McNasty Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 My bike got stuck in 4th gear twice. After I got it going after push-starting or going down a hill, it was fine. Is that a messed up shift fork? Transmission? Clutch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 My bike got stuck in 4th gear twice. After I got it going after push-starting or going down a hill, it was fine. Is that a messed up shift fork? Transmission? Clutch? Pull your clutch cover off and remove your cluch/clutch basket. Inspect the shift shaft and shift-star mechanism. Chances are its getting worn out. I have also seen the little nub on the clutch cover that holds the shift shaft in place get worn out and cause this type of problem. In any case, you will need to remove the clutch cover and clutch to inspect the shifting mechanism. If you don't see anything wrong there, get ready to split the cases. I have a link to a bottom end assembly in my signature if you need any pics or help. - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Cal Suspension Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 This happened to me, but my bike got stuck in 3rd gear. I limped it back to the trailer, shut it down, and was ready for my trip to be over. When I went to load up, I figured I'd give it another shot, and it shifted through all the gears perfectly fine. Ran it for two more seasons after that with no issues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it can cause more problems, depending on what the problem actually is. Don't pay a shop to do it. Its easy stuff. Probably hardest thing you will have to deal with is removing the big clutch nut. You will need an impact or a clutch-holding tool. If you don't have the tools I suppose you will need to pay a shop, but it really is an easy job to do. Ask around here on HQ and see if someone from the board lives near you that can come over and help. Where do you live? - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont be a bitch.. Work on the bike yourself! If you dont have the confidence to work on your bike then you may as well just sell it. You will pay thousands over the life of your bike if you gotta take it to the shop everytime it needs something.. Go slow, pay attention, make little drawings as to where things go, take pictures, ask questions, BUY A MANUAL, you will have no problems these things are AMAZINGLY simple!

Larry's Shee Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Pay for gas and I'll come over. O wait, I'm 2500 miles from Cali Seriously if you take it to the stealership you will meet their head mechanic, Ben Dover. Buy a Clymers, Genuine Yammy service manual, or down load one. There probably isn't an easier engine to take apart. Only special tool needed is a Banshee flywheel puller (not 2 or 3 jaw) and 32mm socket for clutch nut. Above all, Don't Be Scared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jereme6655 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 And the clutch holding tool is helpful. They really are super simple to pull apart. And you don't really need to pull your top end off either if it's just to inspect the transmission......just flip it upside down and split the cases.....youll be able to inspect the trans and the shift shafts without taking the top tend off....

sidewayz Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I had a similar issue, pulled the clutch cover and found a busted SHIFT SHAFT ECCENTRIC BOLT . Its on the left side when looking at the clutch . Wiggle the shifter and it should move an arm up and down. The adjuster bolt is on the arm that goes up and down.

camatv Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 if you dont feel confident and want the repair done right the first time look around your area and see if there are any local shops that specialize in banshee's. im sure from your location there are a TON of reputable shops' or builders that can help you out.. i know there are a LOT of people that just want to ride and have a good time after working a long week and dont really want to mess with these kind of things. either way a GOOD honest shop can figure out your issue very quickly adn you never know you may find a place that you can use in the future that you would trust with any other issues you might have. big or small. hands on experience is hard to beat.
