    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 Fiber discs?

Is there a particular brand of fiber clutch discs that anyone would recomend over the stock Suzuki? . The bike will be ridden aggressively and drag raced in street bike class.
 
As far as I can tell, the OEM fiber plates are going to be your best bet. Most all the hi-performance guys will recommend them here. Seems the aftermarket kits invariably have an extra disc, necessitating a reduction in thickness, which in turn enables the discs themselves to cut into the part of the clutch assembly. Seems the weak links in the GS clutch system are the hub nut itself, and the clutch hub basket backing plate. The nut is soft and the threads deform, causing all sorts of ruckus. The hub basket's springs get loose in the backing plate (especially in drag race/high rpm use), necessitating a rebuild. OEM clutch springs (pressure plate) also get soft, and need replacing. I'm sure others will chime in with other things I forgot.
 
FBG or stock.

I've used both FBG and stock in my drag bike, they both work fine...
However, I did try the FBGs in my street bike and they caused some issues in stop and go, hot weather riding...

Just something to keep in mind if you are planning on using the bike on the street a lot.
