    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.

I did a search for this and couldnt find anything.
I know the manual says normal is 2.9-3.1mm, but does anyone know what an actual stock new clutch fiber measures? I got a screaming deal on a set of plates off Ebay and they measure ~2.95mm. I cant remember what the old plates in the bike measure at.
TIA
I can post a link to the sale if anybody wants.
 
what is more important than the thickness is...
they need to be pliable..
charred plates can be up to spec and still slip like hell.
charred as in hard as a rock.
you have to put a ton of spring pressure to keep these from slipping.

Being new, unused plates I dont think they could be charred? What do you mean by charred? As in glazed over??
 
i'll go out on a limb here just to add a little info..
80-86 1000/1100/1150 shaft and chain models all take/have the same fibers/clutch packs except for the 831100E/ES.
but the 83 will except the same clutch packs as mentioned above.
this is one of the reasons i owned/raced/built/enjoyed GS models.
awesome interchange!
