oprahwinfree Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 So today i let one of my buddies(rides a blaster) have a go at my shee. He made a couple of passes long passes on a gravel road until he called me saying that he was sorry because he messed up my clutch. So i ride over to him and he proceeds to tell me that he was just shifting and all of a sudden the clutch lever had no tension on it and it started revving out so he hit the kill switch. Upon inspection i found that the clutch cable worked its self out of the slot it gets held in on the actuator arm so i put it back in and still nutting.The spring on the actuator arm still has tension on it, and it still will go through all gears when i pull the lever or do it manually but my cable still has no tension on it . I'm still pretty new the banshee and have only had one for a little over a month, and have never dealt with a problem like this on my other quads. So i was wondering if my spring on my actuator arm is getting worn, or my cable is just stretched that badly......or some other crazy solution that can only be know by those ridiculously knowledgeable bhq members . All info Appreciated-thanks Quote
Josh Z Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 first of all I did not know oprah rides a shee! I hope the throttle gets stuck!!! lol JK Ok so. just to clarify. if you pull the clutch cable off can you pull the clutch arm? if you can then there is a problem in your clutch cover. I highly doubt that your friend did this. good luck. Quote
BigRed350x Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 I would pull the clutch cable and see if its still a solid cable or if you have a break in it somewhere. If you don't find the problem pulling the clutch cable, then it sounds like its time to pop the clutch cover off and do a little inspection. Its really not hard at all to remove the clutch cover. Make sure if you do that you have a new clutch cover gasket to put on when you replace the cover. - Jared Quote

oprahwinfree Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Posted July 4, 2011 So i did the adjustment and i still got nothing. Do you guys think its time for a new clutch? Quote
zach15 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 i would take the whole shaft out on my banshee the bearing inside was bad and it did the same thing. Quote
