Clutch slips when cold

[Anonymous]

I have a 79 GS750L. I recently purchased, so don't know if there has been any clutch work done on the bike. When cold, i noticed some slipping of the clutch in first and second gear. I was wondering if there was some way to make an adjustment? Or if parts need to be replaced, what ones?

Thanks for the help

I have experianced this on my 1100e when first leaving house in sub 50 weather. Once temp guage reaches 160 it is gone, I am assuming that this is simply a typical occourance on a wet clutch wth cold oil. Does not slip anyother time, and only on occasion.

Mileage on bike? check the screws on the cluth cover, if there a little chewed up then some one has been in the clutch, if they looked un touched then its original, my 1000 doesnt slip at any temp and yours should not also, change the oil to the factory spec oil then run it a while if it still slips your looking at fiction plates and springs, and figure the oil change as a flush and not a loss of $8,

Mine has 28000 miles on it. I have to take a look at the side to see if it has been worked on or not.
