Polish Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I have a 2004 banshee......... I kept the stock basket (Yamaha has proved good tech on it and it works awesome!!!!) Try some clutches out of a YZ490 instead of replacing them with mods or stock.......and also go with 3 stock springs ...and 3 barnett springs I recently put a stroker motor in my shee .....so I was forced to go to 6 barnet springs....... What a difference with YZ 490 clutches there thicker and stronger!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Cool, I haven't heard about the yz490 fibers in a long time. They are different part numbers both factory and barnett. Let us know how it holds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polish Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 So far it works awesome.........some guys here in So Cal use them on stroker motors......but they can be used on any motor with lighter springs! Instant grab on the clutch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotts96fast Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Can anyone explain how a clutch will put the power to the ground? I hear people trying all kinds of clutches and see such a improvement.I just don't understand how a clutch can do this. I do know on my shee I seem to have a harder pull in the midrange than WOT.The plugs look great with a chop.I just think I have more wheel spin at WOT than the midrange.

You are "putting more to the ground". Its like drag racing cars. The guy with the better clutches and softer slicks is going to put more power to the ground (most times). That is in all actuality what racing is. The more torque you and apply to the ground, the more ground you will gain. The idea beind the better clutch is it grabs harder, faster and KEEPS holding. Some stock clutches slip a little when the power band hits and you don't even notice it unless you know how your bike handles exactly. Your clutch will not affect how your bike runs or your powerband, only how well it links the tranny to the crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolguyson Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 cluch effects the powerband...no clutch no power. Strong clutch and postive traction. Scott, do you know how a wet clutch works in a banshee? If not, a basic pressure plate compresses against a set of 7 clutch fibers. The tension on the pressure plate is produced by a set of springs. The stiffer the springs the more pressure it puts against the clutch plates. So, if you have a stock clutch with stock plates and stock springs it will have less pressure against the clutches to keep it from breaking loose and spinning. A little thicker clutch plate with a better composite and stiffer springs on it will stick better. Also remember that the stiffer the springs the stiffer the clutch pull. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
