hi you can pull my cluch handel in and it move the leaver down on the top of the case but doesnt disengage the rear wheels , what could this be ? I guess Sunday shes getting takin apart....only have ridin it a mile [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img].....and it will move forward through all gears but it just wont disengage, thanks TBGUY250

 

Kinda sounds like your ajuster locknut on your pressure plate may have come loose.... Thats what holds the clucth release lever in place inside the crank case... You will need to remove the clutch cover in order to check it....

 

I am assuming the bike in question is a Banshee..........

 

yeah it is the banshee , so all i need to do it pull the cover and look for fallen parts ?

 

or just tighen up the big nut holding it all down , should i tighten it down w/ my impact gun ?

 

Well not exactly... When you remove the Clutch release lever on the crank case,you must first loosen the ajuster nut and turn the ajuster screw out only 1-2 turns.... Thats about all it has to be loose for your clutch to not work right.... You do have to remove the clutch cover to check this.... So if you see any bolts from your pressure plate loose or out this could be the problem as well.... Sound like your going to be turning some wrenches.....

 

so all i have to do it look for loose bolts and tighten them, should i snug them or wrench them down ?

 

The adjuster nut I'm talking about is in the center of the pressure plate... With the phillips stud in the center...

 

ok how big is this nut , its not the big one that holds all of the plates in is it ?

 

The bolts on the pressure plate should be snug... But the locknut mechanism in the center is for adjusting free play in the clutch, when the adjustment at the bar's is all the way out
