i need to replace the pack in my 850 which one should i get DK lists 2 Vesrah and EBC whats the difference and which one should i buy.

i currently have no engagement in the trans
 
My opinion is the Vesrah is lower quality & the EBC is the way to go if you don't want or can't afford Suzuki plates. Do NOT EVER use the Barnett "Extra" plate kits as they will damage your clutch hub. Even if ti takes awhile, it will cause damage! I am a fan of the stock Suzuki plates as they last the longest. I am a drag racer & abuse them as good as anyone & stock lasts! Ray.

Are you sure it's the clutch? No engagement at all it probably isn't the clutch.
 
well the linkage moves freely so it isnt the cable when i put it through the gears i can "feel" it going in each gear but i can release the clutch and nothing happens. so i am assuming that the clutch is fried
 
yeah i breezed through it before bed ill have to pull the rear assembly off and give it look i may as well replace the clutches just for extra insurance

If you do open the clutch, measure everything to make sure it's still in spec, and break the varnish off of everything with 220 grit sandpaper. Unless your clutch has been severely abused, you probably don't need to replace it. No need for insurance, test it to see if it's good. If it's good, save the cash.
 
ok so i put the bike up on its center stand and tried to hold the shaft like in the thread posted but i could not the shaft engages if i stop it at the wheel it is still trying to "roll" forward. so to me this would be the clutches right? if i go through the gears it slows way down if i give it throttle it just raises the RPMs of the motor.

appreciate the help thus far
 
i know that says it is the stripped splines but i honestly dont want to tear my bike down just to have it sit for a week while the parts are coming. not saying i wanna rush and get it done, but my bike is stored outside and i would like to be able to fix the snafu in one shot and be done with it so nothing gets contaminated by dirt or water.

not like its that hard to pull the rear wheel off but if i can fix it then and there i would prefer that over having to wait and do it.

You might as well. It dont sound like its really rideable. When you order your parts Id get a Bike cover too.

yeah i got an all season cover from classic i think the company is, its a really nice cover. got from wal-mart online

ok so i tinkered a bit this morning i cannot stop the driveshaft from turning by hand when i roll the wheel by hand, the engine definitely turns over when in gear when i roll the wheel by hand, lots of resistance versus neutral.

So what's your question at this point? Still not sure what the problem is? Several knowledgeable people here suggest pulling the rear wheel and inspecting the splines. This is the next logical step... Check this link on how to pull the rear wheel http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/images/rear_wheel_removal.pdf
