    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.

help definitely needed
I have a 1982 GS650G shaft drive model which I have recently just changed the clutch plates on.
But now the clutch is very stiff , wear as before you could pull it in with one or two fingers you now have to use agood hand full.
The clutch springs were replaced at the same time and every procedure
from the clymer manual was followed properly and the cable is routed correctly.
I would be most grateful for some advice








I have a :?
 
You may want to make sure the cable itself is running freely in the housing. Also, did you get heavier springs then you had before?
 
It's common for the kit springs to be stiffer. Some guy use half new and half old springs.
 
Hi Joy;
Did you use the Barnett performance plates and springs ??
These springs are VERY STIFF. I have them too. WOW on the hand and forearm.

Check
 
If you didn't use stock springs, it will assuredly be stiffer. I ended up shimming my old springs with sparkplug washers. Works great. No slipping, easy pull on the lever. I had EBC springs from J.C Whitney, but they were way too long.
