Correct its not a banshee. Its a yamaha yz450f turbo snowbike.
Its part of a turbo kit that was made by KMS Performance specific for this application. The clutch was previously installed on the same exact bike I have, a 2010 yz450f.
I speculate if my fitment issue has anything to do with the aftermarket clutch basket, cant tell if thats the stock pressure plate though.....?
I ended up adding a metric fender washer between each spring and leg of the lockout body, washers are about 1/16'' so now I'm able to disengage the clutch all the way, but the clutch pull is noticeably harder. Any recommendations for lighter springs?
I havent had a chance yet to test out the clutch fix, but my question still remains- what is the spacing supposed to be between the lockout and pressure plate?
I'm sure there there is an optimal distance, which translates into the optimal angle of contact for the weighted fingers. My best guess would be to space the lockout just far enough so that the fingers center of weight to pivot point axis is perpendicular to the clutch axis. From my understanding of physics, that is the angle at which there would be the most gyroscopic effect (?) / leverage force applied to the fingers. As the angle increases, there would be less leverage force and greater pulling force on the weighted part of the fingers, and the distance from the pivot point (fulcrum) to the load (pressure plate) would also increase- decreasing the amount of force applied to the pressure plate. Correct?
Drew a diagram to better explain the angle
