    Is your hub stripped?

      If it's been sitting go out and ride it awhile, get the clutch warm and see what happens. Maybe the plates swelled a little during their hiatus.

        Nothing stripped or loose that I can tell. I'll pull the clutch again and check each plate for thickness and warpage spec. Haven't fired her up since purchased since I'm waiting on some gaskets to arrive.

        How many clutch plates should I have for a stock 1980 GS1000G clutch?

        1980 GS1000GT (Daily rider with a 1983 1100G engine)
        1998 Honda ST1100 (Daily long distance rider)
        1982 GS850GLZ (Daily rider when the weather is crap)

        Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

          I think I'd ignore this symptom then.. but running, it may well be OK..you may just have done needless work??
          just my 2 cents here.....
