Man-O-Steele Posted September 12, 2013 Report Posted September 12, 2013 pondering the idea of running a fast clutch with stock springs on the following parts: fast dune port, 33pwks, +4 timing, noss head 21cc domes, vf3 reeds, t5s etc. just the basic trail dune bike mods. my question is do you think that the clutch will hold up with stock springs? im kind of sick of the pull on the lever with the asv shorties and i dont personally feel like heave springs help that much.

RagunCajun Posted September 12, 2013 Report Posted September 12, 2013 I prefer light springs with a lockup Quote
Nightmare Posted September 12, 2013 Report Posted September 12, 2013 have you tried staggering the springs? 3 soft 3 stiff? dont like the pull get a hydro clutch... I run a hydro clutch for racing (less rider fatigue) but i run stiff springs + lock up. X2 on the staggered springs. Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Sandking Posted September 12, 2013 Report Posted September 12, 2013 It'll be fine no heavy springs needed with your set up Quote
Starwriter Posted September 12, 2013 Report Posted September 12, 2013 I've run 3 stock and 3 aftermarket springs on every Banshee I've owned, as do all my friends. With a good, lubed cable, you'll be fine. Quote
Finch Posted September 12, 2013 Report Posted September 12, 2013 All oem on both my 4 mills cub does have a luck up tho Quote
trickedcarbine Posted September 12, 2013 Report Posted September 12, 2013 have you tried staggering the springs? 3 soft 3 stiff? dont like the pull get a hydro clutch... I run a hydro clutch for racing (less rider fatigue) but i run stiff springs + lock up. Stiff springs are killing the holeshot. They do nothing good when on a lock up. OP, you shouldn't need super heavy springs for that. You should look in to a sling shot type lock up and run ultra light springs in it. It is like pulling a new Honda 4 poke dirt bike clutch. Quote
RagunCajun Posted September 13, 2013 Report Posted September 13, 2013 I run a sling shot, best part is you can run them under the stock cover. My clutch probably from 01 couldnt handle the 4mil's power. The slingshot held it and it never slipped again lol. Ran 3 years like that too. Quote
Man-O-Steele Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Posted September 13, 2013 i had a lock up on it a while back and i couldnt get it to shift for shit with it. soon as i took it off it shifted just fine. right now im running staggered 3hd 3 stock springs. i pondered hydraulic clutches but dont like the reliability factor. it just annoys me to be ridding all day with a pull like that. how does the sling shot work?

Zillaguy Posted September 13, 2013 Report Posted September 13, 2013 staggered 3hd, 3 stock... It works good, i can ride all day and never notice the hard pull, but i'm running regular length ASV levers, with a new cable... The shortys just seemed like they'd be too much of a pull, for my liking... The slingshot is a good idea, but it will make it hard to shift without an override.. Lock ups are more for the drag guys that run overrides, and aren't clutching between shifts. Quote
possum Posted September 13, 2013 Report Posted September 13, 2013 like mentioned. all stock springs with some weight on a lockup is the best way. Quote
5150banshee Posted September 13, 2013 Report Posted September 13, 2013 I run 3 stock and 3 Barnett with my lock out.....HP2000 taught me that trick after he was tired of hearing me cry about my clutch from then on no complaints been that way for going in 4 seasons. Sent using Tapatalk Quote
jbooker82 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Posted September 13, 2013 Get a normal length lever instead of a shorty. Quote
RagunCajun Posted September 13, 2013 Report Posted September 13, 2013 I have an override in my play bike. I forgot with a lockup its hard to shift without an over ride. my mistake Quote
