    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.

I bought an 1150 from california. the previous owner told me the clutch needed to be changed. when i got the bike from the freight company, i noticed the cluitch was VERY stiff.

we mic'd the clutch plates and put the new clutch in... and it is still stiff.

what gives?


I dont think its the springs. We changed springs and it didnt do aanything./
 
Did you use OEM springs ??. Sometime a bad cable can do it too.
 
Did you check the clutch basket?

Some aftermarket clutches tend to wear grooves in the basket, making it hard for the clutch plates to slide

Also, did you check the metal plates for flatness on a piece of glass?
