    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.

Clutch experts, advice needed please.

We love rehashing all subjects!

I don't have the 850 info at hand, but if you do check the clutch it may be worth giving all the plates a good clean, soak in engine oil then assemble. If the previous owner was not good on oil changes or used cheap oil it can gum up the plates a little, adding to the problem.
 
when checking your steel plate please dont lose sight of the fact(((at least on an 1100e)) that there is a steel disk that is held into the inner basket by a piece of what looks like a piano wire. I see many posts saying((again on the 1100 model)) that folks have done a complere change of clutch fibers and steels and give the count as 9 fibers and 8 steels.
Just blurting out a thought on clutches.
