KaosBanshee44 Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 I guess i can say my knowledge of how hott the clutch cover gets isn't that good. When you get done riding for lets say 30 minutes are you suppose to put your hand on top of the clutch cover and only feel a little heat or is it suppose to be unbearable that you can't leave it on there long?

grounded Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 Riding out in the dunes(20-30 mins) pretty hard I can touch mine after about 10 minutes, on my old warrior on the same ride , it stayed too hot to touch for at least 30 minutes. Same oil was used and both bikes were running perfectly, I guess if you really abuse the clutch you can get the temps to soar. Quote
KaosBanshee44 Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Posted July 18, 2007 Ok i thought so, when i first got the banshee i did work here and there but never really touched the case cover so when i changed it out with a polished one and drained all the fluid etc. i ran it for a bit and felt it and freaked out cause i never knew or know how hott it's suppose to be. Maybe i'm just worrying about something that i shouldn't worry about. P.S. I worried about it so much i ordered a billet impeller thinking the stock one wasn't cooling right...lol So i have the cover off again installing that. I guess i'm like most people on here i like my bike running right and everything to perform right and install everything TIDEOUS to the max! Quote
FireHead Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 I would guess it gets to around 150 degrees F, but I can't remember for sure. I used to instrument the crank chaber on the cases when I had an engine on the dyno, so I assume the clutch cover would heat up about the same. Quote
