blaster2006 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) everytime i search clutch covers for banshees on ebay, all i see are those stupid billet ones.. (im talking just about the circle thing.. that you replace for look for example.. something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/YAMAHA-BANS...%3A1|240%3A1318. what if i only want the circle part to be see-through (transparent)? the only transparent ones are the full clutch covers with the water pump etc and lock up clutch, can someone tell me where i can find a see through one just the circular piece to change for looks? if people sold those it would make LOADS of money...

locogato11283 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 even if you get a transparent one, youre not going to be able to see anything with a stock clutch cover. thats why they dont make them see through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulvafan537240 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 the full covers with lexan clutch covers are for a lockout clutch. you can buy the lexan piece from direct drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 you have to cut the stock cover, and seal the shit out of it, if you have the tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterlocal22 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 you need a lock out clutch cover like mentioned above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaster2006 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 great.. ive never really understood what a lock up clutch does other than just.. i mean keep it safe so it does not slip? is that all it does? if it keeps the clutch from slipping, why doesnt everybody have one.. like a must have, instead of everyone having pipes etc. or is it only for heavy modded bikes? and is the lockup fairly easy to install?

bonbon Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 It's only needed in higher horsepower bikes, and is a big hit for drag racing. Basically it puts extra pressure on your clutch pack and keeps it tight together almost instantly when you get off of the clutch. There is not a lot of slipping going on if any at all. I like to be able to slip my clutch personally, but may go to a lockup when I get my new motor together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundish2800 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 most people who have a lock up run an override trans.Its mostly for drag racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twizted269 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 even if they made the clear center caps, you would still have to cut and trim the material behind it. it is still solid after you remove the center cap. i have one made up like that but havnt used it. had an extra cover laying around and said why not? still unteasted for leaks though.
