Elka Banshee Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 When I start my banshee after it has been sitting for a while the clutch feels like it isn't engaging all the way. The banshee will actually creep along when I first start it up. When the banshee warms up it has no problem at all tho. Any idea? And i did just have it rebuilt with all parts being stock and DP plates i think. Maybe just an adjustment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I say it is out of adjustment. The quickest way to tell is to look on the case where the clutch cable is connected...make sure the arrow on the case is lined up with it. If you have a clymer's manual it has detailed pics of what to look for...Your clutch may not be bad; when the friction disks wear down the pressure plate has to move more to completely engage, therefore an adjustment needs to be made to "tighten things up" for lack of better terms. You can always adjust your clutch at the lever but I wouldn't mess with that unless the the arrows don't match up on the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixitrod Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 The oil thins out when it warms up. Less friction, less creeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elka Banshee Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 It's funny. I didn't have a single problem with it but it was getting close to replaceing plates so I decided to have it changed and now it acts crazy when i start it up. Just don't change anything and you are alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
