MessyJesse69 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I just bought an 01 Banshee bored .40 over and I love it! Except today I was riding and my clutch acted like the cable broke. I checked the cable and it was fine other than a loose strand or two. I started the bike and revved it up and my clutch magicaly started working again. So I have come to this conclusion. When the bike is at high rpms the clutch works perfect. Once the rpms drop I lose the clutch. It's Not the basket as the guy had just put a new basket and plates in it. I have no clue what the problem is help me?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burke Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 it's a new basket & clutch pack or that's what the previous owner told you?... there are lots of Banshee's on craigslist that have just been rebuilt or have $10,000 worth of aftermarket parts on them and owners that can show no proof or competence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91coupemike Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Had the same issue, it'll eventually go out completly. What I found to be my problem was the nut for the pancake bolt on the clutch had come off, the falling and returning of the clutch was the nut backing off and when it came off there was no clutch at all. Simple fix, pulled clutch cover. Put the washer and nut on, set the cable (use loctite, failure to will result in this), and reassemble.

MessyJesse69 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hopefully your right. And I know the guy so I don't think he would lie plus I can still see the gaskets so it's been recently rebuilt. Fucking hauls balls scares the shit outta me.

MessyJesse69 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 So I tire the sidecover off and I can see the clutch now what do I do? all I see is a rod with a Phillips on the end and a nut just inside the clutch. Do I take the clutch out? I need detailed help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
