Animalman294 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 If you have a stiff clutch, like a lock-up this would be pretty cool. I am curious to know how much it costs though............. :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase@miamiatv.com Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 i seen a new kit sell on ebay for 129... im kinda skeptical on how good it works, or how much of a rig it is ..... mite be cool but i dont use the clutch after first gear . just my 02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruko Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 I have a Magura on mine... they are very nice... soft and smooth.. but they are expensive. I put a Fly easy pull lever on my girlfriends Banshee for way less money, it seems to be almost as good, very soft pull as well. If I did it again I would just go with the easy pull.

The lockup will make it so you don't have to run stiff ass springs and will definately not make it pull hader. I run Toomey springs now(all 6) and it straight up sucks. First couple times I rode it my hand would uncontrollably contract(cramp up) from pulling on the damn thing all day. I am at the point where I need to invest in either a lockup or a hydraulic clutch.

EastCoast Banshee Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 They suck big time. Save your money Thats a rather bold statement buddy! My friend got a KTM a year or so ago and they come standard with a hydraulic clutch. For the short time i got to ride it i was in love. Shit i think i could shift with my pinky figer all day and not get tired. Maybe you just had a bad one or it could just be personal preferance. Best thing i can say to do is find someone with a hydraulic clutch and try it out for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were good the word would of got out everybody would have one. They mite work good for other bikes but not for the banshee. It's the way the clutch slave sit's on the top of the cases. It moves all over the place. Which renders the feel of the clutch. I installed it uesd it for one day took it off sold it on e-bay. This all happen back in 1998.They still make them the same way Edited July 8, 2006 by lonestar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all happen back in 1998.They still make them the same way I have one on my banshee and I love it! the slave cylinder doesn't move all around at all. I run HD springs in my clutch and it's still buttery smooth and easy to pull. Don't know if there are other brands out there, but I run the Magura. I whole heartedly recommend it and I'm going to put one on my sons Raptor soon. FYI. If you get one though, make sure to get a "bleed kit" for it.. it'll save you some hassle. I just went from the plastic line to the braided stainless steel line and used the bleed kit and had it installed in like 10 minutes.
