Default banshee clutch

I have a stock 99 banshee. The clutch lever is really hard to pull. It works fine but is just a lot harder than any other quad I have ridden. Is this the same on all banshees?

Nope, but make sure there isn’t a rock stuck anywhere, lol my friend got a rock stuck in some component of his carb, not inside but stuck between 2 parts. Choke couldn’t move and it wouldn’t even turn over. So just goes to show ya what a rock can do. and Did u buy the banshee used?

It could be one of two things or both I suppose. One it could be your cable they get rusty if you go through a lot of water. They do sell cable lubers but I have never used one I would rather just replace. Second it could be your clutch lever getting rusty I replaced the stock one with a Applied Racing Ball Bearing Clutch Lever and never had a problem. You could just spray some WD-40 on the Lever and that will probably fix the lever.

Good Luck

Thanks for the info. I was just wondering, on your banshees or ones you have ridden is the clutch as easy to pull as a yfz450, raptor, or blaster?

I think if you went to the dealer and grabbed a bunch of clutches on multiple machines you wouls fell close to the same. but it is tough to say after it goes off the lot good amount of water down the clutch cable will bind it up.

a new clutch cable will work wonders. Forget the lube, a new cables only like 12.50
