    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.

my gs1000L clutch became very hard to pull and stopped going in gear cable even broke.replaced cable,discs and springs.still very hard to pull.basket doesn't have any grooves in it.any suggestions where to start looking.
 
Are the clutch springs you used the stock springs...?

Good that you know about the situation of possible notches in clutch basket.
 
the clutch and springs came ebc3335 kit .the new springs are thicker and bit longer and i.m going to try orginal springs back in.just trying to get pointed in right direction.made sure basket was torque also.just stumped at the moment.

I cant say from my experience (have used standard springs, twice) but have seen many comments here that unless drag racing on strip, that any "high performance" or "heavy duty" springs are quite unsuitable and unneeded for street riding.

But your EBC kit says "standard". Hum...... Wonder if maybe your old springs were well worn, and these new ones are getting back to normal.
Whats the chance you are more accustom to hydraulic clutches...?

The EBC springs are much heavier. Either try a set of new OEM springs or you can go 50/50 your old OEM springs & EBC. That gives a slightly heavier (but acceptable) clutch than stock in my experience.
