shift_down Posted January 29, 2006 Report Posted January 29, 2006 Hey everyone. I just replaced the clutch on my friends 05 shee. I adjusted the clutch down under the carb and the clutch lever felt firm/great. After doing some riding today, we noticed that the clutch lever at times will go loose and not disengage the clutch. then after riding a bit, the clutch will work again. this happened a few times today. We tried to adjust the free play at the lever and we were able to tighten it but with the adjustment screw all the way out. After some riding the clutch got loose again. Can someone please help me fix this?? P.S. what are the tourqe numbers on the locknut at the clutch discs. Quote

So the people at our local shop told him the best stuff to use iis Motul 2-stroke transmission fluid...so thats what he brought back. Quote
crazywheelerman365 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 Did you pre-soak the clutches ? Quote
rocketboy Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 the nut probably came off the gear drive Quote

shift_down Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Posted January 31, 2006 thanks for all the replies.... Im not sure if the tranny fluid we used is synthetic or not, but we definitely soaked the discs. As for the locknut on the clutch assembly, it was definitely torqued down, everything was. But the specs are questionable. I think the manual I read showed to torque the locknut down to somewhere between 5-7 pounds, I cant remember off the top of my head. can someone please verify the torque specs on the the spring bolts and the locknut??? thanks again.

MILO Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 if everything else checks out ok and is adjusted properly, check the clutch push lever assembly. sometimes the seal will go bad and let water, dirt and junk into the lever bearing and of course it will bind up and wear out. when this happened to mine, it would bind up sometimes and be really hard to pull, sometimes it would be almost no tension, sometimes it would grab hard, sometimes slip bad, or whatever. i replaced the seal, bearing, arm, spring, etc. pretty much the whole assembly and a new cable and shee's as smooth as could be again.

Shee-Male Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 What about the little ball bearing for the clutch lever, did you forget that? Quote
shift_down Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Posted February 2, 2006 Im not sure about a ball bearing on the clutch lever??? can you please go into a bit more detail?? Im open to all suggestions. Thanks again everyone!!! this is a great site and shows what a forum is supposed to be like. it looks like banshee owners are pretty cool people. I am surprised at how many replies I have received for my first post. Other sites would have pointed me to the service manual, and called me a noob. thanks again. Quote
