    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.

Need a lighter pull clutch lever

I have a 1979 GS 750L and would like to have a lighter pull on the clutch lever. Everthing is new from the cable to the clutch assembly. Is there a lever which would reduce the pull of the clutch and fit the GS? Or what else may be done to improve it by like 40% less pull. :rolleyes:
 
Did you replace the clutch springs, too? :-k

Were they stock springs or aftermarket?

Many aftermarket springs, especially the 'high-performance" ones are much stiffer than stock.

Unless you have a big-bore kit, high-compression pistons and higher-performance cams, stock springs are entirely adequate for most riding.

.
 
+3 if not stock, get stock springs, the so called 10% stiffer springs are more like 50% stiffer.

get a brand new Suzuki clutch cable, they come with a super slimey gopher guts grease and make a definate reduction in clutch pull.

gummed up cable = hard pull.
 
Well everyone is right. I used aftermarket springs and clutch cable. Go figure. :eek: Thanks to all for answering my questions.
