81' GS750E Clutch Ring Stopper Necessary?

Dang arc88, we may be akin to one another, I'm also still puzzled about this thing, but also do always put one in there.

I know it's illogical, but I have the irrational fear if I didn't put a new one back in, the bike would explode haha!

Having purchased my bike new, and having been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned (except for the horrid charging system, which was easily fixed), I like to keep all the parts that came out go back in.

Wow thanks! Where did you find this diagram? This is actually helpful for the rings installation.

It's out of a GS/GSX factory manual. These is a pdf zip file resource (possibly from Basscliff?) somewhere on this site, that contains a swag of factory manuals. I do think the purpose of the spring and plate assembly's is to reduce clutch grabbiness. The piano wire holds it together and limits the travel of the plate it captures.

That's what my research turned up also.

I've not found that anywhere in the research I've done. Nothing about anything it was supposed to do, or how, or why, or if left out what would, or could, happen, if left out. Nothing about more grabby or less grabby. Only thing I've found was put that little wire back in when reinstalling.
