We were out on Presidents and took a small night ride with the kids. My on our way back, my daughter said she couldn't kick the bike over. I ran over, had some issues but kicked it over and revved it up. Daughter stalled it and it would not kick over again.
The kick starter would not move. By hand, you could slowly tap it down, down, down. Towed back to camp. Nothing has changed.
This is a 2002 Banshee. Stock top end. No mods except pipes, reed cages and 2in1 carb.
What am I looking at here? Did rings go out? Something seize? Just replace pistons or need to hone cylinders as well? Is this something you're not sure until the engine is apart?
I suppose it's time has come as there are a lot of hours on this bike. Ideas, places to take? Not sure if Allen Fox is still around.
