    clutch plate recommendations

    I'm new at this site, but found it to be great source of infomation. Ok I have a 81 GS650G (shaft) that has had a miss adjusted clutch cable from the person I bought it from. I got that adjusted properly. Now I am looking at replacing the clutch plates. What are the best plates to use? Wes. or Bar. or OEM?

      The simple anwer is OEM, you just can't go wrong with "OEM," anything else you'll be wondering about the quality, compatibility, etc.

          If your clutch is slipping it's most likely the springs, not the plates. Usually they don't wear much for most riders.

            no the clutch is not slipping. it was hard to shift and would not go into neutral from 1st when running. so I adjusted the clutch cable and solved most of that problem. but took the clutch cover off when changing the oil and noticed the clutch plates looked fuzzy around the edges and fibers in the oil. Thinking the last plates put in aren't the best.
