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.

    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 To You All. Was Knocked Off My Bike A Month Ago. The Clutch Cable Was The Last Thing I Had To Fix, New One Replaced, And Set Up As Manual Said., But It Will Not Work. Cant Get It Topull Clutch In Far Enough To Disengauge, Have Adjusted It At Lever & Arm, To Their Full Extent. Still No Joy. Have Change Bars To Drag Ones, There Is Aslight Bigger Curve In Cable But No Bends. Could It Be The Clutch Its Self Or The Springs?????? Bike Was Ok Before I Was Knocked Off. It Fell On The Left Hand Side And Smashed The Gen. Cover. The Bike Is A Gs750 Monoshocked Frame With A Gs1000 Engine. Hope Some One Can Point Me In The Right Direction. Thanks Guys.
 
Have you loosened the pinch bolt on the "cam" lever (lower clutch lever) and rotated it a spline or two, clockwise? It may have been bent in the accident.
 
I go with Dave on this. Make sure the tooth drive inside is properly located, take the lever off the top & rotate it round a bit on the splines & try again.
It is possible to have it in the proper place (or appearing to be) but the splined rod is in the wrong place when you seated it. You have to make sure it's turned all the way to where it just starts to put pressure on the clutch then fit the arm.

You'll get there.

If the engine is bored and built for more power you might have to run heavy duty clutch springs.

Hi Guys. Clutch Is Now Sorted. It Had A Bent Cam???? New One Fitted. I Have The Chance To Get A Set Of Good Cv Carbs. Are They Better Than The Slide Ones Which I Have On The Bike Now. Are They A Straight Swop??:-)
 
Cam = actuator rod? = the shaft you put the lever on

Without knowing more about your Cv carbs, can't really say if they'll swap

In general (using a GS1000 as an example) - the early models have 26mm slide carbs, the later ones have 32mm CVs that require a different "big port" head. No real performance gain, tho
 
different ports at the head for vm vs cv carbs, i dont think cv carbs would fit your engine
yup, a bit easier to set cv carbs (in stock configuration)
