I have a 1987 warrior and i am not great at wrenchin but i try, When i hold in the clutch and rev the engine and drop it for a wheelie or to sling mud it seems to just slowly take off. Out on a trail or any other time it runs great screamin right along. If it is my clutch , is there an adjustment or do i need a new one? any ideas would be appreciated. thanx

 

You probably need new clutch plates. They are about $90 for the whole kit and you may need a clutch cover gasket.

 

Thanks for the info politically incorrect . i may just do that.

 

You can get some gasket remover from Autozone if your original gasket gets torn when you pull the clutch cover off. That stuff works wonders. Without it, you will be scraping the old gasket for days to get it off. With the spray-on remover it only takes about 15 minutes.

 

Thanks for the tip raptor.

 

there are some cheaper clutch rebuild kits around. i paid 90 bux for mine and didnt take time to research. found a bunch on ebay for about 60 and motosport.com for around the same. turned out my pressure plate was bad. that took another week to get on ebay. your gonna want some power tools to get rid of the big bolt that holds down the clutch and springs and what not. that thing was such a bitch to get out

 

Right on thanks for the tip sounds like i may need to bust out the air ratchet. I also tightened my chain which gave me a little better response on the throttle.

 

just make sure when you tighten your chain to get someone to sit on your bike while you adjust it, i personaly like to use OEM and EBC clutches

 

Thanks for the tip 91 warrior, i did have some one sit on it and that worked fine but im not 100% sure that i got my axle straight after tightening my chain, i tried measuring with a tape but it didnt work so well. ideas? also what year banshee are you looking for?

 

doesnt really matter id rather not get a j arm but like a late 90's would be nice, yea when i adjst mine as long as the sprocket is straight and the adjusters were in about the same length i went ahead and tightened it up.
