    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.

GS1100ED Clutch dragging

I have had my bike sitting around for almost two years (sorry the big D). Cleaned the carbs today and plan on getting it registered tomorrow. Also have the SSPB installed.

So basically this thing has not run for more than 20 minutes in those two years. Never had the issue before (other than after sitting for about the first year and I rode it from the old house to a shop) but the clutch is dragging a bit.

Did the clutch plates swell from sitting?

Should I adjust it now or let it settle in after getting it hot?

It is rid able just difficult to get into neutral.

OK I just have to get the legs stretched out to make the trip. SSPB hardly got a temp rise. It was the Compufire if anything got up to 75-80 deg.

It is looking good!
And if the clutch bothers you, pull the cover and the plates. Soak them overnight in oil and reassemble and you should be good.
