something I want to make a mistake with...
Slank Tapper really all you would have to do is measure the ring gap if it's to big file down untill it is in spec. I just installed rings they were in spec I didn't have to do anything. measure using a feeler gauge.

New to your channel just got a banshee and you are so much help I don't know what I would have done to my top end without your vids.

Thank you so much Kevin, I have learned so much valuable information from you I could write a book, been watching you since your first RUclips video.
What kind of pistons are you using. Exhaust side of pistons are cut down.
@@vincepeltier1463 Vito’s SS pistons, they mimic raised exhaust ports.
@kevingalindo1 thanks for the info. Used vitus pistons before worked good.
Buddy I put new cylinders on my banshee and forgot to put the rubber cylinder seals, do i have to take cylinders out and put the seals on them or can it run like that? I did 2 heat cycles and did not see any issues, however i just noticed that and I'm freaking out.
I am installing a cub kit and I
Noticed they want you to drill
Lubarcating holes in the exhaust side of the Pistons
Should this be done ?
Thank you!! My huge question was how on earth do (you) tighten those cylinder nuts?
You answered it right at the end. Again, Thank you for all the video's!!
I have a banshee that someone rode wide open until it shut down. One of the domes is a mess, I'm wondering how far into the engine I need to go replacing parts?
What top end is this
What oil do you recommend klotz supertechniplate or 927 also should I stick with steel sleeves or nickelplate
How come you didnt use the washer that come with it ??? ..Very important..
My doms bore are 68mm and my pistons bore is 66mm that can cause problem in my comprension?
Ok no problem I would like to restore my blue banshee just like your yellow I new to this and just learning can you tell me what top and bottom end should I start with or Pistons
Unrelated. Do you run the coolant catch tank and what pressure radiator cap do you run?
No catch tank, but you have to plug the overflow nozzle. You can just take the hose off. It will puke all the coolant out and overheat. I run the stock cap or what cap comes with the ASI rad.
@@kevingalindo1 ok thanks. So you are saying just plug the nozzle on the radiator by the cap or crimp the hose if catch tank isn’t installed?
what pistons are these? look better than wiseco.
What rebuilt kit are you using
Hey Kevin, I just got a banshee for the first time and it had a blown motor. So I got new factory oem 64mm cylinders & vertex pistions. After install my compression us 90-100 psi both sides on 2 different gauges. I have re-run and still have low compression. I did get it started and ran 3 heat cycles no gain. Now I tired if kicking it before it starts. What can I do next ?
How do you know which piston ring goes on the bottom or the top?
They are the same I’m pretty sure just have two on each piston
Hey South Texas ; Thanks for sharing the 2 smoke Magic with us. I was wondering about the machinework done on those pistons.

Vito's pistons? How does the style hold up
Should I trust pistons that are 40 dollars for both
Hello, is there a top end rebuild kit you can recommend?
Do you have to have the pistons go up and down at opposite times?
thanks for yours video keep on ! just rebuilt mine with the help you give ☝👍👍👍
Sure will, thank you
Are those pistons the Vito’s SuperStocks? What do you think of them Kevin? Thinking of getting some for my rebuild.
Is it ok to bore my stock cylinders or just buy new ones already bored to my liking?
what kit is that one ...have link to it ..thx
my 95 banshee will not stop leaking antifreeze between the head and cylinder. I have done everything. I bought new cylinders, new gaskets, vitos studs, new pistons, and it still leaks. im sick and tired of it. can you please help me out? please

Derrick Tassey ck 158 is a 4 mil long rod. U need stroker domes and hopefully ur cylinders are ported for the 4 mil stroke
Derrick Tassey nevermind I'm sorry I read your comment wrong, sounds like you have the wrong pistons in. U need blaster style pistons
what do you think about to china cylinders??
I'm about to do a rebuild on my banshee, and it's going to need new cylinders and pistons, what kit are you using and what do u recommend? there's so many out there I don't know which is the best for the money, thanks

Should i buy parts off of Walmart
what brand are the pistons?
hi my name is martin i was wondering where did you buy those nuts for that persons pro design cool head i cant find them on ebay.i am just going with the pro design cool head because it will be easier with your great video thanks martin god bless
Margaret Wiand
they're stainless nuts you can get them on eBay, type in "Yamaha Banshee stainless bolt kit" OR
Allyboltz.com you can buy individual kits
What's up Kevin, do you ever paint your cylinders with the high temp spray paint? If so how do they look over time.
chris laponte
yea I do man, I've got one set been painted 3 years no major peeing yet, looks fine. just don't use ALOT of paint. that will cause it to chip alot easier.
man i really hope ur shop is okay with all the flooding down there...
Quick question boss what type of lube do you have in the bottle
J Williams
its castor 927
How do you recommend doing the cylinder install with cheetah cub cylinders since you have to do both pistons at the same time.
Know this is an older vid but how often do you replace these with good maintment
i am sadAF
Hey how are ya, compression test will tell how your top end is wearing. After a rebuild, check compression right away, write it down. Then after break in write it down.

South Texas Banshee wow thanks i'll be checking mine, notice a few things i dont like about it suspect it might be that thanks much
Ok this is probably a dumb question but if I buy a cylinder kit/rebuild kit is it not ready to install right out of the box?
box kits are kinda iffy. Cylinders need to be bored to the pistons. Forged pistons expand when they heat which is why you should never rev a cold bike hard. cast pistons do not. That being said a bore set up for cast pistons would be a tighter tolerance being as they don't expand. if you bought juggs bored for say....65.50 cast and used 65.50 forged, the pistons would heat swell an tolerance would be to tight. so if you buy a set of cylinders thay comes with pistons you have to wander, did they just punch them to 64.50 and grab some 64.50 shelf pistons and chunk ut all in the box or were they actually mic'd and each cylinder set up for each piston???

sorry, coukd you type that again? I don't understand.
How can I contact you? I'm having problems the guys down here are trying to rip me off. I have so many questions.

361-243-0431 text me up
you are the best kevin :)
How long do you think it would take me to replace my crank, and my top end?
McNut
depends on your skill level man. I swapped a crank on one and had it running in 4hrs flat. Out and back in the frame included.
don't you have to gap the rings?
My machinest checks all that for me, I double check, but forgot to mention ring gap.
Well that would explain why your cylinders went on like a hot knife through butter and mine just got me to swear in my garage for an hour
Slank Tapper
lol,.unless they were super tight, they should have been that bad, what were the specs?
Wiseco 66mm pistons with 66mm rings. I can get the rings in the cylinder all matched up but not after I install them into the piston.
I think i'm just going to bring it to a local mechanic as this isn't something I want to make a mistake with...
Slank Tapper really all you would have to do is measure the ring gap if it's to big file down untill it is in spec. I just installed rings they were in spec I didn't have to do anything. measure using a feeler gauge.
Right on man thanks.
Castlor 927-this is the way…
