What would make my Banshee jump out of 2nd on hard acceleration ( climbing ), won't do it under normal condition's.

 

umm does it just act like its in neurtal when it happens

 

sounds like maybe your clutch is slipping.......

 

No, it goes directly to nuetral, all other gears are fine. I had it out earlier around home and I could not get it to do it. Maybe the shift fork is wearing?

 

DOES YOUR SHIFTER FEEL SLOPPY ?? ITS HARD TO TEAR UP A BANSHEE TRANNY....

 

yeah i havnt figured it out but that happens on my banshee every once in a while but it only happens when im going up hill running high rs and then i click the lever down and it goes back to the gear i shifted out of

 

go to banshee hq.com and ask... id like to know what it could be also.

 

2nd gear is almost always the first to go out on higher HP engines. Warn gear dogs will do that or it could also be a warn thrust washer or shift fork. Or maybe its the shift drum. The only way to really tell is to open it up and check it out. The Banshee/RZ motors were not known for having bad transmissions but Yamaha XS750s, XS850s, and XS1100s all blew out 2nd gear due to warn out gear dogs. The gear worked perfect after the dog teeth were cleaned up with a file.
