    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.

GS1100GL. How much time to replace the clutch discs? Have discs, springs, gasket, and tools. HAve a free hour tonight. Should be possible?
 
Yes, throw the fibers in some oil asap to get them soaking. Changing a clutch on these bikes is easy.
 
yes very easy i just got done with mine a couple weeks ago. another tip that was posted when i asked was that you don't have to drain the oil if the bike is leaned over on the side stand.

Wow! Great little tidbit, and in the knick of time -- I'm hoping to do my 1100G this weekend! Any other words of wisdom? This will be the first time I've done this myself...

Thanks in advance,

it was my first time changing a clutch too and it was very easy! just take out all the disks and hold them in one hand and as you put a plate in dicard the old fiber and put in a new one. goes back in just like it came out! do you have a gasket?? oh and before jumping on it and going for a ride make sure you adjust your cable! :oops:
 
yep, quite easy. Put the bike on the side stand and pull up on the handle bars. This gets the bike tilted even more. A board through the back wheel will keep it from spinning as I found it tricky torquing the big nut down with the brake on.

Cool! Looking forward to doing it, and I will definitely remember to adjust the cable before I do something embarassing and stupid! :oops:

Thanks All!

I found that it took more time to scrape off the old gasket than to actually replace the clutch itself. One piece of advice -don't overtighten the bolts that hold the clutch springs in place.

Good luck.
