grantevans713 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Having some issues with my 97 banshee. Banshee shifts when moving, but when at a stop will not shift above second. In addition when I am riding sometimes it misses shifts or will shift to neutral from any gear. From what I have read I think its the clutch? I had a pull the transmission out and put a new one in so it can't be that. What is causing my issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Make sure the claw on the shift shaft is not all weebly wobbly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantevans713 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Check your essentric scew / adjustment. The shifter ideally needs to be centered, SOME people adjust it downwards so it up shifts a little better. Grinding down the shift star OR purchasing a moded one (Jeff from FAST sells them) will also help lower your chances at hitting neutral and make shifting easier. Is there an email or website for Jeff from FAST???? Edited February 23, 2017 by grantevans713 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blowit Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Grant, you are right, the clutch is certainly something that should be inspected and usually over looked for shifting problems. If the clutch basket is grooved up, this will cause the friction plates to want to stay partially engaged when you pull the clutch and it never fully unloads the transmission. You might do some testing and if your bike has a tendency to creep forward when in gear, this is a strong indicator of clutch basket issues.

Scrubby Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 if its worn, you will see the grooves once you inspect it. some is ok, deep is when its time for replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantevans713 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 So to follow up on this so you all know. Put the modified shift star in from Jeff at FarmAndSandToys Put in Vitos performance clutch kit. Put in a new clutch basket. The bike no longer shifts to neutral randomly and grabs all the gears. However I do not feel anything when up shifting, I pull up and it goes, but I feel no resistance or click with my foot. I feel the slight resistance before I shift down, but up-shifting it just glides in. Should I get used to it? Is it normal? Is there anything wrong?

trickedcarbine Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Eccentric is adjusted? Internal spring is good on the shift shaft? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantevans713 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Yes and yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 You wouldn't happen to have the shift pro EZ spring and Detent roller would ya? I've found that the stock spring on the upgraded Detent arm and roller kit gives the best feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantevans713 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Both are stock, so upgrade detent arm and double check the eccentric? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 A Detent arm from Mull would be nice. But it sounds like you are looking for a positive feedback from the shifter and you aren't getting it. It should be a positive action, not limp feeling and usually that's solved with the right spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantevans713 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 All right that is the answer I was looking for, so you recommend a stock spring? What ewxactly is the part name that im ordering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickedCarbine01 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 All right that is the answer I was looking for, so you recommend a stock spring? What ewxactly is the part name that im ordering? That spring, pretty sure you can get them from FAST. It's called Detent Arm Spring. Pull the shift head and make sure the claw isn't toast as well. Jeff And Cody can get you a new Shift shaft modded and sent quick as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
