Havoc Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Morning gurus. On the way in to work this morning I noticed the old girl has developed a bit of a 'judder' as you let the clutch out to set off in first. Now I remember something similar on my old GS thou 30 odd years ago but I can't for the life remember how I cured it. Suggestions. It's been stood 20 odd years so there are going to be niggles. The chain is ancient, but I checked there were no tight links and the sprockets aren't 'hooked' soI think it's in the motor. Ideas? Ta Quote Link to comment
wraith Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Oil/replace cable or maybe carbs. Quote Link to comment
vizman Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Even a bit of carb balancing might sort that Tom. Quote Link to comment
mark35gun Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 warped clutch plates? Quote Link to comment
Havoc Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Thanks folks. Cable's good, new oil and filter. Carbs could do with a sync and balance, and a bit of DYNO time with the new pipe I guess. I'm erring toward warped/stuck clutch plates after such a long lay up. Thanks Quote Link to comment
BigT Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Don't forget to check for a loose clutch hub nut Quote Link to comment

Arttu Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Also when checking the clutch it might be a good idea to check straightness of the hub and pressure lid. Some years ago I had persistent clutch judder problem that didn't go away by replacing the discs. Finally I found out that both the lid and the hub bottom had some warpage. Straightening them on a lathe fixed the problem. Quote Link to comment
