    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.

Finding it difficult to select neutral sometimes also when in neutral a bit clunky going into first gear,could this be selector forks and do both generally go at the same time.If they are gone can they be replaced without stripping engine.Conan

Shift fork changing requires splitting the engine. Just open your factory manual and take a look at what's involved.

More likely the issue is related to excessive clutch drag. Did you adjust the clutch to reduce free play and then see if that helps? If not then I'd plan to check the clutch plates to be sure they are flat...or just replace them. Both steel and fiber.

On my old GS1000 the clutch would drag making it difficult to find neutral. After replacing the clutch plates the issue completely went away.
 
When you say adjust the clutch do you mean the cable.I've replaced the cable and have no play in it at all

No play at all? Clutch cable is too tight, has to have some play to keep the clutch from being engaged all the time.
