Ynotsmith69 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 My engine is mostly new I sent it to Herr juggs over a year ago rode it a few times and it’s sat since then.. when I got it back going I noticed when I down shift while holding the clutch at a higher rate of speed I hear metal grinding or something until I’m at low first gear speeds. It runs excellent for now and shift through all gears. I think it could be the shift shaft or the shift star but I’m not sure . The engine has new 4mil long rod crank Athena cylinders wiesco pistons noss performance head dune 1-5 neutral on bottom new heavy duty clutch and lock out kit .

Ayesully810 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Bet if you pull the clutch cover and look behind the basket you will be able to see if anything is out of place Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynotsmith69 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Also if it is the shift shaft and or Star would I be able to change it with out splitting the case Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesully810 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Shift shaft yes that just slides out of the case once you remove the clutch basket. The star yes as well don’t need to split the case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynotsmith69 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Thanks... unfortunately I just changed the oil luckily I have the clear case so I can see right in I was also thinking something happened with my lockout kit last time I rode it and this first happened it looked like my lockout kit was loose or something and I didn’t install it so I don’t know how it’s suppose to look on it. I’m gonna post a picture Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesully810 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 removing the clutch cover and basket is your best bet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 If its grinding you'll wanna change the oil again.If you're that hard up on oil, lay the bike over and balance it from the bars on a tire or bench, and pull the cover and start pulling shit off.If you're hard up for oil, you'll never wanna hear about the cover gasket. If you're that hard up for oil you shouldn't own a bangshee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol truth here Also I only replace my cover gasket if it somehow got ripped apart while disassembling Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keno Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I bought a 10 pack of clutch cover gaskets from mattoon. Cheapest way to do it. Works out to 5.90 per gasket. You'll need them eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynotsmith69 Posted November 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I’m not hard up for oil it’s just a bummer to drain new oil but it’s all good I’ll see what’s up in the following days and post my findings hope for simple but if it’s bad atleast I get an excuse to stay in the garage lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynotsmith69 Posted November 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Anyone got a picture of what the lockout kit should look like installed ... I feel like the arms on mine got loose and slapped the glass last time I rode it... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesully810 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) You won’t know unless you take the cover off!!! Just drain the oil into a couple bottles and re use it. I’ve done it many times. Same with coolant I re use that crap all the time. If your arms were hitting the cover I’m pressure sure you would have some marks on the inside of it Edited November 7, 2018 by Ayesully810 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Lock out arms are supposed to be “loose”. Pull the bitch apart and then ask question if needed. If your clutch basket is worn bad it will chatter and that maybe the noise you hear. It has nothing to do with your shift shaft or shift star. Something else is going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZillaFreak Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Stop using the clutch, should stop the grinding noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynotsmith69 Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Zilla are you saying to downshift with no clutch ?? I’ll ride her down the street and try that then pull the cover and look anyways . And thanks to all for input I appreciate it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
