Hilarious Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 well I went to cascade (only 30min from my house) And told the guys there what I thought my problem was so they fired up a couple of their bikes and after looking a them I realized that between the center adjuster looking a little off and the fingers on the lockout spinning it was all an optical illusion on my part. Thanks for the insight though :biggrin: An optical illusion? :baseball_shocked: You're kiddin me right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUB Posted September 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 An optical illusion? :baseball_shocked: You're kiddin me right? well put it this way....im a machinist and welder for a living. Im not used to the loose tolerances such as the several that are involved with a banshee. Awsome bikes but poorly built if you ask me. The center nut/stud combo is NOT exactly in the center of the clutch assembley so that was NOT an illusion. But when you get that spinning really fast your eye wants to automaticly focus in the center. It just looked to me that it was the whole thing not just the center adjuster. this was the first time Ive ever seen one up close and running. I guess ive should of known better than to think that everything should be absolutly perfect! Are you kidding for asking me if im kidding you? why would I be kidding you? Is what I said sound completly out of this world? Ive owned my Banshee for about 7 years now and Ive learned alot about it but this one had me stumped. And after looking at other bikes I guess mine is just as true as theirs or should I say theirs is just as UN-true as mine? Anyway hilarious thanks for asking Im glad people like you are out there to help people like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I was really curious about your issue because I have just run into the same thing. And my situation doesnt look like an optical illusion at all. :tongue: I havent taken mine apart yet. I was just wondering mainly if the wobble at idle should raise concern. Mine wobbles only at idle but clears up after idle. No vibration, no noise or anything and so far the clutch works flawlessly. I even talked to the direct drive people and they told me that if theres no vibration or noise that it would be ok to run. Anyway, im gonna tear it down this weekend and re-torque the pressure plate one more gin, and if its still got a wobble im just gonna run it. Thanks DUB! :baseball_original: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the washer right behind the nut is to big (not the right one, maybe it doesnt even belong there) and its off center of the stud.
