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.

Clutch problems are one of the normal things with gs11's. The ticking noise could be just a bit of basket rattle that is normal with a gs of this age and mileage. The "roughness" description is a bit vague. If you mean the way the lever feels as you pull and release the lever, you might have notches wore in the sides of the basket where the fibers and plates ride. These "ridges" will catch the tang on the plates, causing them to cock a bit as they hang up This may also be the source of the ticking. If this is the case a file will relieve some of the ridges that the plates are catching on, as a temporary fix. This is a common problem when a gs has been used as a dragbike. The only real cure I know of is to replace the basket assembly. Good used baskets can be found one fleebay.
As far as changing the clutch, A hand inpact driver and basic hand tools will do the job. You will need a new cover gasket and the fiber plates. Soak the fibers overnight in motor oil before installation. It's a pretty strait forward job.
For oil, I use Shell Rotella and Wix brand filters

Take out your clutch hub. Turn it around and look at the springs. I bet you they are loose and scary. You can buy a kit that you can weld a new backing plate over the primary drive gear after you grind off the old rivets. But then you have to get it balanced. I would send your clutch hub to APE and have them do it. I got lucky and found a good one that Vance and Hines did off Ebay. Falicon also does the job.
Suzuki built a solid bike with these GS1100s but they did put a weak clutch in them.

Those look like nice parts. I may have to save up for one. The stock is good for now.
