    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...

Quick question before I spend the cash. I was checking the clutch today and found the stock hub nut to be loose. I would like to replace it with an APE nut, but they don't have one listed for the 750 engine. Is the nut for a GS1100 the same as a 1981 GS750? Thanks in advance.

I think it was Ed that told me the 1150 nut is also an upgrade from most of the earlier models. Thanks to him I have one on my 1000 and so far so good.
You need a different size socket for it as it is a smaller socket size.
 
Ok, good to know thanks. I just ordered a new locking washer from alpha-sports. Since they have a minimum order amount I also got all new gas tank cushions and bolt, along with oil filter and o-ring :) I'll order the APE nut tomorrow. The Clutch basket looks good, no gouges, the steels and fibers are all new, (replaced 3 years ago, 0 miles since replacement). I goofed when I replaced the clutch and used heavy duty springs, couldn't even pull the clutch lever it was to stiff. Going to try 3 stock and 3 HD springs and see how it does.
 
Alpha Sports has a nice parts fishe but their parts are expensive. Next time you might want to check Part Shark if price is a concern.
 
I did notice they a little high, I'll look at Part Shark next time. Except for offset front sprocket, rear sprocket and chain, I think I'm done buying parts.
 
I guess it fits 550s thru 1150 according to the online Suzuki parts site. We will upgrade the description on our site.
