dleethatsme Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 I bought a banshee late last summer and 3 weeks of owning I had to replace the eccentric bolt in the shift mechanism. got it all put back together and took it for a test run for about 30-45 minutes. I grabbed the clutch as I was coasted into my driveway. opened up the garage door and banshee decided she wasn't movin anymore. I can shift through the gears but no movement what so ever the bike just revs. I triple checked that i had everthing set right with the clutch and shift mechanism and im pretty confident its right. any suggestions?

Surfrjag Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 I doubt its a shift fork issue. Sounds like your clutch adjustemt is out of wack or something. Id pull the cover and check everything out again Quote
dleethatsme Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Posted March 13, 2015 I already have. I wanted to make sure it wasn't something real dumb before I asked ha. Quote
Surfrjag Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 You have tension on your clutch handle still? Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 Shift star still attached?? Pawl and spring good?? Quote
dleethatsme Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Posted March 13, 2015 Yes and yes. I can see and physically feel the star shifting Quote
dleethatsme Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Had absolutely no warning signs when it occurred. Held the clutch in until I was stopped. Open up the garage door and hopped back on and nothing. Edited March 13, 2015 by dleethatsme Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 Noggin pokin needed. Seems that all forks would have to be totally broke off to get nothing. Might be easiest to check with crank gear off. With tires off ground, rotate clutch by hand and try shift into gear. From symptoms either rivets gone, hub(s) blown, or shaft broke. Quote
dleethatsme Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Posted April 20, 2015 Thanks for your help. The problem was actually the nut on the front sprocket for the chain actually fell off and the sprocket was just riding on the threads. Pissed me off when I found it... Quote
