    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.

Well I rode my 750 for the first time since I returned from a trip in late June and the clutch is starting to slip. Cable is adjusted properly and now when I really get on it it starts to slip around 7000rpm. I really don't have the cash for a new clutch at this time anyone have a simple fix ?
 
scuff the steel disks

scuff the steel disks

scuff the disks with sand paper to get a little more life and change the springs while you're at it

Are you using synthetic motor oil? Up to 1/2 - 3/4 throttle my bike is fine using 15-50 Mobil 1 but if I blip the throttle higher in 3rd or higher gear the clutch slips but will eventually "catchup". If I put in Suzuki Regular Oil 10-40 or 50wt no slippage at all to redline of 9500 if wanted. I have 30k on the original clutch assy. 81-750E

I use the synthetic for highway summer as no loss of oil and engine/trans run smoother/cooler and alot longer too. And it's the same price as the Suzuki dino oil. I have no reason to grab the second handful of throttle to reach redline other than a rare thrill for an old man. Probably just as well it slips a bit when I get crazy:)

So the "simple fix" is: Only "get on it" 1/2 - 3/4 as much.

I have Castrol 10w40 motorcycle oil in it. Never had any issues with it before and it didn't miss a beat on my recent 800 mile trip.
 
if you opt to just change the springs I would still take a close look at your fiber plates. Once the clutch cover is off youre right there...you might as well pull them. If you have a couple wearing really thin that fiber material will contaminate your oil.
