    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.

Hi, I made a big mistake and pulled apart the clutch release on my 78 GS750. For reference http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm?gclid=CJ22vdnr1KUCFQPVbgodJlCllw
1. There's a slimy/dirty paste all over the ball-guides and ball-release maybe it was once grease? When I put this back together do I apply grease or leave it clean?
2. The push-rod is straight but moves back and forth and spins with no resistance (bike hasn't been run in two years+). Something tells me this shouldn't happen?
3. Assuming I don't put any grease/oil on where the push-rod fits into the ball guide as there has to be grip between these surfaces. Should I apply anything to these surfaces?
Thankyou for any help with this.
Ben.
 
Yes..grease it..how it works is the balls roll out of the dimples and spread the 2 halves...one half will them press in on the push rod..which in turn pushes out on the pressure plate and disengages the clutch plates.

As for the push rod..it will turn and pull out...thats normal. Just wiggle it around real good to be sure the end at the clutch seats in the recess on the back of the release bearing shaft.
