BANSHEE HP Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 you got a 85hp motor but not into dragging? your going to need some clutch upgrades, wheather its a lockup, or a combo of better fibers/steels, stiffer springs, or even a 8 plate clutch or the stock 7 plate.

Lots of Torque buddy. I currently have on now a Tusk HD setup. I need the power to get out of these tight turns. Ill post some videos later once I get my Go Pro and you'll see what I'm talking about. I have a Regular Stand Up Banshee with crazy power off course. Every once and a while we will line it up with the buddys. But thats not the route I'm going for.

BANSHEE HP Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 it sounds like you need a modded trans like a dunable over ride, or have every other cog removed from the gears and a lock up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jereme6655 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Camatv does stock trans mods. Lockup clutches allow the fibers to be clamped together harder as rpm increases. Over-ride Trans's are meant for drag racing (however there are a few people who run a dunable over-ride in trails which is slightly more forgiving) the reason being is that you can shift while under full load of the motor....without clutching. However there is one thing that is not a good idea with it.....and that is back-loading. Back-loading is when you downshift and release the clutch to allow the motor to assist in braking. Also called dynamic braking. There are 2 possibilities when it comes to a lockup. One being a direct drive style and one being a gigot slingshot. The direct drive style uses bolts/nuts as weights and uses rotating speed to pull the arms up and press harder on the clutch pack. The weights are changed by replacing the bolts/nuts. The gigot slingshot mounts under your stock cover (sometimes a little grinding of some nubs is required) and uses ball bearings to set the strength of the pressure on the clutch pack. To ease the pressure, just remove one of the 2 balls per slot. if that's still too much you can remove all the ball bearings from EVERY OTHER slot. Very adjustable. Hope the info has helped.

2004LEBanshee Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Wcr promod tranny with fast clutch. I have ported serval and can power shift all day. Smoothest tranny there is. Probably similar to cams modded tranny. You do not need an override or lockup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
