Bought my 1st banshee few days ago. Was going really good for the 1st few days then i found it hard to get into 2nd gear. Every other gear is perfect and when i let of the load it wil go into 2nd by itself. Someone also said the quad sounded off and was revving too high as if sumthing was slipping. Also when i bought it, it would idle just fine an now it wont. I decided to take the clutch cover off an found the remains of a washer an circlip in the oil. The kick idler is almost off because of the circlip and washer. The clutch fibers are very low so ordered them along with kick idler. Would all these problems be related and causing it hard to find 2nd gear? Any help or advice would be great thanks

Well, the "spare" pieces might have been interfering with something. Could have gotten a new bushing for gear.

Start with cleaning carbs and setting floats. Slides and bowls are carb specific, don't mix them up (stock carbs). Inspect shift pawl (claw) on shift shaft for wear sloppiness, replace shaft if necessary.

 

BTW, Welcome !!!

Thanks for the quick reply. I have to order the bushing out of america and the price of shipping alone was costing the same as a new gear here in ireland. Now i have the clutch basket of when i turn the main shaft in nutral gear its smooth for 3/4 of a turn then it catches a bit then countines smooth until it hits the same point . Would i need to open the bottom end 2 inspect or is it fine? Its not catching alot just at that 1 wee point.

Well do you feel comfortable not checking that binding?

I dont no what to do. I dont want 2 put al the new parts in and have 2 open it again. On the other hand i cant really afford to fix a transmission atm. I dont feel comfortable, going on my luck its the transmission. I have never worked on a bottom end either might do more harm than good

Honestly, it's a lot easier then you might think. And transmissions are a lot cheaper then you might think. There's a great bottom end walk through pinned somewhere. Take a look through it and see how you feel. No sence to be scared of it. But if you do go through and feel you may have botched something, get on here and ask for help

A Shee is the easiest trans to work on, everything just lays in the case. Can even do it without taking jugs off. Just hold crank to top case half with tie down strap. Check the walk through, get a clymers or download a manual. To quote Savage " So easy a caveman can do it" he's right, I've done it twice.
