    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...

    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 cant get the clutch pull on my gs650e to be easy like on the gs1000 i can pull it with 2 fingers on my gs650e it takes 4 fingers and its still hard,the cable was froze up but i lubed it and freed it up,im wondering if i have it back on correctly how is the lil arm that sits on top of the engine suppose to be postioned when the clutch isnt applied?
 
It should be at 9 o'clock.
Is this a new problem, or has it always been hard to pull in?
 
I never rode the bike i just got it a few weeks ago and have been working on it,according to the previous owner theres no problems with it.


when u say it should be at 9 oclock would that be if i was sitting on the bike looking down at it?
 
It should be facing towards the rear of the bike, like in this pic:

If it is in the right position, it could be that there are heavy duty springs installed on the clutch basket. I have HD springs, and I need to use 4 fingers to pull it in.
 
In looking at a schematic, yours might be just the opposite... facing forward?:oops: But either way, the arm should be roughly parallel with the bike.
 
Even though you say you just lubed the cable, it could be frayed internally, causing a bit of drag. For a few bucks, just replace the cable, and I am sure you will enjoy the results.

I have the arm back on correctly,the cable dosent seem to drag when ya pull it just seems a bit tough im gonna completly remove it from the bike and soak it then try it after that if its still really hard maybe ill get another cable.
