    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.

1980 gs1100E transmission issue

Bike has 30,000 miles. Started getting a noticeable clank when pulling away from stop and during each upshift. I thought was chain slap but it was proper tension. I put the bike on center stand and when I put in gear the bike started badly shaking, worse with each gear. I took off the clutch side cover. The clutch sleeve hub rocks back and forth when the bike is in gear. Is it supposed to do this? What next? I have a video of what the sleeve hub is doing if you want to email me. I can't get it to upload on this site.
 
Does your basket have groves like this?

Just an example of a bad basket, not meant to be exact as yours.
 
Put the video on youtube, photobucket, etc.
 
It's working now. There is going to be some free play without the pressure plate, springs, friction plates and discs installed, but I'm not sure if that's excessive. The springs on the backside of the basket shouldn't effect that either, since they work on the primary gear and wont do anything without the other clutch components mentioned above. Where exactly is the noise coming from? Could the dampeners in the rear hub be shot?

If they are worn down or broken like these, it may feel like the chain is slack.
 
The noise is from the transmission area. I checked for the rear wheel hub slop but there is none.
