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.

GS750EC a bit of clutch slip

Hi folks, I'm detecting a bit of clutch slip, mainly in 2nd gear when giving the girl some stick.
I've previously adjusted same and have also changed the oil to a quality 20W-50 mineral grade easily available here in Perth. (Think Mediterrainian climate).
As far as I can tell, there has been no change out of clutch plates so I'm probably running the originals.
To refurbish (if required) what do I need?
PS:Before having to contemplate big bikkies, I'll have another go at adjustment.
 
Yes, the first thing to do is to verify proper adjustment. The next thing will likely fix the slip, and that is to replace the set of six springs in the clutch. Please do yourself (especially your left hand) a favour, get OEM Suzuki springs, not any of the aftermarket "heavy duty" springs.

There are 6 springs. I bought a set of the aftermarket heavy duty springs, and on the advise of someone, only used 3 of them, replacing every other one. It has worked fine for several years now, no issues. It started out with slippage under load like yours. I still have the other 3 if you would like them. I just noticed your location, shipping would maybe be higher than buying a set.
