patarol Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) Hi Banshee friends, i`m new to this forum but have found many answers on things i wondered about! Love the the forum! I`m from Norway and her it is not many shee riders but i love this bike and have had 2 of them. this last one i did som work on as you can see on the mods list below. it runs realy great but the clutch starts sliping so i was wondering is the ATF oil better for the clutch grip? dident find any answers on this, but see som of you guys run ATF why? Sorry my bad english writing. Edited August 29, 2007 by patarol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Running ATF is all personal preforance. You will see that many guys that run override transmittions run ATF. The good thing about it is that it is pretty cheap and you can get it at any auto shop. You can also run tranny oil. I ran Gearsaver 80w for ever but i am switching to AFT now that i went to an override. there are a ton of differant oils just do a little research and decided which is for u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satsol67 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 If your clutch is slipping good chance its the clutch bands that are worn not the oil. The bands are cheap I think I paid 40 bucks at rmatv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satsol67 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) Then maybe the springs are. Might need the stronger springs. Try the ATF and if it is still slipping then its something else. I dont know if the ATF makes the clutch grab better ( which I doubt) I also used the bel-ray 80 in mine. The reason I said about the bands is because mine did the samething. It was fine until I got into 5th or 6th and went WOT then it would slip like crazy. I replace the metal plates and fibers and never had a problem again. Its not like your mods are that extreme. Now if you had a drag port or something like that then I could see going to an over ride.

Coupelx Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 i run mobil 1 full seynthetic 80w in mine. i dunno how its 80w as its like water, shits even clear too. IT works awesome though, i can actually find neutral, something that ive always had a bit of trouble with on my yamahas. The shifting is soo much nicer. Next time i change it im gonna try synthetic ATF and see how that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
