I just bought myself a 1985 GS700 and it needs a clutch pretty bad. I've never swapped one before and I'm looking for some guidance. Anyone out there that can help? Thanks a lot

Remove the clutch cover, remove the 4 bolts holding the pressure plate, remove the springs behind those bolts & the pressure plate. Remove all the clutch plates EXCEPT the last steel that is held in place with a wire. Replace with new plates & reassemble in reverse order of removal. My advice to you FIRST thing, though, is to GET A SHOP MANUAL!!! Ray.

Thanks Ray, I got a manual and I just ordered the parts. I think I might take pictures as I go and post it. Maybe I can help some other new guys out with clutch work.

I got a kit through my local Suzuki dealer, I should have checked here. I haven't been on in awhile. Thanks for the offer though!
