    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.

Ive been searching the threads and i can not find one like this.

Recently I began prepping my 750 for warm weather. I pulled the clutch and fluid poured from the chain guard area and now my clutch doest really work..not that i can get the bike to start anyhow. I can see that i need a new clutch cable to begin with so i will replace that for starters but where did this fluid come from? Also what is the 'dial-like' knob in the middle of the carbs on the bottom side towards the airbox?
 
Helps to know what year and model you have. The only fluid I can imagine would be motor oil. It's a wet clutch that's designed to run inside the engine/trans compartment. If you've got a manual go through the clutch adjustment procedure and let us know if that doesn't take care of the problem.

I would think the knob you're talking about is from the cam chain adjuster. It is never adjusted. It is serivced only when there are cam chain tension problems or if the cams are removed.
 
You are talking about the "Idle Adjustment screw/knob" on your carbs. All this does is change the RPM that your bike idles at.

You want it set between 900 and 1100 rpm after the bike has warmed up.
If it's working fine and is adjusted right currently, don't mess with it too much.
 
its a 1980 gs750l..too many problems to list and the fluid evaporated in like a day..motor oil doesnt evap.
