    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.

Time for a new clutch

Understood, just read up on that in the manual. Kind of vague as to the adjustment of the lever on the engine. It seems that if you loosen the lever from the spline, you could then feel where it is engaging, and have your "0" zero point, then put the lever back in the proper position. I worked for a Suzuki dealership many years ago (during that era, Parts Manager)) I remember mechanics checking the play by removing the arm, then checking how the spline shaft was positioned against the clutch, and checking the engagement with the lever. Sometimes the lever was moved a couple of grooves. You'll get it sorted, I'm sure. :)

The lever adjustment is quite simple. You just rotate the shaft until it engages the clutch basket release shaft thing (Suzuki calls it RACK RELEASE) and put the clutch lever on the splines in a position that allows the clutch cable to connect to it, with enough cable adjustment either way.

Anyways, it has been sorted. All it needed was the new friction discs. Pulls hard now! I haven't enjoyed riding it this much in a while. It's such a blast, like a brand new bike! I'm gonna go for a quick ride right now since it's cooled down.
