the clutch on my SHee is a bit stiff..

is there a way i could make it easier to pull without buying a $200 hydraulic clutch??

any help would be awsome

 

anyone??

 

What kinda of tranny oil are you using?

Do you lubricate your clutch cable?

How do you have your clutch adjusted? (does it actuate all the out or closer to the grip)

Stock clutch lever?

 

stock clutch lever...
its prettey far from the grip,
i dont know on the tranny oil..
i got the quad on monday so should i lubricate the clutch cable??
just with like wd-40 or somehting??

 

Put your middle and pointer finger on the clutch lever, put your ring and pinky on the grip. Then when you let off the clutch as soon as its not touching your fingers it should grab. Less movement = less effort. Also WD-40 might work to lube the cable but i would buy silicon spray its like 3 bucks and will last ALOT longer than WD-40, it soaks into the metal. Hope this helps, get back with me and let me know if it does.


P.S. I would change your oil in the tranny since you just got it and dont know how long its been. Either one of these are great in banshee's. Make sure you use motorcycle oil and make sure it doesnt have friction modifires in it, theyll make your clutch slip. It takes just under 2 quarts to fill it, just use the dipstick.

i lubed it with some silicone oil i bought ..

it work for a couple of hours then it became stiff again..but i can live with it unless one of those $30 vito's EZ levers will do the trick!

is the stock clutch lever adjustabe?..if so where do i adjust it from? i know this may sound stupid but i didnt get the manual with it...

THanks a lot for all the help JLsparky

 

oh one more thing..i didnt actually remove the lever when i lubed it .. was i supposed to??

i just kinda lubed that one nut that holds it on, then i pulled the clutch in and sprayed into the opening...am i doing it all wrong???

 

Here's a few things that can help. First, replace that stock clutch cable with a Motion Pro Terminator, they work smoother, easier, and last longer, your stock one is probably pretty worn out. Also, dump that stock perch and lever, and get an aftermarket setup with a lever that has either a brass bushing, or better yet, a bearing on the pivot point. Just those 2 things made the clutch pull on my warrior butter smooth, and I can easily ride all day just pulling it in with 2 fingers. Maybe $50-80 for new parts, definitely worth it. Plus the new perch and lever will look better and make your bars less cluttered. You will lose use of your parking brake, but they're more trouble than they're worth anyways, and it's better off in the garbage than on your machine.

Here's a few pics of my clutch perch, if you want to see what i'm talking about.

I actually purchased a tusk clutch from Rocky mountain atv for like 50 including the new gasket. it is working great easier to pull than ever before. i put about 80 buxs in a new clutch including a new cable.
