    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.

After finally getting the bike to idle and run halfway decent, I took it for a drive. It drags in first to the point it pulls the bike forward on flat ground. STIFF clutch pull. BUT.... it slips when it hits 6 grand and I have to back off the throttle?
I want to order new springs and clutch discs, both fiber and steel and be done with it. My local shop is $$$$$...BAD!
Where is a good online place that sells OEM stuff?

Oil...Do I really need MC oil with the wetclutch setup?
 
The main thing with oil is DON'T get friction modified stuff. It will caus ethe clutch to slip.
 
You might be able to find some OEM or Fast by Gast plates on
Dragbike.com. I actually bought some used there, and are still working great. I've tryed EBC and Barnett, both of which dragged heavily. I hear the Fast by Gast are near as good as stock.

The rack release and roller bearing maybe worth replacing while your in there.
 
Check out your clutch cable first. Is it kinked or frayed anywhere? Some aftermarket replacements cause both drag AND slip.
 
If the clutch is hard to pull then you either have aftermarket HD springs or a bad cable. If you have aftermarket springs and your clutch slips you probably either have worn friction plates or your steel plates are glazed over and need to be cleaned with a brillo pad.
