    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.

hi guys i have a metal on metal noise.it seems to be coming from the clutch area.its definitly gets louder with rpms.the clutch plates are new,and there seems to be light scuff marks on the outer edges of them.could the basket be the culprit? maybe not letting themrelease as they should?any ideas would greatly appreciated thanks.[-o<
 
The stock clutch hub nut threads could be stretched out if the nut is stock. Try an APE heavy duty nut for $15.
 
Put your bike on your side stand and take off your clutch cover. You don't have to drain your oil.
You might need an air or electric power tool to get the nut off the clutch hub. (unless it's stretched like previously mentioned then it should come right off) Take a look at the back of the clutch hub where the main driven gear is. These hubs have a tendency of spinning out the springs and the rivets deteriorating. If the clutch hub and gear themselves are ok send them to Ape, Vance and Hines or Falicon to get it redone. They weld it up tight with new springs and backing plate.
 
thalreadyanks guys,i already tried a new nut. not a heavy duty one but a new one. the clutch rivets are really tight and the springs seem fine.thanks for the ideas. i did notice what appears to be some wear marks on the inside of the basket,where the disks ride.
