    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.

Hello,
I finally bought some new clutch fibres and springs.
10% heavier springs, hoping this will cure the dreaded slipping clutch.

Goodridge part nos CK3335 and CSK06 for fibres and springs respectively.

anyway, how long should i soak the fibres for in clean motor oil?

Cheers

Ed
 
FYI, when I replaced the clutch discs on my 1100G I soaked them for only a few hours, and several thousand miles later (of mostly aggressive riding) I've not had any issues with them.

If that changes I'll let you all know.

Regards,

Re: Soaking new clutch fibres

Sir, might I inquire where you bought them and what they cost you?
My fibers cost me over a hundred bucks 2 years ago, and feel like mine are slipping.

OK, Im in Australia, and bought them from John Stamnas Pty LTd.

although Im sure Goodridge is a US brand?

I paid $AUD131.82 for the fibres = $USD 98.87
springs $31.82AUD = $23.87 USD approx.

hope this helps.

Cheers

the old fibres didnt look too worn, however looked glazed.

PS i soaked the new fibres overnight.
