    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...

    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.

Hi all,


i'm looking to put in a new clutch this winter, as mine (with 67000kms on it) started to slip under full throttle last season.


I can get a full barnett clutch kit for $135 , and am wondering whether I should go for it. Do I need the springs? I've heard that they are pretty stiff to use...

any info/tips would be greatly appreciated.

I've always heard that you should do the springs when you do the clutch. Iv've always done both. Last time I got a clutch it was an EBC and total with springs was less than $100. It does hang a little after it cools down. Got to rock it a coulpe of times to break it loose.

I understand the Barnett is a top end clutch and you won't find any better. I had one eons ago in a 75 CB360 and remember it had a bad tendance to hang when it cooled but it would really grab. If you ride hard I'd say go with the Barnett.

$100 with springs.

I can't attest to the quality of performance because I have about 1.5 miles on the kit, but the price is right, and they know alot about GS motors. I went for the extra plate set.

Oh, sorry, those are only for the 1000-1150 bikes.
I don't know what bike you need them for.
