clutch adjustment

[BansheeMxer#45]

i bought a 01 banshee this summer and rode it till about october when i started to notice the clutch was not disigaging right. when i put it in first gear it it go forward a little then stop and if i pull the clutch in rev it high it kreeps forward a little. or if i go down the rode and then pull clutch in and down shift i can feel it slowing.

any one know what problem it cause i dont thing thats normal. i took clutch apart and measured plate they are good but i think i might need new springs because the pressure plate dose not come out straight so i think it might be catching on it a little.

 

what you guys think

just my .02 but check the cable adjustment. See if there is slack in the cable and tighten it. Could be that with slack it aint fully disengaging the clutch.

To avoid confusion where slack in the cable and actuation point is concerned, remove cable from clutch lever, check that the marker on your top case halve is aligned with marker on clutch actuator when you move actuator in direction of travel with just slight pressure against the clutch assy(by hand).If they do not line up, remove clutch cover and loosen adjuster nut in the center of outer pressure plate. Adjust until these marks line up with slight pressure on actuator using your fingers, not the clutch lever, also make sure the actuator isn't bent or fatigued. After they line up, tighten lock-nut, put it back together and adjust slack out of cable with about 1/8-1/4" movement in clutch lever. If your clutch is assembled correctly and in good shape, it will operate perfectly....Jim

after you do the adjustment,if you still have problems, it could be a worn clutch basket, or something as simple as you my need a oil change. also a banshee will creep when it's cold untill the oil warms up.
