sandman Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) I was down at the ore. Dunes a couple weeks ago & started experiencing some difficulty getting the bike into neutral otherwise it ran fine. I drained the oil & found a lot of alum. Shavings. Once I got home I took the clutch cover off & found that the inner most fiber plate had broke into quite a few pieces. This is the first time in 19 years of being a banshee owner that I have had this happen. Anyone know what causes this to happen or is it just "one of those things"? Bike is an 05 & has some port work, domes prob. In the low 60's for hp I'm guessing with factory clutch basket/plates & stiff spring set on press. Plate.

Tedder Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yep, Most often from clutch chatter. Steels and fibers can both be broken. We've see it on our asphalt bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Old parts can shatter after being soaked in oil for many seasons. Is this a bike that's clutch has been rebuilt recently or a stock bottom end that's been hopped up over the years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bike was tore down completely after I brought it home from dealer for powder coating, along with the cases being split for the stock crank to be welded up porting. etc.. It's been in there for 9 years. Basket looks really good as far as notching is concerned as what little bit of notching there is you can hardly feel if at all.

trickedcarbine Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 already exhausted his search for porn online... was a whole lotta pornActually I was tired of beating my dick senseless by week 2 or 3. I already had a severe porn addiction before the bum leg. Weird, my chick watches just as much porn so she's got no problem with it as long as she gets dick when were in bed together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 These pics. show the fact. banshee clutch vs. the older clutch pack I saved from an older bike that I believe is out of a R6 streetbike if I'm not mistaken. Fiber plates are wider on the R6 clutch vs. the banshee clutch along with the steel plates being round instead of irregular shaped. Gonna throw this one in & run it til it gives up I guess.

trickedcarbine Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Driveline. I had been messing with some carbon fiber clutches STY gave me. I think they're Barnett. They are pretty snazzy. Took it apart twice to check on em and they hold up sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
