Hello everyone, last repair before I take the carbs apart and clean I got the clutch discs so I wanted to replace them (remember the Buzz or the vibration I was trying to describe)? I thought it was coming from the clutch so this is what I found; before loosening anything I went and wiggled the center, with the pressure plate it moved, felt very loose, I took the pressure plate off, I wiggled the clutch center, it felt loose although the center nut was tight, I took it apart, I checked the main driven gear, it was tight, I checked the sleeve and the pin bearing they were nice thight fit. there were deep scares where the disc claws move in the clutch drum. The question is;-how much sanding or filing I can do in the drum to get rid of the scares.-can I use a shim to get rid of the loose clutch center. finally, does a clutch drum and clutch center and pressure plate from 1980 gs 1000g fits the 86 gs 1150e?

Do you mean the basket, Shaunt? Or the hub? The outside surface of the hub gets worn by the constant force of the clutch plates. The basket itself shouldn't see much wear, as it's only the fibers that are making contact there. Neither the hub or the basket should have much movement unless the bearings are shot or the splines in the hub are worn out.

Hi Jeff, the scares are located in the drum, where the clutch disc's crow claws fit.

I have an '86 1150 as well and I've found out that there has to be .003-.006 thousandths clearance between the hub and the drum. You can buy shims from a Suzuki dealer to get the clearance right. The bearing on the shaft that supports the drum and the sleeve can be tight on the shaft but there will still be movement of the drum and the hub. This is normal apparently, unless it's really,really loose. But in your case, how loose is loose?
