    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...

Hi all,

Been chasing a new starter clutch for a 1980 GS1000G for 6mths with no luck, has anyone had any success repairing a crack like this? or has anyone tried having the inside of a 850 one machined to fit?

Cheers and hopefully someone can solve this for me, LOL:confused:
 
The only ones I was able to find were ones still attached to the cranks. Alot of extra expense for shipping to be able to get the part you need. I did repair mine and the write up is in the "Engines, starter, and clutch section. On mine the pins and plugs had pushed through the outside formed sheet metal. I made up new plugs and had them welded in place with a tab of material welded over top of the holes for extra strength. I am a machinist by trade in the aerospace industry and our welders can usually weld up any thing you give them. The welder who repaired my said the plugs welded in nicely, but I can't ask him about the welds because he just retired last Friday. It is a hardened material and can be welded. See my posting about the new " Dogs" being .030" bigger in diameter before trying to install them.
