    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Uh oh....transmission?

I had to do my clutch at 17k miles. You can check the wear using a micrometer and the tolerances in the manual.

If you get new pressure plate springs, don't use aftermarket, have the supplier get you genuine Suzuki. All the others are too stiff- unless you have Popeye arms...
 
About clutch plates "wearing out" at such low miles:
Well, yes, like others said, some riders wear harder on clutch depending on how they use/abuse the clutch. And in addition to "wearing" out the clutch so that the material is worn away, there is also a possibility the the materail is not worn away so much, but has become hard and brittle over time and abuseage such that it slips and doesnt grab like it should. I think this happens more if the rider slips the clutch alot and/or engine runs hot.
