Late last month after taking my 81XS1100H out for her first ride I blew the clutch out of the old girl. Apparently some water had gotten in there and rusted the plates a little, then the fact that I was leaking a little of oil, well lets just say she needs a new clutch. Here's my fairly large problem, I'm up here in Northern ontario where the bike seems to be very rare and I've got a very big parts problem. IF you look at the Yamaha parts breakdown I can't seem to get a #1 Clutch Plate, which is item 7 on the breakdown. Mine is unsalvagable, It's the steel plate with the smooth outer ring & geared inner ring that sits at the end of the clucth pack. Does anybody have one of these they could spare out a parts bike? I've tried all the parts suppliers & they say they are out of stock & can't give me an ETA to restock time. If I can't find this dumb thing I may have to give up on the old girl. I'm going to also start looking for a parts bike or another running XS but as I said she's a rare bird up here.
Thanks for any help guys
