[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 188765, member: 2409"] So as far as the shifting troubles go, I am sure that it was due to oil in the clutch housing. I know that the scavenger pump works and should be able to drain the clutch cavity if nothing is blocking the inlet. So the pump inlet must have been blocked. Maybe when I cracked the big rear cover open and all that oil drained out, whatever was blocking washed out so I didn't find any blockage when I examined the pump. Or maybe it was being blocked by that bit of pump gasket that goes across the inlet. I trimmed that bit away as per Dan's suggestion. Never would have tracked this down without CGW. You look in the "Trouble-shooting" in the Honda service manual under "clutch drags" and there is no mention of scavenger pump or too much oil...useless IMO. CGW rocks As a side note: I bought a '79 Suzuki GS850 in 2006. When I got it running for the first time I found I could not shift into first gear without a huge clunk and stalling it. The only way I could get the clutch unstuck enough for a test ride was to start it on the centre stand, in gear, with the clutch pulled in. Than rev it up and step on the rear brake. Found out on the GS Resources Forum that year had way too much oil flow to clutch. They had a simple mod to restrict flow and the clutch worked fine after. What amazes me is the all the owner of that bike from '79 to me somehow put up with that clutch :shock: [/QUOTE]
