    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.

No slack in clutch.

This may be a basic question, but I have an '83 GS750ES and their is absolutely no slack in the clutch cable. I've tried adjusting it with the jam nuts, but it doesn't seem to do anything. There is also a good amount of slippage at higher RPM's so I'm led to believe that I'm adjusting the cable wrong or that my clutch plates need to be replaced. I assume that I need to drain the oil and take off the clutch cover to check the plates?

Also, if it turns out that the clutch cable is just stretched, how would one go about replacing it?

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Time to crack open the service manual and adjust the clutch properly. Turn in all the cable nuts and adjust the clutch at the helix (or as Terry loves to say, the worm gear). This of course assumes the cable is serviceable.

Good luck
 
if the cable is stretched, you will have too much freeplay. are you adjusting it correctly? screw the adjuster in towards the lever on the bars and unscrew the jam nut on the cable so you can wind the adjuster in, giving you more free play
