    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 slipping

Have an 82 GS1100EZ with 21K on it, seems like the cluth is slipping and the cable is adjusted out, so I believe that I would have to replace both the friction plates and metal plates?
 
You have a two cylinder 1100? :p
Get a manual and a caliper.
Pull the clutch pack and measure the fibers and steels. Look for burnt steels and I like to take steel wool to them to get any glazing off of them.
Replace the clutch springs with stock or aftermarket. I like to run the Barnett springs but I'm pushing more horse power but with stock motors I scatter the Barnett and stock springs.
 
Hi Guys,

i replaced the clutches and springs on my GS850 but i'm having issues adjusting the clutch, they are now slipping and also the first gear engages kind of hard. i believe i pour too much oil cause now it's leaking at the top of the engine (i have the gasket will replace that too). i used four quarts of oil! any help will be appreciated....
 
Four quarts of oil is good, if the engine was completely dry and you also changed the filter.

It would have been better to start your own thread, rather than resurrect one that was dead a year and a half ago.
