Finding Neutral


Recommended Posts

As a manufacture of shift stars and detent kits for the Banshee, we have received this question several times.  There are a few things that can cause this.  

1.  The shift shaft return spring pin may need adjusted to ensure the shift claw is centered about the shift star.  If the claw is touching one of the pins on the shift star, this can cause issues.  

2.  The clutch!  Many advocate adjusting the clutch, which is a good idea, but many times it is actually wear or damage to the clutch system.  If the clutch basket is notched or the steel drive plates are warped, this will cause the clutch to drag even with the lever all the way in.  The clutch MUST fully disengage power to the transmission to find neutral.  You would have to completely remove the clutch plates to inspect.  Usually bluing on the steel plates is evidence they have been overheated and likely warped.  Put them on the flat plate per the manual to check for warp.  

3.  Detent arm bind up a bit.  Our roller bearing kit helps in many cases so the shift drum will roll smoother to feel for neutral easier.
