For every Yamaha Banshee rider who demands maximum performance, reliability, and that unmistakable 2-stroke rumble, upgrading your clutch system is essential. Introducing the Yamaha Banshee Clutch Basket & Straight Cut Gears Complete Clutch System — a precision-engineered, battle-tested solution designed to elevate your ride beyond stock limits.

Why Upgrade Your Banshee’s Clutch System?

The Banshee’s legendary 347cc twin-cylinder, 2-stroke engine thrives on aggressive throttle response and torque delivery.
