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...

750 Clutch Upgrade?

I think the clutch on my '80 GS750 is going on me. I tried adjusting it and it got a little better but still slips at high rpms. I was wondering if there is a quick and easy upgrade. Are there any parts from other bikes that would serve as an upgrade? If not, what are my options on upgrades? :-?

I have a pipe, pods, and a jet kit if that makes any difference. After I finished these upgrades is when I noticed the slipping.

Thanks for the help :-)
 
Get some Barnett HD clutch springs and run 3 of those with 3 new stock.
Also check your specs on the fibers and steels.
 
My opinion is that the stock gs clutch is capable of taking much more power than a basically stock 750 is ever likely to put out so any sort of upgrade is pointless & 9 times out of 10 wont last as long as the stock parts

So ....... fit new well soaked OE friction plates, (steels & springs if needed), check the basket for wear & enjoy many more thousands of miles of riding without ever having to worry about it again :D
 
Thanks

Thanks

Ok sounds good, I'll see what my stock one looks like and go from there. Thanks for the help guys!
