My neighbor just dug his 99' banshee out of his shed. Its been stuck in 5th gear since before he parked it. what would be the cause of this?

[exentix]

which of our neighbors has a shee?!  lol

i have no idea what would cause that?

[1badazz_700r]

the neighbor with the little hellian named zack

My guess... Shift fork broke or clutch broke maybe?

[1badazz_700r]

He said it has a brand new clutch in it. Some sort of lock up from yamaha he said. it cost him almost $700.00 Im not sure what type it is though

[Peelz]

something in a bind. Can you run it with clutch in?

and, does the shift lever move at all, or completely stuck?

[Alkire193]

Throw the old clutch back on, if its not a bad install on the new clutch then id say shifter fork, maybe a shift shaft?

[Peelz]

If it doesn't move at all, it is just stuck on the shaft, prob not broken. If it moves alot, broken.

can you get it to move in 5th? LIke pushing it then trying to run it full speed?
or just runs with clutch in?

[1badazz_700r]

It runs and drives in 5th gear, he had it runnin and rode it for awhile with this new clutch in. then all of a sudden it just stuck in 5th

On the banshee's you have 2 make sure you have the absolute correct amount of oil in the cases. The gears sit up pretty high off the bottom.  What has happened is the gear has welded its self to the shaft and is stuck.

No Im the guy with the roost about 10 feet higher than the other 2 bikes to the left

[speed demon]

Have you found the problem with the banshee??

[1badazz_700r]

I havent seen the guy. I assume he hasnt done anything.  maybe i can pick it up cheap if he dont want to mess with it  cause its in really nice shape. Im not a fan of banshee's but forthe right price i could be

[speed demon]
