    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...

    Time for a new clutch

    Yikes, that sounds like an experience to remember.

    Time for a new clutch

    You might have convinced me to try sanding them... We'll see how they measure and how lazy I'm feeling once I get them out and inspected.

    Time for a new clutch

    Of course, anything to give back to the community that has been an invaluable resource for me.

    Time for a new clutch

    I thought about trying to sand them but I think I'm just going to try new frictions so I can be done with it for good. I will dry a few off and take pictures though, for those who are curious. I'll see if I can see a glazed surface and if so, try to capture it with a camera.

    Time for a new clutch

    I'm going to tear it down and do a visual inspection and measure the plates. If the steels look fine I will just replace the frictions. I'm going to try the EBCs. Thanks everyone!

    Time for a new clutch

    I came across you in other threads mentioning you use EBC fibers with no issue. Thanks for the tip concerning the oil pickup screen.

    Time for a new clutch

    The cable is adjusted per the oem manual. That's the first thing I checked.

    Time for a new clutch

    When I had it apart to replace the springs, I did measure the friction and steels and they were all within spec at that time as I recall. I don't know the history of the bike. The guy I bought it from claimed to be the second owner, but that's all I know. It had 24k on it when I purchased it...

    Time for a new clutch

    My 850 has had a slipping clutch under WOT for the last ~6,000 miles. A few years ago I installed new OEM clutch springs and that seemed to fix it for a while, but now it's slipping again, but bad enough it's not much fun to ride. Any more than half throttle and it slips in all gears. When...

    The Good Humor GS850G

    Yes, I had a set of chinese made intake boots on my 850 and they're trash. There's several threads on here discussing aftermarket boots but the general consensus is to get OEM. The only reason I used the Chinese boots is because I bought a parts bike and the seller gave me the boots new unopened...

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    The weather in my area of MI has finally warmed up and seems to be staying that way, so I've been commuting on the 850L. I put about 300 miles on it last week. I've set a goal for myself, to ride my 850 5,000 miles this season before putting it away for the winter. This may not seem like much...

    Yes, but they got hidden when the forum went to this new format. You have to unhide them somehow, I don't recall how.

    Glad to see the GK out and about! I'm hoping to start commuting on my GS this week. It's been raining so much and chilly in the morning, not quite riding time. But weather this week is looking promising.

    Ah bummer. Well I have a friend up near you, Kalkaska area I'd like to ride up to sometime. Maybe we could ride then!

    I'm jealous, would love a side car. Looks good!

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Where are you located in MI? I'm looking for a wingman if you're not far from the Flint area. I lost my riding buddy after he wrecked his bike. He's doing fine after a 6 month recovery but his wife "encouraged" him to sell the bike after that...

    It's been awful nice on this side of the state. Unfortunately haven't been able to ride the GS yet. Been doing yard work and catching up on vehicle repairs/maintenance. I look forward to seeing pictures of the GK!
