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.

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.

Slipping out of gear 82 1100e

Searched and found no info. The bike started slipping out of third under acceleration. Sometimes the neutral indicator comes on, sometimes not, but it is definitely in no gear at all.

It has happened from 4th once as well. When in 3 and it pops out, shifting up brings it back to 3, down back to 2. When it slips out in 4th, shifting up takes it back to 4, down back to 3. It appears to be in the right place, just slipping out.

The clutch has started a little dragging when pulled in, and I suspect this is related. No real force to it, but I can feel the pull when sitting at a light.

Suggestions on where to start?
 
When the bike jumps out of gear like that it is usually because the trans gear engagement dogs are beat up & rounded. The fix is to pull the trans & send it to be undercut. You can pull the trans on a GS motor by just removing the lower case half. You don't need to disassemble the top end at all. Pull the motor out of the bike, remove the case bolts in the top half of the cases, flip the motor upside down & remove the lower case bolts. You also need to remove the clutch hub & the plates behind it that tie the case halves together. You also have to pull the ignition plate. f you don't have one go buy a shop manual to do this job or pay to have it done by someone that knows how to do it CORRECTLY! Ray.
 
Damn Ray, that dont sound like much fun.

How many miles ya got on your bike Jedi ? I found by simply lubing the shift arm on the shaft helps alot.
 
Pulling the bottom case is an intimidating job, but it's totally doable. I helped a friend do it to his GS a while back and it was much easier than I thought. Just keep track of all those bolts!
 
Make a cardboard templet for the bolts, they are different lengths. Take lots of pictures
 
I believe the proper response here is "Zoiks". I was hoping for a simple fix, dangit.
I ain;t gonna have the time for that, guess I'll start looking for someone in Oklahoma City that works on the old ones, and have it done.

What else should i do while I (or they) are in there?
 
Pay someone else to get that intimate with your GS?
Why?
Your kitchen table was meant for this.
 
The same issue sidelined my GS750ES at about 56K miles - but only in second gear.

Sourced near-new gears on eBay for less than $40.00 - just haven't actually split the cases yet. Y'know, life and all... :oops:
