    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.

So I have some high RPM slipping (6000-7000 RPM) while upshifting hard. I've read posts by a few (bwringer...etc) that say the plates never go bad, just replace OEM springs. I'm lazy and don't want to take the cover off just to find out how many springs I need... can anyone clue me in (I would guess 6)? Also does anybody have any tricks to the replacement process? The springs are part number 15 correct?

Six, and replace them one at a time.

Be VERY careful tightening them -- they strip out at .00001 foot-pound over the recommended torque.

And get the clutch cover gasket. You'll want that.

Thanks for the torque hints. Just to confirm the torque specs, my Clymer gives a torque of 8-9.5 ft/lb (anyone else have the same for a GS850GL?), so stay on the low end to be safe?? Also, one post I read said that you really don't need to drain the engin oil before removing the clutch cover (not much oil will come out).... is this true?
