    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 Hub Spring Washer

My '84 GS750EF did not have the clutch hub spring washer (and associated clip and spring seat) installed behind the plates. It appears that some additional plates where added to compensate for the lack of the spring washer.

My Suzuki dealer could not get the spring washer plate (part is no longer stocked). He mentioned that removal of the spring washer (and associated parts) and installing additional plates was very common practice as a performance modification (which my bike apparently had). This was likely the reason way the spacer is no longer stocked.

Should I try and find a spring washer and re-install it?
 
I tried to find your bike in an American microfiche and I guess the 750 wasn't imported into the US.
Are you having a problem with the current clutch set up? I have heard and practiced losing the piano wire. This is not needed.
 
Clutch was dragging and starting to "chatter" when engaging clutch. Found the friction plates to be 0.3 mm (0.011") below the service limit and some plates distorted beyond limit. Until recently the clutch seemed to be working fine.

When I pulled the clutch apart I found an extra friction and steel plate installed and the "spring" washer and associate clip and seat washer removed...
 
Compare the part numbers to a 83 1100E. I have an entire clutch hub with the parts you need.
 
if he doesnt happen to see this thread send a pm to rapidray, i bet he'll know, he's into performance mods
