    1980 gs1100e clutch WOES

    Ok so my bike had some clutch rattle and i figured i'd pull the clutch cover off and check it out, upon doing so i come to find that the clutch plates have worn slots in the clutch basket, When i changed my oil there was a scary amount of metal in the oil filter, and in the bottom of my oil bucket. Now my question is, 1 what to buy to fix the problem, 2 is that much metal floating around my motor enough to make it undriveable, seeing that it will probably take me a week or so just to find the parts, I don't want to be without my baby for that long
    Thanks

    Time for a new clutch basket.

    Ebay is your friend.

    Motorcycle salvage yard is your bunkmate.

        That, I wouldn't know. I wouldn't think that it could get much much worse before you replace the clutch basket.

        But get another opinion, I'm pretty happy-go-lucky and your usage may vary.
