austin123sharon Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Hi everyone I'm new to this forum. Anyways i just picked up this beast and it runs great except for it seems to have a slipping clutch in high rpm's. So i got a new driveline performance clutch and its still the same exact problem. As soon as i go full throttle it tops out and doesn't speed up anymore and when i shift its immediately topped out in about every gear. Could any one diagnose this? This is the best way i could describe what its doing. Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Is the place you bought it and the place you ride it now drastically different elevations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfrjag Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 don't keep riding it or you will be destroying the new clutch either its not adjusted properly or your using some oil that's not ment for a wet clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Do you have a little slack in the clutch cable after the new install? Arrows on the cases lined up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin123sharon Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Which arrows are you referring to? And yes it has slack, i even unhooked the clutch cable and pushed it and hopped on and shifted into first and drove it like that and it exact same so its not any cable adjustments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 arrows on the case and clutch actuator. (initial adjustment) What oil? Did you soak the fibers first? Install a fiber first and last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin123sharon Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I was told by others to use 10w30 and i did soak them for about a half hour. And yes, fibers first and last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 here's pics of the arrows. first completely loosen cable at the handle bar lever. Push the actuator lever to the right with your finger, the arrows should line up. http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=114695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin123sharon Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Like i said it is exact same even without a clutch cable hooked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hp2000 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 It's the adjuster on the pressure plate that probably needs to be loosened Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 so then you did adjust the pressure plate correctly before putting the side cover back on and filling with fluids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin123sharon Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Crap!!! Thats what i didn't do... Is there a specific torque i should set on this bolt? That makes a lot of sense how it has been riding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 first completely loosen cable at the handle bar lever. Push the actuator lever to the right with your finger, the arrows should line up. ^^ You can test it first, before tearing it apart ^^ But if it doesn't, loosen the lock nut, turn the phillips screw while holding the lever to the right and stop adjusting when the arrows line up, lock down the nut, double check, done.

possum Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 if he was able to get play in the handle. The adjuster cant be to tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
