lockout clutch 101

[JasonsBanshee]

I'm kinda lost when it comes to a lock out clutch. My buddy just got a Banshee and we believe it has a lock out clutch on it because of the side case. I realize they are for high hp motors. Is it possible to have the side case and not a lockout clutch? Correct me if I'm wrong but a lockout clutch is NOT actually the clutch itself. Someone school me here.....

guess you could have the cover without the lockup but would be kind of pointless.but the lockup goes on the outside if the pressure plate or is part of the pressure plate depending on which style you get.faster the motor spins the more pressure it aplies to the clutch

that pic you have just the cover no lockup mechanism.

Ok, that's what was throwing me off. It looks just like what I've always seen inside the case. Does anyone have a picture of one with the lockout on it?

So I think I get it. This is the lockout and the faster it spins the more centrifugal force will create more pressure?

Yep...your buddies bike has it on there for looks AND the ability to remove and replace the clutch without having to take the whole side cover off.

yep. if i had a stock banshee id prolly still run the cover just to make it that much easier gettin the clutch out. tip the bike up a little and pull it.

I run the cover and no lockup just for this reason. Tip the bike up, pull out the allen head bolts and replace the clutch. Dont even have to drain the fluid. I carry a spare clutch with me and with the cover changing is a breeze.
