  2. Clutch or bearing Problem?

    in Banshee Repairs and Mods

    Posted

    Hey Folks,

     

    Recently I tore my banshee all down and split the cases to attempt to find the issue I've been having. So far I'm stumped so I thought I;d ask for help.

     

    Before tearing it down I would get "grinding" when releasing the clutch all the way. It felt like the pressure plate was rubbing the cases. I went through the clutch(all new), readjusting and re intalling, only to still find I had the grinding vibration when the clutch was released. So I decided to tear it apart futher, I figured a bearing must be gone somewhere. They all look fine.... Anyone else have this issue in the past?

     

    I notice that both transmission gears can be pushed and pulled a few mm back and forth while sitting in the cases, but thought this play might be normal.

     

    Thanks for any help

    Looks cool for sure, but as soon as you drop either a snomo or streetbike motor into a quad it is no longer valid for the original discussion. Those half breed bikes don't get much respect from me. Unless they're really well put together, I dont know how anyone can get excited.

    It wouldn't hurt to run a tank of 24:1 - 32:1 through it first before switching to 40:1.. Its good to break them in with a richer oil mixture in my opinion.. but even so, I dont think thats what caused this.. It does look like a lack of fuel and or air leak, but it sounds like you went through all the right steps.. Fuck there's nothing worse than not knowing for sure what the hell caused the failure.. Hope it can be figured out.

    Whoa.. Sickening!

     

    Is it a Boss intake your using? Alot of people have found them to have airleaks.. I took the rubber pieces off and put some sealant on them, then tightened them back on.. Never had a problem.. Your doesn't sound like it could be off nearly enough to cause that..

     

    And not to be a smartass, but your certain that the piston rings were seated correctly in the ring groove? I see in those pics that they aren't, but its easy to have em slide out of place while holding them..

    Hey, the d-10 hoosier racing tires are great for clay surfaces that are wet. If its a real dry night and you have a 75 hp banshee you dont have anything left to those tires by the feature. The dryer it is the higher number youd want d12 d15 ect. The higher the number the stiffer the tire. D10 is the softest. Alot of the guys are running anti sway or antiroll bars. Durable makes them lonestar ect. Uhmm.. 18in fronts and 20in rear or else your arms will be dead if you run anything bigger in the front. I think stock front shocks would be alright if your on a budget just put a couple extra turns in that front right unless your using a sway bar. Rear should be fine.

     

    I think I'll be getting a sway bar for sure.. Do you want the front tires to be 2" smaller than the rears? I'm seeing alot of 18 fronts 18 rears for sale.. I understand I may have to go up a tooth on the front gear to keep the same ratio.
