Clutch Problems

Throw out arm pic's

Hey CafeKid,

I'm all for listening to good info, heck at this point peeing on a spark plug was my next step

I was at a cookout this afternoon so i didn't have time to take pics and respond.

So, here are the pic's you requested.

and

One thing i did notice, The EBC springs i got from DK were about an inch longer than the stock springs i pulled out, could they have sent me the wrong springs ?

an inch longer?? That seems a bit odd. I know that old sacked out springs will be SOME shorter than new, but that seems a bit much..dunno for sure though. One thing I would try first however is shifting that arm OUTBOARD a few splines...You'll have to let some cable adjustment out to do it, but it might be the problem. I have to admit that set up is slightly different from most of the other GSs, just in the way its put together, but USUALLY that arm is either in line with the clutch cover, or pointing out just a touch.. If you do that, when you pull the lever, the arm will pull the clutch out farther and SHOULD disengage..

Okay CafeKid,

I'll give that a try tomorrow and see how it does.

Thanks,

Hey blowerbike,

I can do that, I've gotta pull it back down anyway.

I measured my stock springs last night and they were right at 36.5MM like the manual states they should be.

I'm starting to thing the fibers were the reason for the slippage and these EBC springs are just too much spring for this bike.

I'll take pic's of both with the ruler in the middle for reference.
