Bansh-eman Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 ok i got a brand new Hinson 8 Plate and installed it ... i broke my motor in and pulled the side cover off to fix my impeller bearing and i noticed metal shavings in the oil. after taking a closer look i noticed the pressure plate had been hitting something so i looked in the cover and its the three nipples inside the cover... has anyone had this problem before and what do i need to do to fix it?

wesw Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 yep learned that shit out the hard way also you can take a air sander or cut off wheel and remove like 1/8 inch off those tangs. it will give you enough clearance for the plate to move out. dont understand why their wasnt any instructions on this. learned on my own and reading on ps. then might spray your clutch with carb cleaner to get he shavings out and reput some oil in and try it out. good clutch system, just wish they would say st uff about that plate hitting the cover.

Bansh-eman Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Posted July 24, 2006 Bump.... anyone else had this problem? i emailed hinson asking why there isnt any notice of this when sold... kinda shity that this happens on a 800 dollar clutch.... now that its grinded some of the nipples off i dont really know how much more i can take off before the case leaks Quote

Is this the case for just banshees or do other models have the same issues (YFZ, TRX, etc)? Quote
Bansh-eman Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Posted July 25, 2006 i wish i knew i ws hoping to get more input on this but im guessing not many people have delt with this... im not sure how much metal you can take off the nipples befor you cause a leak.. i sent hinson a email about it but of course they havent sent shit back they got thier money they could careless.

RATBIKE0130 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 Remove the outer cover (3 screws) then you can grind them down until you open up the screw holes. Clean up all the shavings and make sure the screw holes are clean. Reinstall the outer cover and use locktite on the screws. Let it dry over night and reinstall the clutch cover. It shouldn't leak if you put a bit of locktite on the screws and let it dry before putting oil in there. I figure out that problem before I even ran my motor causing that damage. You should have noticed the limited clutch lever travel. Quote
wesw Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 measure the tangs. and remove just a bit around 1/8 of inch. i didnt have to go clear to the threads. Quote
RATBIKE0130 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 The amount to remove will depend on the thickness of the fibers... some are thicker than others and will need more removed from clutch cover. I just took a mill to mine and cut them down until I reached the screw holes. Quote

locogato11283 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 i think 800 bucks for a fuckin clutch setup is ridiculous. what all do u get for 800 bucks?? Quote
RATBIKE0130 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 clutch basket, clutch hub, clutch pressure plate, springs, friction plates, steel plates, and the ablility to add one extra friction and steel plate giving more holding power. Worth the money??? maybe... Bling factor hidden behind the clutch cover = extremely high! Quote
locogato11283 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 hmm, lockup only run you about 300... Quote
dajogejr Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 hmm, lockup only run you about 300... Word... for that much you can have a dunable override AND a lockup clutch damn near....and it'll be easier to pull and shift 10 times better... Quote
