    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...

ok, so I have a 1982 GS750e, and I have 2 problems that dont make sense together...

1) I put the bike up on the centerstand today, and in first gear, holding the clutch in all the way, the tire is still spinning as if the clutch was out...when I let the clutch out there is no difference in speed, only a little power is gained. (I can slow it down by hand, but not when I dump the clutch). This doesnt affect riding all that much, except when shifting from Neutral, I sound like Im killing something. the bike doesnt push forward (except when Im trying to start it, it will jerk a bit) with the clutch in. any ideas? I have tried adjusting the cable, but to no avail...

2)my other problem is that when I am in 2nd or higher and I really crank it open, it feels like the clutch is slipping. it will rev really high, and I wont go any faster. so basically my 0-60 is like 20+ seconds, because I have to take it easy. I heard someone say that it might be dirty oil, but I just recently changed my oil (maybe 2 months ago, and I only started seriously riding it about 2 weeks ago. I thought that it may be that the clutch isnt engaging all the way due to my adjusting for the spinning wheel, but I have no idea...do you?
thanks

Just to the right of, and above, the transmission, when looking at it from the side, you will see the cable end, and what looks like a small lever.

This is part of the the clutch actuator and the cable attaches to it. If that little lever is misaligned/off position, the clutch will not fully release, no matter how hard you pull the lever on the handlebar.
 
:cry: sounds like burnt clutch plates and warped steel plates to me :cry:
 
Point #1:
Mine does that. First gear, clutch pulled, wants to move.
Center stand, NEUTRAL, enigine running, wheel spinning. No power to it though. FIRST GEAR, clutch in, spins.

I get no slippage though. Firm engine to trans lockup.
