IROOST1 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 I want to know if there are supposed to be o-ring things inbetween all the clutch plates. I have done a lot of two stroke clutches but have never seen anything like that. Wouldnt, they dissrupt the plates from grabbing one another. Quote

dajogejr Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 no there isnt any o ring in a banshee clutch at all just steels and fibers thats it Wrong...bud. Stock clutches (OEM) have an oring on the inner edge of each of the fibers. This was Yamaha's great idea to cut down on clutch chatter. However...I've yet to see an aftermarket clutch that uses these stock O Rings. So, once you replace the clutch with an aftermarket, they get pitched.... :thumbsup: Quote

Bansh-eman Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 mine had them .......but i tossed them hope it dont mess anything up....... it wont mess anything up... iv never seen a banshee clutch have them... the first time i rebuilt my clutch i saw the clymers said you needed and i was freaking out cause no one had any of the orings... every after market clutch dosent have them casue like da said its to cut doen on chatter.

He he...that means you've only worked on aftermarkets...lol mine had them .......but i tossed them hope it dont mess anything up....... Not sure if any long term effects, but prolly not the greatest idea. Stock fibers have a larger ID where they slide onto the hub. This rubber O Ring fills that gap, and creates a cushion. There shouldn't be a gap there....so, you're taking your luck into your own hands for sure.... Quote
dajogejr Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 Let me clarify.... If you still have the stock fibers in there, prolly not a good idea to run them with that gap. If you replaced the clutch with an aftermarket....you're good to go... Quote
IROOST1 Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Posted October 18, 2006 Good thing i asked, i was just gonna chuck em instead of reinstalling them. Quote
