    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.

Strange issue, could be clutch going bad?

on my gs850G If I really get on the gas, let's say on an on ramp the engine will rev up steadily accelerating until about 5k then the engine will keep reving without much more acceleration then when it nears the redline the bike will surge forward. Its always done this and honestly its kinda fun but I'm starting to think that it might be getting worse and my friend suggested it might be my clutch going bad. There aren't any other signs of a bad clutch besides that the wheel will still spin a bit if the bikes on the center stand with the clutch pulled in.

I'm about to embark on a long trip so It would be good to prevent any catastrophic failures should I just replace the clutch? if so what's a good brand? EBC?
 
I will second the vote for springs. No "kit" that I know of, just order six springs and a clutch cover gasket.

Springs (item #15) are $3.43 each, you will need six.

The gasket (ironically also #15) is $8.60, but you only need one.

While you have the springs out, remove a few of the disks, measure the thickness of the fibers.
Chances are that you won't need them, but at least you'll KNOW their condition.

Don't forget to enter the promo code for $4.99 shipping. :encouragement:
