Banshee2105 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Posted November 6, 2018 Okay so this past weekend I went to Ocotillo and had a half successful trip. A few days before I went on the trip I put the clutch together. While I was doing that I noticed the nut that holds the clutch basket on is the same size as stock on the outside (32mm) but the threads were bigger if that makes sense. A stock nut will not screw on my crank only this nut will. It is a long rod crank. The problem is this is stopping my bike from moving and the clutch from working at all. I think the back of the pressure plate (right by the holes the spring screws go through) is hitting the nut and stopping the clutch from engaging because the pressure plate won't quite seat right and make contact with the fiber. And yes I lined the pressure plate up right but even with the pressure of the springs it isn't seated quite right. I am able to pull the clutch in and it does move a little but not as much as my other Banshee. Any of you guys ever dealt with this? Why would my crank have a larger inner diameter than stock? How would I fix this? I don't have pictures because the quad is still put together. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote

Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk On the clutch side, the primary nut is M16x1 and the one that hold the basket is M20x1 Im not sure to understand your problem. We will need some pics.

Sent from my Pixel XL using TapatalkThis is impossible. There’s no way the pressure plate can hit the clutch basket nut. Let’s see some pics of this. Quote
sheerider11 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Posted November 7, 2018 Like said, 100% impossible. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Quote
Ayesully810 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Posted November 7, 2018 Anything is possible if you believe Quote

I'll get you some pictures. Hopefully tonight, but I have limited space. But it is in fact happening. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote
Keno Posted November 7, 2018 Report Posted November 7, 2018 If you are talking about the pusher nut, then the clutch pusher nut should be on the outside of the pressure plate. Quote
ginger Posted November 7, 2018 Report Posted November 7, 2018 this is when a clymers manual would help a lot. Quote
97Screamer Posted November 7, 2018 Report Posted November 7, 2018 The only way that is possible is if you have some huge nut on there. Just order an OEM nut and be done with it. I've got some in San Diego you can pick up for free if you don't want to spend the money. Quote
Banshee2105 Posted November 7, 2018 Author Report Posted November 7, 2018 this is when a clymers manual would help a lot. Yeah I am going to take it apart and see if I put it together wrong. I'm leaning that way. I built my 89 and the clutch works great, not sure where I went wrong here. I'll keep you guys updated. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote
JUSTWANNARACE Posted November 7, 2018 Report Posted November 7, 2018 Sounds to me that you are missing one of the big space washers either behind the basket or in front of it. There should be one in both places 1 Quote
