    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1979 suzuki gs1000 clutch

if you can't adjust anymore, and the previously mentioned worm gear is correctly positioned, and the clutch and springs are within specs maybe the cable is stretched and/or broken somewhere.
 
all he has to do is add free play whether on the lever or on the engine case.
some cables even has adjustment in the middle of the cable.
this is not NASA type of work...hehehe
 
so if more free play is what's needed the original poster should turn one or both of the adjustment screws IN effectively making the cable longer so the lever has to be squeezed farther to make the clutch disengage. if that can't be done maybe he should loosen the engine clutch lever, lift it off and turn it in one notch.
