    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 problem

Hey guys, Bought a 1978 GS750E a week and a half ago and have been getting it road worthy with new sprockets, chain, re-sealed the airbox, plugs, oil, recharged the filter, and so on...

Well got the bike some what back together, but the clutch is not engaging/disengaging. The clutch worked fine before I took it apart but now nothing. I replaced the cable cuz im sure it was the original, had to take off the sprocket cover and the arm that engages the clutch and Im positive thats where my problem lies. I never touched the actual clutch basket just this arm on the sprocket side.

I put the arm back on and it moves very freely with no engaging or disengaging of the clutch, I was messing around with it tightening and loosening the clutch rod and its either too loose where its moves too freely or tight to where it wont move.


I need some insight on how to get this working, is there any special way? Thanks
 
You have to get it in the right spot... basically so it's "just about" to start pulling on the clutch when the lever is fully released.

As Dan said, the problem is the arm in the left side cover
