lincster Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 It is finally time for a new clutch in my bike. I am on the original, 1999 bike. Pretty good huh? The bike sat for 4 years when I built my first sand rail. Anyway, what brand does everyone recommend? I was going to go back with stock, since it has worked just fine for this long, but that is pricey. I haven't torn into it, so not sure if basket is shot. Clutch works just fine, just worn out. I only dune this bike, stock motor with mods listed in signature. Thanks for the input!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a mostly stock banshee I would use a Tusk clutch they are only like $50. I used one on my ported 350 and it worked great. How much is an oem clutch?

Rootracing Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Driveline clutches are the best, i use them & sell them $75 + shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincster Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I've got no more adjustment left and it slips when I am in 6th and running hard. OEM parts are like $200 for all the plates and springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert.b.west Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 If it slips get another one. There is more adjustment on the clutch it self. You just have to make sure your arrows are lined up on the case. Dont buy the OEM one. You can get a much better clutch for $100 or less. Jeff at F.A.S.T. has a nice clutch for around $100 ebc makes a good clutch also for around the same price but I think you would be very happy with the tusk clutch for $50. I have used a toomey clutch for a few years and have been very happy with that. It was about $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert.b.west Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 i have a driveline in my banshee too, i had a new tusk but it was slipping, the problem was the dimpled steels. The steels dont have to be replaced. You could use the oem steels. It is not like they wear out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I've used the tusk clutch in my stock motor, stock ported motor, and my 421 cub. Never had a problem from the dimpled steels? I would guess that design is to help hold some oil so the steels and fibers dont have a tendency to stick together. We usually throw the steels on the shop floor and slide them around to rough them up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
