    does it in 1st and 2nd  but stops as soon as the clutch is out no problems at any other times tried rolling in top from low speed and tried heavy throttle as soon as clutch is out  and it does not matter if I use high revs or low to pull away. looked ot OEM parts from robinsons and full clutch is over £250 EBC is just over a £100  EBC ordered for now this is only a bike for fun as have 4 other bikes 3 of which are running and legal and a classic yank car and a daily so I dont need it to be perfect just there when my rose tinted glasses are on :)

    Welcome to OSS,

    Dose it only do it in first gear?

    Have you tried it in a higher gear on a rolling start?

    Dose it do it if you keep it in the same gear or dose it go away after a certain rpm?

    DON'T use EBC they are shit use OEM.

    Dont worry I wont hold it against you as I also have a yamahaha and a harley furguson as well as my 3 suzi's and have always had a bike on the road since 79 but never come across anything like it even my local dealer (bikes not that) says clutch but does not know what part no ridges or grooves in the basket and given the choice I would run it on old school GTX style real oil never trusted all this new fangled synthetic rubbish (now I am starting to sound like my old man) :) was going to order EBC plates as they seam to be about the only thing available these days

    Hi I have just bought myself anothe Gs1000 having owned 1 for over 10 years in the 80s and 90s just had to have another. The bike feels like the chain is jumping on front sprocket (it isnt) when you pull away only does it when you pull away so not gear box or anything else must be clutch pulled the plates out and they all look OK but will replace them all and springs and probably the thrust bearing and (if I can find the tool I made years ago to hold the clutch basket while  I loosen the centre nut) the roller bearing but as I am not seeing anything wrong am a little bit worried I have not found the problem. Any one ever had anything simler having owned and abused one of these for so long I thought I had found every problem possible but this is a new one for me. Thanks in advance
