    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.

1982 GS650G Clutch Case Removal

That is most certainly the ugliest one I have ever seen, but replacing the bearing and seal is easier and cheaper than replacing the entire cover.

Ha! I got a cover with everything- clutch arm, spindle assembly, oil cap- for $15 delivered- cover was prettier than mine, but I don't intend to spoil my bike's haggard looks!
 
Yeah this all stemmed from needing to replace the clutch. This case is is pretty good shape so i am glad that i opted for new bearings and seal.

Are you still looking to refurbish your clutch? What's the issue prompting you to do so?

Hopefully when you replace the seal & bearing in the cover, the clutch problem will be solved?
 
The plates are smoked. After pulling it all apart i do not think that the bearing was allowing the spline to completely disengage the clutch which in turn burnt up the plates...to almost nothing. I already have new plates and I am going to replace the springs while i am in there.

Gotcha, inspect the basket good too - look for cracks & deep gouges.

You talkin' about the steel plates? Or the fibers? Or both?

OEM steels are relatively inexpensive, and OEM springs are recommended as well.

OEM fibers are pricey, aftermarket work well:
