spoin39 Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 The cushions (O-rings on clutch) are supposed to keep the clutch from chattering but you don't need them. I have never used them and haven't heard anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 I'm SO glad you asked this question...I was planning on changing out my clutch tomorrow and was worried about those O-rings, half of them were cracked and broken and I didn't want to have to use them. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oilsmoke Posted December 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 I just remove them and added 3 toomey HD springs. I useing a short level But i am going to need a Long one.

sand rocket Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 K&T performance told me that they were not necessary, even with the stock clutch. But know that some on said somthing about clutch chater, Im wondering if that is the same rattle that im hearing that is driving me insane!! It only at idle though, and if it is in "N".

river runner Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 I just installed the tusk and left the cushions in and havn't had any problems. I figure they are there for a reason might as well use them. No strange noises coming from my bike. Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oilsmoke Posted December 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 Like Sandrocket said. Kim Muchmore told me removes the cushions because they can hang and make the Shee slip, Add 3 toomey springs and if it still slips get the toomey clutch.

spoin39 Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 If those heavy duty springs are too much you can increase the tension by putting a washer between the bolt and stock spring, adds a little more but doesn't hurt the hand as much.

Meat Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 I useing a short lever But i am going to need a Long one. It's Stiffer than a 17 year old his first time. Oily, get yerself one of them EZ-pull clutch levers. They work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oilsmoke Posted December 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Spoin Good idea I never thought about that on the clutch. I used that on my popoff value to increase Boost presure. But with the washer Coil bind does come sooner and you will lose some presure plate travel. I'll look at it if need something else for the clutch. Meat Where is this EZ level? Could you post a Url?

Wassup350 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Im wondering if that is the same rattle that im hearing that is driving me insane!! It only at idle though, and if it is in "N". Check your kick starter i bet it's that. tons of banshee owners including myself have this problem and its a pain in the ass. My kicker is grinding my clutch cover pretty good lol.
