    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

I have 1977 GS 750. When I'm in fifth gear running about 60 miles an hour, and I gun the throttle the tachometer jumps from 4000 to 6000 RPM. It sounds as though I missed a gear, or the clutche is in. And then the bike takes off. Is this a clutch problem? It sometimes does this in third gear also.
 
Probably time to inspect the clutch if you catch it early enouhh you may get away with replacing just springs. These clutches can take some punishment before giving up ship
 
First thing to do is to make sure the cable is not adjusted so tight that it is not allowing the clutch to grab properly.

If there is a bit of play, which shows that the clutch is fully-engaged, THEN you start playing with parts replacement.

Let me know if you need help, I'm just down the road from you.
