Expected life of a banshee clutch

[band-one]

Just got a well maintained stock banshee with almost no hours on it. Given that launching means slipping or dumping the clutch and that these beasts have little low end, what are you all seeing for average clutch life? Most of my riding is on sand flats/loose dirt. Thanks.

Bone stock machine and a lot of drag racing/sand....one to 3 seasons.

 

 

Pipe and jet it, one season of hard abuse, keeping the tranny/clutch oil changed every few rides.

 

Stock clutch is designed to handle 33 to 35HP...which, it does pretty well just putting around and trail riding. sand robs power and clutch life, as does drag racing. Throw in some simple bolt on mods...well, you get the point.

 

When you're ready for a new, call Jeff @ FAST. His clutch with 3HD springs, 3 stock springs held up all last year with my stock motor, pipes, timing advance and pod filters. It also held up all this year with my cub motor (twice the HP of my stocker) with 6HD springs.... I have no hesitation to put it back in use now that I'm building an alky burning, override/lockup bike....

This was a suprise to me. In a bind, I bought a TUSK HD kit, 35 bucks with 6 HD springs. Its going on almost a year now, and still does great. I do a lot of drag racing, and trail riding. My mods are in my sig (porting,20cc domes,28mm keihins, 15t, etc...) Even dealt with all the ice drags last year, and still holding. So, id say thats a good bang for the buck!!
