    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Baaaahhh. What is happening

Ok so the other day i went for a drive.
on my1982 gs1100 and. I would give it gas and it would be revving but not getting power to the wheel then all of a sudden it would. Jump in rpms and shoot off then. I got home and now when i put it in gear and release the clutch it lurches forward and tried for 3 hours and it doesnt matter how little. Or much gas or how slowly i release the clutch it lurches
 
My Best Guess is your clutch is slipping, badly.
New Cable is a good idea, but probably going to need new clutch springs, new clutch drive plates and, maybe steel driven plates (but not likely) as well. You'll know more once you get the clutch cover off. With the bike on the side stand, you shouldn't lose any oil, but you are most definitely going to need a new gasket. I'd go with OEM for all. Post pics of you clutch plates when you get them out.

On the other hand, it's been said that the use of an engine oil that not MA rated could cause the plates to slip under load instead of grabbing like they should.
