Shifter question

[Dan7305]

So, I searched, but I think I have a unique issue.

 

Recently bought a banshee, working on fixing it up. It had a bastard of a welded shifter on it, bought a used stock one off eBay, and the stock one points about vertical when the bolt is lined up with the groove in the shaft.

 

So the shift shaft isn't clocked properly.

 

I can grind in a new groove no problem, but how important is the clocking of the shift shaft? Should I tear it apart now, or will it be fine.

Does it shift ok?

[Dan7305]

I haven't really tried much, it will go into and out of first and second. The jugs are currently out being ported so I don't want to rock it too much and have the pistons moving unsupported.

 

According to the previous owner it did shift fine.

Just for shits and giggles, drain the oil and pull the clutch cover. Take pictures then post them here.

umm.  Pivot the shifter 1-2 grooves down?

[Bennett131]

It should have some adjustment up and down, he made it sound like its the only way it fits on the shaft.

[Juststrokeit]

Could the shaft be pushed off the eccentric screw on the other side? Causing it to be off now?

Sheerips, I don't think 1-2 grooves will fix this. http://m.imgur.com/3P4tUwO

 

And it's lined up on the shaft. http://m.imgur.com/evKhuXL

 

Bennett, I'll get the picture this weekend.

 

Just stroke, I don't have a clue, I've never had one apart so I don't know how it works.

I'm thinking that is for a YFZ450

I know it is NOT for a Banshee

I like the bastard shifter under the hammer......lol

 

Who knows what else is in that bottom end.....

 

it through chain wacked case, bent original shift shaft, got replaced with whatever fits.

 

Tear it down....or Mickey mouse it now to tear down later

[Dan7305]

Hopped up... Wait, that's not even a banshee shift shaft? Or it's not a banshee shifter?

 

Kawa, yeah, looking at it the made the bastard shifter to fit this shaft location, then it hit on the foot peg, so they just took the peg off.

 

My issue with tearing it down is that I don't really know how it's all SUPPOSED to be. I suppose I should pick up a repair manual.

[Dan7305]

And how can you tell it's the wrong one?

[hoppedupandcutdown]

Your new (used) shifter is not Banshee

[Dan7305]

Yay for eBay!

 

So is the shaft at least correct?

[Dan7305]

If the shaft is the right one, I'm going back to my original impression that the case has never been apart on this motor, just a quick hone and ring job to sell it to the kid I bought it from.
