[Clutch GSX 1100 F doesn't disengage when warm]

It may be the clutch, but the purging of the fluid is a quick and easy thing to do - CliveGTO's  - gunked up inside the cover is another good one to check, nice and easy to resolve - if one of those works then happy days ! …… if not it will be time to open the clutch case and taking the clutch apart - even that's not too bad, just the clutch basket holding tool and the centre nut are tricky, the rest is easy enough - if it is the clutch, then at least the actuation side has been serviced !

Clutch pushrod has been cleaned from all the (very much) nasty and sticky stuff, hydraulic has been flushed though completely...problem still occurs (clutch dismantling, here we go)...

That vents the float bowls so bike will never run or run right. just cut the tube in the middle or remove it all together.

I assembled it with 2 new hoses - as meant to be...

So some numpty has used 1 pipe to join the 2 vent hose spigots?

Yes - exactly!

The 1100F has a hydraulic clutch I think, it's worth bleeding some new dot 4/4.1 fluid through the system to remove any air/water in the fluid - the slave cylinder doesn't move the clutch rod that far, so anything that reduces the movement can cause the clutch not to disengage. Clutches tend to get grabby when hot to make things worse. Worth flushing the old fluid through before you go any further.

Thanks mate - I'll give it a go in this direction before dismantling the clutch.

Basket mite be notched or a warped steel plate ? 

Well, I also have an unpleasant feeling that something is worn out. But, before taking it apart I would check if any of you guys had similar experiences.

For example, sometimes clutch and gearbox problems on older machines can be solved just by using a different oil...

When I stripped down my 1100f engine I found that nearly all the friction material on the clutch plates had started come off! 

Did your clutch behave in the same manner as mine?

[Clutch GSX 1100 F doesn't disengage when warm]

When motor is cold, the clutch engages and disengages perfectly. 

But, when it's warm, the clutch doesn't fully disengage, in the sense that when I stand still, I can't get it into neutral gear - when trying from 1. gear, it pops directly to 2. gear and vice versa...
(And yes, I HAVE read the fucking manual - but, no help here!)... 

So, anybody have at clue what's going on?...

I've recently bought an old GSX 1100 F (1991) on which some not-so-skilled mechanic has apparently in its past made quite a few bad things!...

I'm about to restore those things now, and I'm quite confident I'll succeed in doing so... 

I have one question, though:

The two vent tubes on the picture (no. 5 and no. 14)...on my bike it's the same tube connected to the two studs.

Is this the way it's meant to be - or is it supposed to be two separate tubes?...

My bike: Suzuki GSX 1100 F 1991.

Can someone please tell me, what this adjustment screw at the bottom of each carburettor is for?
