ric-ross1 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 I had to get me a new clutch cable since the one came with the bike was messed up so i install it and the marks line up with the cases maybe just a hair difference but when i pull the line it moves the push level assambly but the actual lever feels like a joke to me, way too soft and it doesnt come back 100% i have to actually bring it back. thanks in advance, trying to ride my banshee for the first time since i got her not running.

AKheathen Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 sounds too me like your clutch pusher is backed off too far. without the cable, the lever on the case should move 1/4-1/8" and has a spring on it that is pretty hard to push past, but do-able by hand for most. then, attach/adjust the cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ric-ross1 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 do those springs go bad?? asking becasue i know what you mean is not soft to move but not hard at all so maybe mine is messed up?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjdgriff Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Well yeah you want to lube your cable but that shouldn't be your problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Is your pressure plate on straight? Did you adjust the pancake bearing(or stock)? Did you try to adjust up at the lever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 if you are feeling at the pertch(bars), then yah, it's pretty soft to over-ride that case lever spring, but will get hard when you actually start moving the clutch out. if you are pushing at the case, then it should put some fair denting in your thumb/finger. i sometimes grab a screw-driver to push with, and i'm a heavy duty mechanic. with the cable off, you should not be able to push it more than 1/4" from resting without adding leverage, like a big screw-driver, or prybar, etc. cable lube is just as immportant as oil changes/greasing, and that goes the same for the carb cables. do not hook the cable back up untill your clutch itself is in adjustment. then, hook it up and line up the arrows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ric-ross1 Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 thanks i hadnt put the cable on the actual calmp that holds the clutch on the cases. That was dumb of me but now its working just a hair of for the lines to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
