BigMatt Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I pulled my motor to replace a motor mount, I noticed my clutch cable had a slight kink so I went and got a new one, Installed it and now my clutch lever wont return after I squeez it down. It seems like the spring does not have enough power to pull it back threw, But I never removed the spring assembly, I took a pic of it I have know Ideal if this will help but if anything is outta place let me know! here is the photobucket pic link: http://s682.photobucket.com/albums/vv182/mattrentz_2009/Yamaha%20Banshee/?action=view¤t=P1010032.jpg thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boneyardbanshee. Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Your bearing in the case is toast. That spring doesn't do very much in helping to move the arm, in fact I dont even have one on mine at the moment. Your clutch springs do most all the work. Anyhow, I am sure it's your acutator arm bearing in the case. IF for some reason it isn't that then it is in your clutch assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMatt Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 also I think its just something simple in my clutch assembly, I never took anything apart other than unhook the clutch cable to the spring assembly, And noticed a kink in my stock cable and picked up a new one, Worst case and I have to replace the bearing do I have to split the case? how much will it cost? and how difficult is it to do?

Drewski Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 you can remove the bearing without splitting the cases. However, you will need a blind bearing remover to get it out. Also, sometimes the bearing will be damaged as you pull it from the cases and needle bearings might fall out. Make sure you don't lose them down the hole.

boneyardbanshee. Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 It may be something in there but I still think it's the bearing. I had to replace one once. It was totally seized but the arm would still move. Bad news. Anyhow, there are a few ways to go about it. I will explain each. 1: Use the blind puller that Drewski said. This is best case senario. Easy to do if you have one. 2: Cut it out. Got to be very carful. Stuff a rag down in the hole so nothing falls in. Cut a little at a time it will come out eventually. Take a vaccume and suck out any crap left in there befroe removing the rag. Alot harder but don't have to split the cases. 3: This is the way I did it. IF you have been in there before and know the motor this is MY favorite way. Turn the motor upside down. Then you can split the cases without taking the top end off. It is not hard to do if you know the motor. Then you can access the bearing from the bottom and tap it out. When you put it back together make sure to line everything back up in the tranny and you will have no troubles. Any one these will work, go with the one you are most comfortable with. If you need more info sure we can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not seem to hard to replace, can you point me to a blind bearing puller? where to get one how much? seems the best way for me to do it. also what do you mean by the arm? are you talking about the clutch lever on the handle bars? does this typicaly happen all I did was unhook the cable. it will go threw all gears and the motor does turn over dont know if that will help.

boneyardbanshee. Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 The part that the cable attatches to is the clutch actuator arm. It goes down into the case and when it turns pushes against the pushrod wich in turn pushes your pressure plate to disengage your clutch.

Well I guess this is why you buy a banshee all this great help from a really good community I really appreciate all your help, now a day’s there really isn’t any reputable companies near me I could trust to do any work on it for me. So I rely on the information you guys give me, Anyways I plan on pulling it out I have no Ideal on how to go about this, so I’ll be asking lots of questions! And stopping in at my local dealer for a repair manual. So where can I buy a blind puller? I have lots of puller just not this kind nor have I used one, also what size? I plan on shopping around online for it, so a link would be nice if you got one. And how does this assembly come out? The bearing seems cheap enough but are there better ones to go with so this does not happen again? thanks man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
