    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.

Hi so I have a 1979 GS1000 that I just finished modding and I took it for a ride yesterday for the first time and it has a rattle but also seems to have very short engagement on the lever.

End of range

I have read that clutch nut is horrible and comes loose and that there is complete rebuilt kits. Bike has 30,000 miles so I dont know if the baskets need to get done so I was thinking just clutch plates, springs, and nut. Can somebody point me in the right direction for the springs and nut? I was gonna get OEM plates but the sites I've checked out the packaged kits are for GS1100's or 1980's model bikes. Then there is talk of welding stuff etc. So I'm a little lost :(

Plates: OEM
Springs: ??
APE nut: ??

Thanks!
 
or the arm on top of the clutch case

Does the clutch rattle? Does the rattle go away when you squeeze the clutch lever?
Does it slip?

If yes to the rattle, an inspection is required
If no to the slip, it's the basket, not the plates and springs
