Banshee clutch problem

[Gotboost]

I just got this banshee this weekend and it has just a couple of small issues. So the clutch works I can high idle it and tap it into gear just fine and man it almost scares the living sh*t out of me how fast it is :biggrin: . Could the cable just be stretched out or is this something more to it like the springs in the clutch out on it? How much adjustment is there in the bottom adjuster on the trans?

do you mean it doesnt fully engage? as in when you have it pulled all the way in, the bike moves anyways?

i would suggest a clymer manual.. it will help you check it make sure its not all out of adjustment .. is the arrow on the top of the case lining up with the arrow on the clutch arm coming out of the case??? start there. you might just need to adjust it up on the bars or take off your cover and adjust the bolt in the clutch..

if it scares the shit outa u , your clutch is grabbin good ? i dont get it , id be more then willing to help you , clutch side shit is preety simple . Adjust the cable if thats no good adjust the center push pin pancake thing lookin thing on the clutch ( dead center screw on the outer pressure hub plate ) . Get a clymer and youll understand my jibberish

I think he means won't disengage Chase. As stated above, you are going to need to check adjustment. Look at the arm on top of the cases that your clutch cable connect to. There is an arrow on that arm and an arrow on the top case. Those arrows need to line up. If you find they don't, you are going to have to take the clutch side cover off to adjust it. At this point you will be able to physically check everything out. If you aren't familiar w/the banshee motor, you probably want to get that clymers so you can understand Chases jibberish. :biggrin:

I'd bet his is either out of adjustment and/or the basket is all notched up...

Thanks for your guys replys. So its engaged all the time like maybe the clutch cable is stretched out I have the adjuster on the handle all the way out. I downloaded that pdf manual is that what you guys are talking about?

like me and soneone else stated before check under your carbs there is a arrow on the case and a arrow on the clutch arm the should line up if they dont you need to take the clutch cover off and adjust the screw in the basket to get them aligned.. then worry bout the adjustment on the handlebars.. if the arrows are lined up you prolly have grooves in basket.. guess your rod and ball coulda welded too but i have never had that happen so i dont know if it sticks it engaged or makes it slip like a mo fo.. one more thing do you know if it has the right oil i have seen some put wrong oil in and it will be engaged till it gets real hott to make oil thinner...
