dirtdigginjoe Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Your clutch adjustment is probably off- you can do small adjustments on the perch by unscrewing the barrel adjuster to see if it helps. Larger adjustments would be made on the pressure plate, under the clutch cover. How old is your cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that your from Longisland also. Tuning house cycles of bohemia replaced all the parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtdigginjoe Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Then it's most likely your adjustment screw at the pressure plate- it'll cause the clutch holder arm to not line up (or come close) to the arrow on the cases.Yeah I'm from Coram, and the quad is at my gf's in Farmingville. I use Diggin Racing as my local shop...wayy better pricing and knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I've heard that grooves worn in the clutch basket case cause that. Mine will do that if I don't let it warm up before popping it out of neutral, but will be fine the rest of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also been noticing that sometimes it doesnt want to find neutrol, and it doesnt shift as im changing gears as easy as it should. Could this be from the same cause?

So i guess we have the same problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtdigginjoe Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Absolutely, as your clutch isn't actually disengaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 A lot of bikes do this , even brand new ones. More than likely your problem is just the cold oil is thicker and causes more drang between the clutch plates and gears etc. with engine not warmed up and running smoothly yet this extra drag causes it to die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 seeing as how you just had your pushrod and ball replaced, I would suspect that first. ddj got it right with how to adjust it....it isn't disengaging all the way.....can make for real hard times to shift when your out riding. The neutral thing is just the nature of the banshee.....they never have been easy to find neutral with. Seeing as how you welded the rod and ball together.....ever think of getting a pancake bearing? More than likely you welded the ball due to riding style.....coming to long stops, or coasting down from high speed runs holding the clutch the whole time. The pancake bearing removes the pressure from the ball and rod and puts a bearing in between them......no more friction to cause issues.

trickedcarbine Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 X2 on the pancake bearing. Get it adjusted properly and it should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
