clutch creeping

[wesw]

went for a ride today.

 

with the clutch pulled and if you rev the bike up it wants to start to roll or creep forward.

 

what causes this.

 

 

setup: 8 disk clutch system, lockup, 3 stock springs and 3 of those brutal springs people sell. atf f fluid

 

 

arrows line up,

instead of using atf try to just use a good brand of 10w 30 engine oil.

is this a joke??? or you being serious?

[Paddleboy]

i dunno? i thought i heard of that working before?

[wesw]

sorry i asked a question. there is some stuff a person doesnt know. unlike you tyler i guess

 

 

 

and fuck 10w30 makes it shift worse.

 

 

 

so yes what causes this. i got a feeling my pressure plate isnt releasing all the way.

any other thoughts.

haha not you bro..

 

wes has been around for a long time. hes not new to the banshee by any means.. seems weird he would be asking about this to me,

 

when my bike does that its always just an adjustment issue..

yo dickhead, i wasnt being an asshole about it. i thought it was a strange question for someone like you to ask being youve been around banshees forever..

 

like i wrote above, anytime my shit has crept like that it was because the cable was just a little out of adjustment.

arrows line up perfectly.

what do the arrows have to do with anything? clutch cables can and do stretch.

[AKheathen]

just my thaught- worn baskett?

[docjcwatson]

Worn basket? On a billet 8 plate clutch? I don't think so. Possible yes. But highly unlikely.

 

I'm thinking adjuster nut man. I'd start there. If you haven't changed the cable in a while. Might look into that also.

[dragbanshee]

Like said above, cable could have stretched and maybe you just need to adjust at perch to get more pull out it.

I thought you DO NOT want the arrows to be lined up, I read that on a post that popped up from looking for info on clutch adj. Mine does the same thing. Has it always done this or did it just start??

[wesw]

seemed to start after lockup and those big springs. freeplay at lever is just enough i dont like a lot of free play if i need to tap the clutch to rev up i want it there not have to pull the clutch to get it to rev up quickly.

well then id say its in the adjustment down in the clutch, when you installed the lockup and im assuming a pancake bearing? the adjuster probably didnt go back in exactly as it came out. i think you can just adjust your cable up top and be fine. or if thats not enough, pull your cover off your lockup and readjust down below.
