clutch issue

[chris_sims1981]

My banshee's clutch will not engage, I checked everything and found that the linkage below the carbs has no spring pressure at all. what could be the issue?

Well, what did you do? Were you riding? Were you in the cover touching shit?

I bought it that way and the only thing i have done to it so far is change the clutch cover due to it having a crack in it, I didn't touch anything else

Check that the arrow on the pressure plate is lined up with the arrow on the inner clutch hub

↑↑↑ What he said. Or your clutch is burnt up. Or you are mixed up on what engaged and disengaged mean. Buy a Clymer manual and then tear into it. If you're too cheap to pay Clymer for their efforts of printing the book, you're too cheap to own a Banshee.

I have the manual just not familiar with it because its only my second bike and I never had any clutch problems until now

I have the manual

Great. Now read every bit of the clutch section, check your adjustments according to the manual. If you still have problems, disassemble the clutch and inspect for the pressure plate assembled wrong or worn parts.

By the way I forgot to say that it has a Hinson quick change clutch
