locogato11283 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 no thats BS. you can use the clutch to upshift or downshift. tell us EXACTLY what its doing and be specific as to what parts of the bike are doing what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think if it has a override the guy who sold it to you should of said something about it. What are your mods. Race fuel would only make a difference on your compression ratio.

I JUST LET OFF THE THROTTLE, TIME IT JUST RIGHT AND UP SHIFT AT THE RIGHT TIME. IT IS VERY SMOOTH BUY MY FRIEND TOLD ME IT'LL WEAR OUT THE GEARS PREMATURELY. I CAN'T BE SURE, BUT I'D RATHER REPLACE THE CLUTCH INSTEAD OF THE GEARS, SO I NOW USE THE CLUTCH MORE OFTEN. : ] DOES YOUR BROTHER KNOW HOW TO SHIFT? DO YOU THINK HE MAY HAVE WORN OUT THE CLUTCH? IF NOT, THE GUY MAY JUST BE TRYING TO PIN THE BLAME ON SOMEONE ELSE FOR A PROBLEM HE KNEW ABOUT. I JUST READ THE RACE FUEL PART. DOES IT HAVE A LOT OF HORSEPOWER? MAYBE HE DIDN'T PUT A HEAVY DUTY RACE CLUTCH IN THERE AND THE ENGINE OVERPOWERED IT AND WORE IT OUT, BUT I AM JUST SPECULATING. I JUST KINDA THREW THAT ONE OUT THERE.

shogs Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Get a clymers manual off ebay as soon as you can. For now though, go to babbittsonline.com type in your model banshee and all that then look at the clutch assembly and all that to make sure you have all the parts you need and you can start using the names of real parts so we can help you diagnose your problem A LOT FASTER.
