Hey all, I just purchased a bone stock 06' banshee that has a couple minor mod's (fmf pipes, boost bottle). Before purchasing the bike I drilled the previous owner of questions a bout the bike's mechanical history with there being NONE that he was aware of (young kid had it). Being that this bike is 5 yrs old now and not knowing of its previous mechinical history, it is in need of a clutch I do believe. Besides I would feel more comfortable installing a new one with me being the new owner that way I know when it was done and whats in it.
When the bike is first started in neutral and shifted into first it takes off just a tad. After riding it for a few minutes, if you were wanting to come to a stop and sit for a min. it will not shift into neutral to save its life. Also if you were to go WOT and short shift real fast through the gears it won't grab unless letting off the throttle. Mind all of you I am a natural gas eng. & comp. mech. for a living so I very mechanically inclined and have had sport quads in the past, but very unfamiliar with the banshee motor at this time.
After doing a small amount of research (without going to go buy a manual yet) Toomey racing has the best explanation on clutch installation. Leading to my second question now, what kind of clutch are ya'll runnning with these simialr mods? Or who do you know thats running a slightly better than OEM clutch? I've read good thinds about Tusk and I am leaning that way at the moment unless strayed in a diff. direction. I have seen a alot of company's that offer clutch replacement kits such as: Tusk, Toomey, EBC, VIto's, Wiseco, Barnett.
Gentlemen, I would appreciate the advice and expertise on this matter and look forward to hearing everyone's response's.
