Snopczynski Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 I run the Cascade Heavy Duty clutch myself. Quote
flyRTby Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 Call Jeff at F.A.S.T.! He knows his stuff, and has a great product! Quote
FrankieSquid Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 The barnett clutches are real good. I also heard and seen banshees with street bike clutches yamaha r6 clutches i think. Look into it bro they are they Shyt Quote
kr0nic Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Really depends on what you are doing or plan on doing (drag racing, mx racing, trail riding, duning). I had good luck with the tusk clutch, I ran it for 5yrs before replacing it with a stock clutch (honestly if you have steel plates, these are a really good clutch for the price ~$90 for the fibers). Heavier springs are a must though. With big HP, I would look into a lock-up. Quote
banshee_91 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Posted August 14, 2009 well my friend runs a 4 mil and i have a semi stock banshee and both of us do street riding...... Quote
Thack82 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 Buy a Driveline Heavy Duty Trail and Track Clutch (With YZF-1000 Street Bike Friction Plates) You can get one off eBay for $69.95 + $7.00 Shipping and the kit is good for 75 Horse Power with OEM Components. Driveline also has outstanding Customer Service, they will talk to you on the phone and answer your emails to help you figure out the kit that suits you best. Heres a eBay Link for the Driveline Kit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAHA-BANSHEE-CUSTOM-HEAVY-DUTY-CLUTCH-KIT-/300547413292?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item45fa05952c I just had Jeff at F.A.S.T. build me a Serval Cub and I junked my Clutch Basket and Pressure Plate and my clutch started slipping right after break in. I was running a Driveline Heavy Duty Trail and Track Clutch Kit and when we pulled the Kit out of the Basket it looked great I'd say it still has close to 80% life left and it had been in there for over a year and a half. That wouldn't be a big deal in most cases but figured the clutch had to be wore pretty bad do to a period of time when I had problems getting my Hydraulic Clutch bled out and adjusted. I had a heck of a time getting the slave cylinder to engage and disengage properly. I also run my Banshee in local Hare Scramble Races which is hard on a clutch to start with, and I prefer tall gearing (15/42) and thats even more stress. IMO I wouldn't buy a clutch from anyone other than Driveline. I just ordered there Stealth Lock-Up and there 8 Plate Extreme Dune/Trail Clutch Kit to go back in my Banshee. I'm going to keep my old Driveline Clutch as a Back Up. I would have ordered a Billet basket from Drive Line as well but they don't have one available at this time so I ended up buying a Mattoon Extreme 8 Plate Heavy Duty Billet Clutch Basket. Quote
figjam Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 Yo Thack, so glad you replied with that post. I'm thinking the exact same combo for my 421 serval. Don't want a lockup and I'm thinking of this driveline clutch - http://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAHA-BANSHEE-DUNE-TRAIL-RIDING-HEAVY-DUTY-CLUTCH-KIT-/290615478151?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item43aa084787#ht_638wt_1163 Hope it works well Quote
Thack82 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Yo Thack, so glad you replied with that post. I'm thinking the exact same combo for my 421 serval. Don't want a lockup and I'm thinking of this driveline clutch - http://www.ebay.com/...7#ht_638wt_1163 Hope it works well I just got the Kit put in and it works great. It's amazing how much stronger my Power Band feels when I'm actually getting all the power to the ground. If you running the 8 Plate Drive-Line Kit you need a 8 Plate Inner Hub I agree with the other members, my set up is over kill but then again I don't have to worry about loosing power do to a slipping clutch. I would strongly recommend the Drive-Line Stealth Lock Up. Quote
