  1. I threw my hands up in horror and screamed "replace everything" but I defer to the consensus.:laughing:

  2. It wouldn't hurt just to dress the tangs on the plates with a file! That outer basket looks very notched, but for me, the test is, does it work OK? If the clutch operates fine, I'd leave it. Depends if a rattle bothers you! :D

  3. If it's working ok ( like mine) leave it well alone.
     
  4. Thought I'd better update this as I've not been on in ages!

    I dressed up the teeth of the clutch plates and so far so good, no noticeable changes but the clutch has never given any issues in operation so I guess that's no surprise. Bike hasn't done huge mileage but I still managed a good few nice rides before laying it up for the winter. Over winter it got a full service including valve clearances (all in spec!) and fresh belts so it's fighting fit and ready to go. I was a bit lax in getting it booked in for MOT so having to wait until the 16th May until I can get seen but I'm sure the wait will be worth it! That being said I might be selling, I'm reducing my number of bikes to just 1 (and the Suzuki project but we won't speak about that one :sob:) and trying to find something that gives me the thrills of the 748 but with a little more practicality for touring or work trips. I've had a GS for the past couple of years and it's been great but could never be my only bike and the 748 is a bit of a pain if I need to travel with more than a rucksack

    Hard to tell what everything is worth at the moment but I'd like to get £5k for it based on condition and mileage but I'm open to offers. Will put a proper listing up once it's MOT'd
     
  5. Struggling with photos at the moment, see a bunch here, https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14zvXmSAFLMzg_e39qIe3LGS_cq-f1qz3?usp=sharing.
