    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.

1983 GS650E clutch gearshift questions

Hi all, I'm a newbie here, first post and all :)

I finally got my GS650E running 2 weeks ago. It's been a work in progress since I bought it as an unfinished cafe racer last year and that was my first mistake buying someone else's problems.

Anyway, been getting wiring, motobatt, frame, seat pan, fresh oil, etc done so can get it rideable and legal (original battery was just sitting on the swing arm as the frame had all the mounting tabs angle grinded off and the wiring was a bird's nest and there was no seat :D).

So got one ride in 2 weekends ago, seemed to go well. Hadn't been started since January (6 months ago). Needed a new tyre so got that done during week and was on my way to get a warrant of fitness when I found I only had second gear and neutral. Had to ride home in second gear, thankfully wasn't far.

So drained oil, removed right side engine cover, and I can see what the issue is. The drive pin holder is screwed to pieces which must of been done by the cam no.1 stopper rubbing on it. Hopefully nothing else is destroyed, the clutch plates all look fine.

So the questions are is the drive pin holder and the cam no.1 stopper a universal part for several GS engines or do I need these specific parts for my GS650E?

Thanks for your advice, Ian

Below is a photo of what is left of the drive pin holder :(
