I had it cranked and in neutral when I was backing it off the trailer. The trailer came up and popped the frame, but not real hard, then all the sudden it was in gear and went dead. I cranked it back up in neutral, but only to find out I had no clutch. I could see it pulling on top of the motor so it wasn't an external problem. Anyway, I eventually cranked it back up in neutral jumped on it a few times and the clutch was working again. I rode it for a good while after that without it acting up. Any clues?

"I cranked it back up in neutral, but only to find out I had no clutch" how can you tell if your clutch is working if you are in neutral??! I know that banshees and blasters have a wet clutch, so if they are not warmed up the clutch will slip, like if you try to start it in gear when it is cold, it will catch, but if you do it when it is warm it will not.

I mean when I held the clutch and put it in first it jerked off and went dead like I wasn't even holding it. Thanks for the info, it wasn't warm at all when I backed it off, that might explain why it ran fine after it warmed up.

It does it from time to time, but nothing serious apparently.
