    Carb-airbox boots won't stay on?

    That's good. Probably not possible to get it perfect but the boots give a little margin for error. If it's not leaking then it sounds like you're good to go.

    Clutch replacement - drive plates only?

    No paid full price, I first tried Rotella but the clutch wouldn't disengage at all even when warm so switched to this stuff because I had people saying to use motorcycle specific oil lol. I saved the Rotella so after I do the new clutch I could try that again if the people here think the...

    Clutch replacement - drive plates only?

    Doesn't hurt to check it I guess, hopefully I can find the right gasket

    Clutch replacement - drive plates only?

    Yeah I'm finding a lot of the friction plates but no oem metal plates so I was hoping there'd be a consensus on a good aftermarket metal plate...

    Clutch replacement - drive plates only?

    Well my friction plates are within spec and actually at the high end, but the metal plates are slightly warped so I'm assuming that's what's causing the slipping and there shouldn't be any shredded stuff in the pickup?

    Clutch replacement - drive plates only?

    I'm current using the valvoline blue bottle stuff is that not a good choice?

    Clutch replacement - drive plates only?

    So the clutch in my 82 750t has begun slipping a bit, only at high rpms under full throttle. As well as dragging quite a bit when cold to the point where the bike will stall if I try to put it in gear without letting it idle for at least 5-10 minutes, depending on how cold it is outside. I...

    Carb-airbox boots won't stay on?

    Did you let the box cool completely before checking it for straightness? I had to do it a few times and stack more washers until that front wall of the air box was actually bowed out a bit. Then after it cooled it was straight despite looking convex while heating it with the stack of washers...

    Carb-airbox boots won't stay on?

    If yours is bowed in as bad as mine was, all the finagaling in the world won't work and I wouldn't trust them not to slip off later as the box is trying to pull the boots off constantly. 100% agree about the grease, no need for it if everything lines up correctly and the rubber can't grip the...

    Carb-airbox boots won't stay on?

    If the airbox is warped like mine was there's no point in even trying to install the boots, you'll just drive yourself crazy and even if you get them all on they'll eventually pull off again. Fix the airbox like I outlined in the 1st post and everything will fit together easy like it should

    Windshield/flyscreen recommendation?

    I'll have to look into givi

    Windshield/flyscreen recommendation?

    Ok gotcha, my only point of reference is the massive Windjammer that was on this bike when I bought it. With that thing I was totally shielded from the wind but god that was a massive beast. Made the bike handle like topheavy crap too. But I got used to the handlebars moving independently of the...

    Windshield/flyscreen recommendation?

    Awesome thanks! That's a very different mount than a lot of the ones I was looking it, looks much more solid. About where does the wind hit you at highway speeds with it on? Without anything I got very fatigued on just an hour highway ride and took my phone out of the holder because it felt like...

    Windshield/flyscreen recommendation?

    Hmmm ok, I was thinking I'd have to go bigger but maybe that would be enough.

    Windshield/flyscreen recommendation?

    I actually like that one a lot, reminds of some of the older Hondas. It looks like that just mounts in to places to the headlight bracket, correct me if I'm wrong. Does that seem solid enough to you? The last thing I'd want is that thing ripping off on the interstate and smacking me in the face...

    Windshield/flyscreen recommendation?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for an aftermarket windshield for an 82 gs750t? I'd like it to be something on the smaller side, not too big just big enough to keep the wind off me mainly. I'd prefer it be something that could be easily removed as I'd only really need it when I take the bike...

    Will prime work with reserve fuel level?

    Great thanks!!!!

    Will prime work with reserve fuel level?

    So I'm curious if the prime setting will also work when the fuel level is too low for the on position, and only the reserve position works? On an 82 750
