    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

why is my 1150 shift so hard

It can be difficult to tell exactly how free the cable is just by squeezing the clutch lever. I would disconnect the cable at both ends, grip the small lead piece on the end of the cable itself and push it back and forth in the housing with my fingers. It should take almost no pressure to slide the cable back and forth. (I usually squirt a bit of chain lube into the cable housing)

It's normal to have to rock the bike back and forth to engage the gears (as others have pointed out). Gear teeth and drive dogs have to be oriented properly to engage.

1150's are pretty picky about the primary gear shim spacing (.003-.008"). If it's too tight the clutch basket won't turn freely and that may cause shifting problems

Check to make sure the shift lever and linkage moves freely. The transmission should shift fairly easily with OR without the clutch when the engine isn't running.
