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.

so im trying to get the starter clutch off of my 82' GS1100G

i rented a puller and am in the process of getting the assembly off. I only have one question, am i doing it right!?

ive got the puller on there and the bike is in gear. im having a friend hold the rear brake to keep it from moving and im just tightening away. the reason im uncertain is because the puller is already very tightly on there and at this point every time i try to tighten it more it just rocks the bike back and forth. after removing that single large nut on the end the assembly it should be ready to come off right?

are these things just REALLY hard to get off? i just dont want to break anything. thanks for the input in advance!

Never pulled a starterclutch before, but when pressing/pullling, it is helpful to tighten the tool, and give the assembly a couple whacks with a hammer, the vibations will help to free up the part
 
Heat from a MapGas torch warming it to a dull red breaks down the locktite that might be on the shaft. I have pulled mine 4 times this season. I have issues with broken bolts... The heat really helps...

Ray,
Last time was a false alarm... I did not tighten the nut enough... Went to the track on Thursday and no problems...
