d|aBLo81 Posted November 4, 2004 Report Posted November 4, 2004 another time... sorry for my english... ok... my clutch (barnett) work great... but... when i engage first gear... and I hit throttle (with hand on the clutch) the shee try to move... a litle bit... but he try... my clutch lever is adjuste with a litle play... to be sure the clutch is release.... it's normal the shee try to move? i run with 10w30 Motul 2 strokes gearbox oil (new from yesterday) thanks!!! (I'm in love whit my new shee and... BansheeHQ;) Quote
SDD Posted November 4, 2004 Report Posted November 4, 2004 Your clutch basket could be notched as well as the inner hub. DO NOT sit on the bike holding in the clutch and rev the motor. You will weld the ball to the clutch throw out push rod. I also don't like Motul gear oil... it's too light for my tastes and does not have the shock protection properties of heavy weight gear oils like Belray 85W gear saver. Quote
fixitrod Posted November 5, 2004 Report Posted November 5, 2004 A lot of our shees do the same thing. I'm trying different oils now. The oil I have in it now cause the clutch to stick really bad while in gear and the clutch pulled. It could just be the oil is thick. Do it do it as much when the oil is really warm from riding hard? That will let you know if it's just the oil. Quote
sandman121383 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Posted November 5, 2004 i also use an 80wt gear oil. i just use supertech since it's so cheap. i bought a 5 quart container i think for like 6 bucks. i change my oil more frequently now i just split my cases cas of a friend revving the piss outta my bike to get the ball and rod out! plus i had 2 buy a new clutch arm. it wasn't fun!

geaux 4 it Posted November 6, 2004 Report Posted November 6, 2004 This is normal with Barnett because they are a little thicker than stock.Just make sure you have the cable adjusted a little looser than you had it adjusted with the stock clutch. Quote
d|aBLo81 Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Posted November 9, 2004 cold or warm... no difference... but if it's normal with Barnett clutch's.... and yes my cable is loose... maybe not enough... thanks alot!... after a few riding days... I feel my banshee not pull hard like the first day... but after a ride on the stock (but perfect) friend's Z400... I ride back on the SHEE... and believe me... THE BITCH PULL HARD!!!)))) I'm in love with my Twin350... and my friends eat dirt (mud in this time;) Quote
fixitrod Posted November 9, 2004 Report Posted November 9, 2004 I have a dirt digger also. I went from motor oil to gear oil and to tranny oil and mine quit grabbing while in gear now. The dextron 3 did it for mine. Quote
