    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...

    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.

clutch issue

I have a 1979 suzuki gs750L. I was on my way back from a 20 mile highway ride yesterday and as I was getting off on the off ramp I pulled my clutch and nothing was there. I was still able to shift down to first without the clutch but as I came to a stop the bike cut out. I figured the clutch cable might of detached in the clutch housing but it didn't. I took the side cover off to look and as I pull the clutch in, I can see that the cable still pulls on the mechanism in the clutch housing, but as soon as I drop it into first it lurches forward like I don't have my clutch engaged. The center nut on the clutch assembly was loose, so I tightened it, but still when I drop to first it lurches then dies. Any suggestions?
 
worm gear!
run it in..bottom out lightly.
back off 1/2 turn then jam the nut without the screw turning.
make further adjustments as needed else ware.
 
thanks buddy, fixed it in 20 mins. kinda annoying trying to keep the clutch assembly set right. all good though!
 
I'm sorta having the same problem, I can adjust the clutch tighter then the bike acts like it's always engaged, if I loosen it, the bike acts like there is no clutch and takes off. I have adjusted the clutch many times. But it seems like there is no middle ground with this. Not has fairly new plates and springs, any ideas?
