yeah, cant help myself
got the st youve seen as my daily rider
Got the 83gsx1100 with a rig stuck on it (I fuckin luv sidecars)
And....... a gs1000 with a few go fast bits glued on
Im gonna run standard rims though, so no slicks for the moment
My rig has begun slipping its clutch, not badly, just enough to shit me, suggestions?

I'd suspect warped clutch plates.
Straight edge across the steels will tell the story.
Blue colour on them not a good sign either.
Packing up the clutch springs will help after you've fixed it, or a set of Barnett springs.
Knocked 4 seconds off my lap times last Friday.
Suspension changes and some 'new' (secondhandy) slicks, old front one was rooted.

4 seconds, I wont even see you go past me
Thats alot of time in one hit. Very good.
I havent looked at the clutch yet
still using the rig as transport so hopefully the clutch doesnt jump out and fall on the ground
I need to get out and do a track day soon
