Pulled the clutch many times, but can't recall if after torquing the inner clutch hub Ape nut to 50ft.lbs.,if the the inner hub should spin or not. Having a moto-brain fart on this one. Figured I'd better ask before trying to go for B-day ride tomorrow. Thanks for any advice.

ray would know but figure going no more than 10% over factory recommendations. Use a torque wrench. -

It's in neutral, it does spin, but there's quite a bit of resistance, doesn't seem right.GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ESComment

Are the clutch plates still installed?Comment

plates are out but may be the basket/pump gear aren't mated correctly.Comment

You are going to have to change the thickness of the shim behind the inner hub.

Just got back from 75 mile loop. Would been longer, but I forgot my wallet.
Talked to Terry this morning and he walked me through the "what if" situations. I had used the same shim behind the other HD basket torqued to 50 ft.lbs. The inner hub would not spin. I marked where the notches on the back of hub were and was fairly certain I engaged it properly, but then doubted my certainty when it wouldn't spin. When I backed the torque off, it spun.
The notches were where they're supposed to be, so I chose a thicker shim and only torqued to 42 ft.lbs. The inner hub spins now and the clutch seemed to work properly on the ride. Thanks for the advice given.GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ESComment
