    Slipping Clutch

    Hello,

    My clutch on my GS450e is always slipping. It doesnt matter how much I adjust by but it still slips. It slips worst when cold and as the bike heats up the slipping reduces but is still there.

    I have renwed the springs and friction plates. I have tried putting in stronger springs (they were slightly shorter) but know luck.

    If the adjuster screw is right out it still slips. I have adjusted as per the manual.

    The steel plates are not worped and i haven replaced them. The are are on thier service limit for thicknes.

    Please help.

    What type of oil are you using

      10/40 standard motorcycle oil. Just replaced it but no luck.

      Someone suggested soaking the friction plates in oil for a few hours?

        What shape is your cable in? I had problems once and it was the cable length and routing that was the culprit, plus it was getting gummy in the sleeve .
